5 Tips For Buying Authentic K-Pop Products In Korea At A Lower Cost

If you're a K-Pop fan, you might want to purchase albums, light sticks, photobooks, DVDs, and other merchandise. You might also enjoy collecting different versions and displaying them at home. Just looking at your bias photo cards can brighten up your day, even if you're just in your room.

As the popularity of K-Pop grows, there has been an increase in fake products and unreliable shipping services, leading to unpleasant experiences for some buyers.

Since Korea is quite far from Spain, when purchasing goods that can only be found in Korea, you need to consider various factors such as the product price, shipping fees, shipping services, and ensuring the safe arrival of your goods.

To help you purchase K-Pop goods at a lower cost and with more security, here are some tips for using various websites:

 

1. Check if they offer shipping to your country from Korea

When it comes to K-Pop, Korea is the place to be. Products that come directly from Korea are of great quality and often come with various special benefits. Among them, the most popular are special photo cards.

Make sure to check if the website offers shipping to your country directly from Korea.

 

2. Make sure to verify that the products are authentic

This is actually the most important factor to consider.

You must choose a website that can guarantee the sale of authentic products.

 

3. Check if the sales are reflected in Hanteo/Circle Chart

For albums, you should check if the sales are reflected in Hanteo and Circle (Gaon) charts.

Hanteo and Circle (Gaon) charts are well-known music awards in Korea. If you want to support your favorite artists and reward their hard work and efforts, make sure that the sales of the album are reflected in Hanteo and (Circle) Gaon charts.

 

4. Shipping service and price

There are different types of overseas shipping services available. Some offer free shipping, while others provide various shipping options.

Overseas shipping can be more expensive than domestic shipping, which is why many people prefer free shipping.

But have you compared the prices? You can check which one is cheaper by comparing the final payment price.

 

5. Find discount codes

Some stores offer events using discount codes. You can find the discount codes of these stores on social media, etc.

Although the amount may be small, using a discount code can allow you to purchase items at a cheaper price.

For those who find it difficult to search for these stores, here are a few examples:

hellolive SHOP

hellolive is a platform for online concerts and fan meetings. They guarantee a 1000% refund for non-authentic items. They provide the products at a very reasonable price. I highly recommend this.
