Lotte Department Store’s main Busan outlet will open “FANDOM SPACE” on the 30th, the retailer’s first floor dedicated to intellectual property goods. The company expects to expand the format to other stores nationwide, including its Jamsil outlet in Seoul.
The 1,785-square-meter (540-pyeong) space on the first basement level brings together anime, games, character goods and figures. Tenants include animate, a Japanese retailer that sells character merchandise and books tied to anime titles.
Also moving in are Bandai Gashapon Official Shop and Ichiban Kuji, which offer capsule toys based on popular IP, along with SAN-X, a leading Japanese character brand. Best Hobby, a premium hobby store carrying products from major Japanese figure makers such as Kotobukiya and Good Smile Company, will open as well.
