Seongsu's biggest popup week of spring: K-beauty debuts, 2aN's "Love, Rosie," Nespresso Vertuo House (closes Apr 20), Ben & Jerry's × Glounique, and Gentle Monster × Disney × F1. Dates, directions, and tips for April 20–27, 2026.
Spring is peak popup season in Seongsu — and the April 20–27 week is packed. Fifteen popups are running across the district this week, from brand-new K-beauty drops (2aN's 'Love, Rosie', NDP, Torriden) to time-limited food experiences (Ben & Jerry's × Glounique, Nespresso Vertuo House closing Monday), to luxury fashion collabs (Gentle Monster × Disney × F1 Circuit Collection). Four popups close by Monday April 27 — plan accordingly.
We've organized this week's Seongsu popup stores into four zones — Last Chance, Beauty, Fashion, and Food & Culture — so you can hit multiple spots in a single afternoon. Every popup on this list is free to enter, walkable from Seongsu Station, and perfect for pairing with a coffee stop along Yeonmujang-gil.
Four major popups wrap up during this window. If you only have one afternoon in Seongsu, start here.
Nespresso's two-story experiential popup is the most photographed coffee space in Seongsu right now, and it ends Monday. The theme — 'Make an Ordinary Day Richer with Double Espresso' — unfolds across three first-floor rooms with ASMR coffee soundscapes, a personalized taste test with instant photo printouts, and a hidden media-art room. Upstairs, three complimentary drinks await including the viral popcorn-cream espresso. If you can only visit one popup this week, make it this one before it closes.
Free entry. Open 11 AM–8 PM. Seongsu Station Exit 3, 5-min walk along Yeonmujang-gil.
