The Hyundai Global is a unique export platform of Hyundai Department Store that operates exclusive K-brand pop-up stores in prestigious overseas retail markets and has entered its second year of operation this year.

The pop-up store held at the Parco Shibuya in Tokyo from May last year for about two months achieved sales of approximately 3 billion won, reaching 150% of its sales target. This ranks as the highest revenue level among all pop-up stores held at Parco historically.

This year, the number of brands participating in the pop-up store has increased to a total of 21, nearly doubling from the previous year, and the number of locations operated by the The Hyundai Global has expanded from one to three.

As Hyundai Department Store has successfully established The Hyundai Global in Japan, it plans to finalize additional operational strategies for The Hyundai Global in Japan as early as the first half of this year. It will also pursue expansion into countries such as Taiwan, Thailand, and Hong Kong.
