Jusei Senryaku Osaka will bring the official pop-up store for the Netflix film KPop Demon Hunters to Shibuya, with the Japan event set for within the year. The store has been touring Taiwan since July 2025, when the Taipei stop opened at the Uni-President Department Store DREAM PLAZA, a large mixed-use facility that opened in 2025. A Taichung stop followed in August at Taichung Station, where a former station building with 120 years of history sits beside the modern station. The Kaohsiung event is currently running at the Uni-President Dream Mall Kaohsiung branch. That venue holds the tour's biggest draw: a giant air balloon of the character Derpy, designed by Jusei Senryaku We's Star and unveiled with group partner BCT. The company says the balloon deployment is an Asia first for the work, including for the production team and Netflix. Dates, venue name, admission method, and products for the Shibuya store are not announced.
The Japan leg comes from Jusei Senryaku Osaka, the Osaka-based company running the tour, whose representative director is Yoshihisa Otani and whose co-owner is Lin Weiren. The company describes the Taiwan run as its Asia tour, opened in July 2025 to mark one year of the film on Netflix.
- Taipei: held at Uni-President Department Store DREAM PLAZA, a mixed-use facility that opened in 2025, with character visuals displayed inside the venue.
- Taichung: held at Taichung Station, where character panels covered the exterior wall of the former station building beside the modern station.
- Kaohsiung: running at the Uni-President Dream Mall Kaohsiung branch, with a sales area for character goods alongside the Derpy balloon.
The Derpy balloon has a blue body and orange eyes. Jusei Senryaku's release credits the balloon to its design arm, We's Star, working with partner BCT on what it calls highly faithful three-dimensional staging. The company says the balloon drew attention from fans at the venue and from local media.
Nijimen notes that all published photos are from the Taiwan venues and do not show what the Shibuya store will contain. Jusei Senryaku says it plans to move past merchandise sales toward experiential pop-up stores planned with shops and large commercial facilities. Its group has offices in Osaka, Taipei, Seoul, Singapore, and Los Angeles, plus a general agency in Jakarta, and works with anime, manga, games, and VTuber IP.
