Last updated: 2026-10-15 (October week 4, 10/19~10/25)
7 new pop-ups open in Seoul and nearby this week (10/19~10/25).
As many as 29 end within the week.
Of the 135 in total, 30 are character, toy or family pop-ups that work for kids (🧸).
Honestly, among the new openings, the only one for kids is Blokees X Hobbysoul at Shinsegae Gangnam.
Still, the Shin-chan exhibition, Kaerik Kaerik Change! and Goyang’s Blooming Planet opened on 10/16~10/17.
I picked just three for kids to start with.
✅ Kid-friendly picks this week
1. Crayon Shin-chan Exhibition: Time-Space Adventure
2026.10.17 (Sat)~2027.01.24 (Sun) · 9-29 Yeonmujang 5-gil, Seongdong-gu, Seoul
An interactive exhibition set up as if the Tteokip Village Defense Squad (the Kasukabe Defense Group) got swept into time and space.
It just opened on 10/17 (Sat) and runs until next January, so there’s no rush.
One catch: I couldn’t find the ticket price or where to book in the official notices yet.
2. Blokees X Hobbysoul Pop-up Opens this week
2026.10.20 (Tue)~2026.11.03 (Tue) · Shinsegae Gangnam Central 1F Open Stage, 176 Sinbanpo-ro, Seocho-gu, Seoul
This is the only kids’ pop-up opening this week.
The official post announces Shinsegae Gangnam’s ‘Doogeun-Doogeun Character Festa’.
The lineup listed Shin-chan, Pokémon, Sanrio, Haikyu!! and Blokees.
The dates above are for the Blokees X Hobbysoul pop-up.
3. 2026 Goyang Flower Scent Festa: Blooming Planet Last week
2026.10.17 (Sat)~2026.10.25 (Sun) · Starfield Goyang 1F East Outdoor Plaza, 1955 Goyang-daero, Deogyang-gu, Goyang-si, Gyeonggi-do
It’s an outdoor flower-experience pop-up, so it works as a family outing.
The news article says there’s a photo zone and one-day flower arranging.
10/25 (Sun) is the last day, so this weekend is the end.
🧸 = character, toy and family pop-ups that work for kids (anime, game and idol fan events are left out).
Seongsu: 41 pop-ups in October
Seongsu has the most, with 41. 8 are marked 🧸.

FAQ
Where should I take kids among Seoul’s pop-ups in October week 4?
I marked 30 of the 135 character, toy and family pop-ups with 🧸.
If I had to pick for this week: Seongsu’s Crayon Shin-chan exhibition (2026.10.17 (Sat)~2027.01.24 (Sun)), the Blokees X Hobbysoul pop-up at Shinsegae Gangnam that opens 10/20, and Goyang’s Flower Scent Festa Blooming Planet, which ends 10/25.
How many pop-ups are in Seongsu in October?
41.
The ones for kids are 7: the Crayon Shin-chan exhibition, Detective Snoopy (UNICEF Garden at Seoul Forest), the Toy Story pop-up, Madeby X Mamma Hamster Store, Dragon Ball Heroes Rise Seoul, Play in the Box and Rilliibeu X Good Luck Trolls.
Where are most of the October pop-ups in Hongdae?
12 of the 25 in Hongdae·Yeonnam are inside AK Plaza Hongdae (188 Yanghwa-ro, Mapo-gu, Seoul).

The 3 Animate Cafe Jamsil (240 Olympic-ro) ones are for anime and game fans.
The opening and ending counts only include places whose dates I confirmed through official notices. ‘Dates need official confirmation’ in the Dates column means I couldn’t find the dates in an official notice, and those are left out of the ending-this-week list too.
Based on each official Instagram and shopping mall notice as of 10/15. Dates can change.
