Lineups for opening day of LINE FRIENDS BT21 pop-up shop in Toronto were out of control (VIDEOS)
Fans came out in droves to Scarborough Town Centre Friday morning, to attend the opening day of the highly-anticipated pop-up for BT21 — a popular collaboration between K-pop superstars BTS and LINE FRIENDS.
BT21 lovers lined up early in the morning, with throngs of customers in lines that stretched and weaved through the mall.
While shoppers weren’t allowed into the pop-up shop until 10 am, the official line (yes, there was an official one) began at 6 am, and the first 700 customers received a free BT21 poster.
Similar pop-ups in New York City and Hollywood sold-out during their launches, and now BT21 fans in Toronto will have the opportunity to shop a wide range of BT21 merch, including limited edition BT21 Toronto apparel, only available at the local shop, which is open until December 7 (or while quantities last).
In case you didn’t make it to the opening of the pop-up, here’s how crazy the lineups were:
