Poor packaging, missing parts

Box of badges arrived with half of them missing and packaging torn. Some badges rattled loose in box?obvious issue during packaging. When contacting support, was told items were ?probably misplaced? and they might refund later. Felt shrugged off and ignored. Not acceptable for a fan purchase.

Favorite purchase

The hoodie is comfy, print pops and material is breathable. Extras like sticker pack made it feel thoughtful. Quick reply from support on color question.

Loved the packaging and extras

Received my BTS-themed journal faster than expected. It was packaged with care, and they even included a few cute stickers as a freebie. The journal itself feels high-quality?pages don?t bleed ink, and the print is sharp. A nice bonus was the handwritten thank-you card. Small touches like this make it feel personal. Will definitely browse their site again.

Great quality, smooth delivery

Ordered a Twice hoodie and BTS keychain. Both items arrived on time and were exactly as pictured. The hoodie fabric is soft but durable, and keychain has a sturdy clasp. Packaging included some cute extra stickers as a bonus, which was a nice surprise. Customer service was responsive to my email inquiries. I feel confident buying from HelloSouthKorea again.

Nice customer support

Had a tiny concern about customs fees?support agent kindly explained and helped. Package delivered in good shape and merch looks exactly like the online photos.


img 2/5.0 05, Jun 2025

Not as pictured

The hoodie looked brighter online. In person, the color felt dull and fabric thinner than I expected. Not completely bad, but felt misled by the product photos.

K?drama fans will love this

Found a cute plushie from a recent K?drama I watched and couldn?t resist. It?s soft, squishy, and bigger than I imagined. Only minor issue?tag was printed slightly crooked, but doesn?t affect use. The order came earlier than expected, and I appreciated the updates. Great shop for Korean drama merchandise fans.


img 4/5.0 13, May 2025

Worth it

Paid for a pin pack and it?s better quality than expected. Some designs are intricate and well-made. Minor crease in packaging but no damage to merch.


img 4/5.0 22, Apr 2025

Nice store for unique merch

Ordered a custom acrylic standee and it turned out beautiful. The colors are vibrant and it stands well on my desk. Just note that if you're outside Asia, shipping may take a little longer than listed. It?s still worth it for fans wanting non-generic K-pop items that are hard to find elsewhere.


img 2/5.0 08, Apr 2025

Hoodie sizes inconsistent

Purchased size M hoodie per size chart, but it fits like a tight small?shoulder seams sit oddly, and sleeves are shorter than expected. Measurement tool on site seems inaccurate. Customer support acknowledged sizing issue but couldn?t exchange due to low stock. Still stuck with a hoodie I can?t comfortably wear. Avoid ordering wearables til sizing improved.


img 4/5.0 23, Mar 2025

Pleasant shopping experience

Bought a Twice lightstick replica and a phone case. The lightstick looks very close to the official one, though slightly lighter in weight. Phone case fits perfectly and the print quality is sharp. Shipping took a little longer than expected but arrived safely. Customer support answered my questions about tracking promptly. Overall, I?m happy with my purchase and would recommend the site for fans seeking unique items.


img 1/5.0 11, Mar 2025

Too long to arrive

Shipping was beyond slow. Waited over a month for a simple enamel pin. Not worth the stress for a small item like this.


img 5/5.0 06, Mar 2025

Fan-approved quality

Bought a BTS sweatshirt and was impressed by the print clarity and thickness. Feels genuine and comfy. Customer service responded quickly to my sizing question.


img 1/5.0 14, Feb 2025

Overcharged fees and no notice

Complete surprise customs charges landed at my door with no heads?up during checkout. Ended up paying extra costs that doubled total price. Customer service admitted they don?t include duties in listing and gave generic apology. Felt like bait?and?switch. Would?ve passed if fees were transparent. Poor planning and lack of upfront cost transparency made it stressful and expensive.


img 5/5.0 08, Feb 2025

First time ordering?very happy

This was my first time buying from HelloSouthKorea and it went smoothly. The photo card album I ordered is high quality and feels sturdy. What really impressed me was the secure packaging?bubble wrap, extra sealing, and care taken to prevent any bending. Everything arrived in perfect condition. Will definitely shop here again.


img 5/5.0 25, Jan 2025

Brilliant hoodie

Happy with the hoodie fabric?thick yet breathable. Colors are bright, and sizing is accurate. Shipment took nine days to Canada, still impressive speed.


img 5/5.0 16, Jan 2025

Fantastic merch for K-pop fans

HelloSouthKorea is my go-to for fan merch. My recent order of a Stray Kids necklace and enamel pins arrived quickly and well packaged. The necklace?s clasp is sturdy, and the pins have a nice weight to them, unlike cheaper alternatives. Loved the personal thank-you note included with the package. The website is easy to navigate, and checkout was smooth. This is a reliable site I recommend to anyone looking for official, good quality Korean pop merchandise.


img 2/5.0 04, Jan 2025

Customer support slow

Had a simple question about sizing, and it took four days to get a vague response. Ended up guessing and got the wrong size.


img 2/5.0 21, Dec 2024

Didn?t match description

Description said ?oversized hoodie? but it fit tight around the chest. Either the cut is weird or they mislabeled it. Meh.


img 2/5.0 09, Nov 2024

Sticker set arrived damaged

Ordered a sticker bundle and received one set crushed in packaging. Packaging didn?t offer enough protection?bubble wrap missing. Support apologized but offered no replacement or refund. Felt ignored after initial reply. If stickers are fragile, better care should be taken. Quality was fine, but not worth the risk or poor follow?through on resolution.


img 5/5.0 18, Oct 2024

Cute tote bag

The tote is adorable, sturdy stitching and vibrant. Handles seem durable. Ordered on a whim, but it?s become my go?to bag for errands. Shipping updates were helpful.


img 5/5.0 03, Oct 2024

Happy with both product and service

Bought a TXT tote and a matching pin set. Both items arrived safely in a cute bag, and I could tell care was taken with packaging. Everything looks just like the listing, and I got email updates throughout the process. It?s a nice store to order from if you want thoughtful customer care.


img 2/5.0 25, Sep 2024

Not a great tee

The T-shirt print started to crack after only two wears. Also, the stitching feels loose around the arms. Disapointed because the design is cool.


img 4/5.0 27, Aug 2024

Good experience overall

Ordered a Blackpink cap for my sister. It looks even better in real life?good stitching and clean embroidery. I was a bit confused during checkout since the promo code didn?t apply automatically, but support helped fix it quickly. Got the package within two weeks. Happy with the outcome and so was my sister.


img 4/5.0 09, Aug 2024

Happy with band tee

Band tee fits true to size, print is sharp. Slight odor at first but washed out easily. Overall very pleased and will order again.


img 5/5.0 29, Jul 2024

Highly satisfied with purchase and service

Ordered a BTS-themed tote bag and matching enamel pins. Both items arrived quickly and were packaged carefully to avoid damage. The tote bag material is sturdy and the print is crisp with no flaws. Pins have smooth edges and come with rubber backings, making them comfortable to wear. Throughout the process, I received timely emails updating me on my order?s status. I?m impressed with their customer service and product quality?definitely a trustworthy site for Korean pop merchandise.


img 4/5.0 04, Jul 2024

Good value and selection

Wide range of K?pop items available. Plush pin looked sturdy, and packaging was neat. Only minor delay with shipping but overall solid experience and pleased with purchase.


img 1/5.0 26, Jun 2024

Poor tracking updates

The tracking never updated after dispatch, and I was left guessing where the package was. It finally came after three weeks, but by then I had already given up on it arriving.


img 5/5.0 30, May 2024

Great site for gifts

Needed a last-minute gift for my friend who loves Stray Kids. Found a keychain and photo card set that looked perfect. Checkout was simple and support answered my shipping query quickly. Everything arrived in time and nicely wrapped. My friend loved it! A reliable site for gifting?I'll be back during the holidays.


img 5/5.0 16, May 2024

Comfy sweatshirt

The sweatshirt is soft and warm?perfect for cooler days. Design is clear and durable. Delivery was on time and packaging protected item well.


img 4/5.0 16, Apr 2024

Good products with minor shipping delays

Purchased a Stray Kids acrylic stand and a BTS pin set. Both are well-made and look authentic. The colors are bright and the stand holds up well. Shipping was delayed by about a week, but the package was carefully wrapped and intact. Customer service was polite and helpful when I checked on my order. A reliable place to shop for Korean pop fans.


img 2/5.0 15, Mar 2024

Print on tee faded

The logo on my t?shirt separated and started cracking after one wash. Ordered size L which fit, but fabric quality seems low. Followed washing instructions but still saw damage. Support offered 10% off next order?not helpful when they delivered a poor product. Quality control needs serious review.


img 1/5.0 19, Feb 2024

Product never came

It?s been 6 weeks and still no delivery. Support stopped replying after the second message. Total waste of money and time.


img 4/5.0 07, Feb 2024

Solid purchase

Ordered BTS phone case; fitting is snug and buttons accessible. Color matches listing. Might fade a bit after months, but so far impressed by quality.


img 1/5.0 19, Jan 2024

Phone case faded fast

Ordered a phone case with vibrant artwork, but colors faded noticeably within two weeks and edges started peeling. Materials feel cheap now. Reached out to support; got generic tips for cleaning, no offer for exchange. It?s a daily?use item, so durability was expected. Disappointed by the decline in quality so soon after purchase.


img 4/5.0 04, Jan 2024

Reliable service with nice extras

Bought a Twice photo card set and an acrylic stand. The packaging was neat and protected the items well. The stand looks exactly as pictured with bright colors, and the photo cards are high quality with a glossy finish. Delivery took a bit longer than estimated, but the tracking updates helped ease the wait. Customer support was responsive when I had questions about international shipping. It?s a trustworthy place for authentic K-pop merchandise. A little faster shipping would make it perfect.


img 5/5.0 28, Dec 2023

Excellent quality pin set

The BTS enamel pins I ordered are super detailed, solid, and well-made. They came attached to a sturdy card and were packed safely. Loved that the backs are rubber and not metal?they don't poke through fabric. Tracking worked fine, and customer service was responsive when I asked about shipping time to my area.


img 5/5.0 01, Dec 2023

Great fan gear

The enamel pin set is heavy-duty and sparkly. Includes rubber backs which is a plus. Shipping was timely and tracking was accurate. Happy to add it to my collection.


img 1/5.0 29, Nov 2023

Delayed refund nightmare

Returned a faulty enamel pin a month ago. Support confirmed receipt, but refund never processed despite reminders. Each response was ?we?re working on it.? Bank charges came for returned funds but no refund from them. Felt like I?m chasing them down instead of them helping me. No trust left if this keeps happening.


img 5/5.0 05, Nov 2023

Loved everything about this purchase

The BTS hoodie and matching stickers I bought are excellent quality. Hoodie fabric is thick yet soft, and the print has remained vibrant after washing. Stickers have a glossy finish and stick well to different surfaces. Packaging was impressive ? everything was bubble-wrapped and secured. Shipping was fast and communication from support was clear and friendly. This was a great shopping experience, and I?ll definitely return for future orders.


img 2/5.0 19, Oct 2023

Broken keyring upon arrival

A keyring arrived cracked and bent?the metal loop snapped within days of light use. Packaging looked standard but insufficient for metal items. Support suggested I could buy replacement parts, not replace item. Felt like no real accountability. The design was nice, but build and after?sales care fell flat. Not the experience I hoped for.


img 4/5.0 06, Oct 2023

Good, just room for improvement

Bought a Twice hoodie and love the feel of it?super soft inside and fits nicely. The design stands out, too. My only gripe is the delivery time was a bit off by 3?4 days, and the tracking didn?t update accurately. Still, the product quality made up for the wait. Would still recommend for K?pop fans.


img 1/5.0 30, Sep 2023

Late and wrinkled

Took 25 days to arrive and came completely wrinkled with no protective layer. Looks like it had been tossed in a bag. Wouldn?t order again.


img 4/5.0 10, Sep 2023

Reliable service

Bought custom Spotify-code board and it looks amazing framed. Slight delay during busy season, but worth waiting. Staff answered questions nicely.


img 4/5.0 05, Sep 2023

Great value, good quality

Purchased a Blackpink hoodie and a few stickers during a sale. The hoodie fits well and is comfortable, though the fabric feels thinner than I expected. Stickers are vibrant and stick well without peeling. Shipping was on the slower side, but items arrived intact and customer support kept me updated when I inquired. Good place for fans who want authentic items without breaking the bank. Would shop here again.


img 5/5.0 25, Aug 2023

Impressive quality and attention to detail

The BTS hoodie I purchased exceeded my expectations. The fabric is thick but breathable, perfect for cooler days, and the stitching is well done with no loose threads. The printed design looks vibrant and hasn?t faded after several washes. Shipping was surprisingly fast given the distance, and the package arrived in perfect condition. Customer service was friendly and answered my questions promptly. They also included a few small freebies, which was a nice touch. Overall, this was a hassle-free and satisfying purchase that I?d gladly repeat.


img 4/5.0 13, Aug 2023

Pleasant surprise

Didn?t expect such quick delivery to Europe! Unboxing was fun?extra sticker included. Hoodie fits well; slightly lighter fabric than thought but still great.


img 1/5.0 20, Jul 2023

Incorrect item sent

Ordered a BTS pin set but received a random anime keychain. Still waiting for the correct item. No apology from support either.


img 5/5.0 08, Jul 2023

Excellent fan merch

Love the BTS necklace?shiny and well?finished. Included a small gift bag. Shipping was smooth and arrived earlier than estimated.


img 4/5.0 15, Jun 2023

Solid BTS hoodie

Hoodie fits great and the fabric feels breathable yet warm. Loved the subtle logo on the sleeve. Minor downside?the drawstring came a bit frayed, but I trimmed it and it was fine. The item shipped on time and came with a tracking number that worked throughout the journey. All in all, a good buy.


img 5/5.0 02, Jun 2023

Smooth experience

Named shipping took a bit longer but customer support kept me updated. Hoodie arrived soft and fits just right?quality above expectations. Will check back for more merch.


img 4/5.0 24, May 2023

Nice variety and decent service

Found some unique K-drama plushies and band merchandise here. Items were nicely made and arrived without damage. The website is easy to use, but shipping took a little longer than I hoped. Customer support responded kindly to my questions. Overall a positive experience for fans wanting authentic Korean merchandise.


img 2/5.0 14, May 2023

Slow shipping during sales

Ordered during a promo, shipping estimate was 7?12 days, took nearly three weeks. Busy season excuse felt generic. Even tracking updates were few and vague. Was excited about merch but waited so long it arrived after the event. Next time I?d pay extra for faster shipping elsewhere.


img 1/5.0 23, Apr 2023

Misled by delivery estimate

Bought a K?pop poster, was shown a 10?day delivery estimate, but it took over a month. Tracking info stopped updating halfway, and attempts to contact support were met with slow responses. When package finally arrived, edges were slightly bent. While the print quality is acceptable, the hassle and unclarity on shipping timelines outweigh the final product. Hope they improve logistics and communication.


img 2/5.0 04, Apr 2023

Hoodie shrank

Followed the washing instructions exactly, but it still shrank noticeably. Now fits awkwardly short. Was hoping for better material.
