Busan Metropolitan City, led by Acting Mayor Kim Kyung-duk, announced that it will showcase Busan-made craft products to domestic and international tourists and promote the excellence of Busan’s culture and the city’s unique appeal through the “Busan Pop-up Store,” which will be held on June 12 and 13.

The city plans to present craft products that embody Busan’s distinctive character and culture at the Busan Pop-up Store, allowing visitors to naturally experience the city’s sensibility and identity.

The Busan Metropolitan City Craft Cooperative Association (hereinafter the Association) will participate in the Busan Pop-up Store held at Busan Station Plaza, exhibiting and selling a variety of craft products to visitors from Korea and abroad who come to Busan.

In particular, the Association plans to introduce specially produced craft items that capture Busan’s unique charm, including souvenirs inspired by the city, hand fans featuring Hangul-inspired patterns, and accessories made from traditional Korean paper.

In addition, a special exhibition and sales event will be held at the permanent Busan Craft Exhibition and Sales Center located within BEXCO, targeting tourists staying in Busan before and after attending performances and events.

Through this special exhibition and sale, the Association aims to attract visitors with local craft products that are not easily encountered in everyday life. It also seeks to highlight a new side of Busan crafts by introducing practical and stylish products that reduce barriers to traditional crafts and can be naturally enjoyed in daily life.

Busan Metropolitan City expects that this special exhibition and sales event will serve as an opportunity to promote the excellence and competitiveness of Busan’s craft industry to domestic and international tourists, while also helping expand market opportunities for local artisans and stimulate consumer demand.

In particular, the city anticipates that distinctive craft products available only in Busan will provide visitors with memorable experiences of the city, encourage local cultural consumption, and contribute to the growth of the craft industry and the revitalization of the regional economy.

Kim Bong-cheol, Assistant Mayor of Digital Economy Office, said, “Through this special exhibition and sale, we will further expand the synergy between Busan’s cultural and tourism resources and its craft industry. We will continue to actively support local craft products so that they can become representative tourism content of Busan and establish themselves as a competitive cultural industry.”
