KT&G Imagination Planet pop-up in Seongsu: spin-the-wheel merch and makgeolli

If you're clustering pop-ups around Seongsu on a Seoul trip, KT&G's Imagination Planet (상상플래닛) pop-up — branded as Planet Market — is a quick, low-pressure stop that rewards you for showing up. It's a lifestyle brand pop-up anchored to KT&G, a Korean conglomerate, so the vibe is polished but not hyper-niche; the draw is the on-site experience and limited goods, not a fandom moment.

The location is Seongsu, right next to Current (커렌트), a design complex that often hosts art and fashion pop-ups. You can hit both in one afternoon. Walk-ins are welcome — no reservation needed — and the space itself is standard pop-up layout: compact, browsable, designed for a 20–30 minute visit.

Here's what actually happens inside: you get a spin-the-wheel raffle on purchase. The blogger hit first prize and walked away with Cheong Kwan Jang Everytime (a ginseng supplement), plus a coffee coupon. There's no mention of a purchase minimum for the wheel, so it sounds like you spin regardless. The real draw, though, is the makgeolli selection — specifically Jae 3rd Brewery (제3양조), which the blogger rated as genuinely delicious and worth buying again, even at a higher price point. This is a tasting opportunity most Seoul pop-ups don't offer; if you're into Korean alcohol, this alone justifies the visit.

There's also a Starbucks coupon promotion if you spend a certain amount in-store (the source doesn't specify the threshold, so ask on arrival). A carrier exhibition was running adjacent to the pop-up during this visit, though it's unclear if that's permanent or rotating.

Practical note: the blogger visited July 15, 2022, so confirm current running dates before heading over. The space is designed for walk-in traffic, and it's positioned as a leisure stop rather than a must-cop destination — good for a browsing break between other Seongsu spots, not a pilgrimage. Bring cash or card for the makgeolli if that's your target; the raffle and coffee coupon sweeten the visit but aren't the main event.

After the pop-up, the blogger headed to Roca Doodle (롸카두들), a nearby burger spot, to grab lunch. That's the rhythm of Seongsu — pop-up, café or food, repeat.
