National Park Mascots Bandari and Ggomi Bring About 150 Items to COEX Mall Pop-Up

The Korea National Park Service ran a pop-up for its characters "Bandari and Ggomi" at COEX Mall in Seoul from March 6 to 10, 2025. The pop-up sold about 150 character products featuring Bandari and Ggomi. News of the pop-up was reported on Feb. 28.

Bandari and Ggomi are characters of the Korea National Park Service. The service's other characters include the flagship species characters, which depict the long-tailed goral, marten, otter and others, and Seolaengchoni.

In the fall, the stage moved inside a national park. The service ran a pop-up at the national park shop in the Juwangsan visitor center from Oct. 3 to Nov. 2. It released a summit stone Bandari and a Bandari long umbrella as new products, and set up a Bandari photo zone.

Two pop-ups were held in one year, one at a city shopping mall and one at a national park visitor center. In spring, COEX Mall in Seoul showed a wide range of products. In the fall, the visitor center offered new products and a photo zone.
