K-pop Route in Barcelona: Where to Buy the Best Korean Clothing, Music, and Food

1. Momo Store

   

   Many of the shops where you can buy records and clothes are located between Paseo Sant Joan and Plaza Tetuan, an area already known for its strong Asian presence on every street. That’s why this shop is a must for K-pop fans. Open for ten years now, it has a bit of everything: official photocards, collections from favourite groups, posters, group T-shirts, clothes worn in Korea, vinyl, CDs and much more. Prices aren’t cheap, but everything is official, which guarantees authenticity and peace of mind.

   C/ Ausiàs Marc, 56
2. The Seoul Store

   

   Here you’ll also find products similar to those in the previous shop. There are also Pop Mart figurines, like the famous Labubu, which, although it comes from China, is often carried by Lisa from the K-pop Black Pink group, and her fans copy her.

   Address

   Ronda de Sant Pere, 60
3. Hallyu Outfit

   

   Accessories, official merchandise, K-pop albums and items like stationery all come together in this shop, which also has an online version so you can check out the products before buying or order directly from home.

   Address

   C/ Casp, 65
4. Seoul Korean Cosmetics

   

   K-pop girl and boy bands have a distinctive look and beauty is highly valued. Koreans take care of their skin and appearance from a young age, so Korean cosmetics shops are also favourites among fans. At Seoul Korean Cosmetics you’ll find a selection of Korean brands representing the best of K-Beauty. Brands that combine tradition and innovation to offer effective, respectful and sustainable formulas.

6. Coma Cafetería Coreana

   

   Fashion, beauty and food too. K-pop fans know where to eat like in Korea and what their favourite groups tend to prefer. At Coma you’ll find everything from bingsu (Korean dessert with ice, toppings, ice cream, rice cake, nuts) to corn dog (Frankfurt sausage on a wooden stick, coated in a thick layer of cornmeal batter and deep-fried) or the Dubai Chewy Ball (a sweet filled with crispy kadayif noodles and homemade pistachio paste, with a soft, thin and chewy outer layer).

   Address

   Pg. de Sant Gervasi, 57
7. House of Corndogs

   

   This is the temple of the Korn Dog in Barcelona. You’ll find different types with fried batter, and inside, as well as Frankfurt sausage, there are options with mozzarella cheese, potatoes and more. Two advantages: this food on a stick is easy to eat on the go, and they offer delivery service to your home.

   Address

   C/ Comte d’Urgell, 21
8. Comunidad K-pop

   

   The phenomenon is also spreading through the streets and at parties. To help K-pop fans connect, they create a community and often organise meet-ups and parties. Some of these are promoted in the shops mentioned above.

   Also, if you pass by Portal de l'Àngel or the Catedral de Barcelona on a Saturday afternoon, you’ll see groups of young people dancing various choreographies to K-pop music. This is known as K-pop dance cover, because the groups perform the same routines as their favourite artists in the street, dressed in similar outfits. They usually record videos to upload to their TikTok accounts.

   Some of the most popular cafés, restaurants and bars in Barcelona are becoming increasingly well-known and frequented by the K-pop community because group members have visited them during their concerts in Barcelona. For example, Churrería Manuel San Román went viral after Jisoo from Blackpink visited to try the churros and posted a video on her social media. Since then, the place has been packed and is now a stop on the K-pop route.
