Went to the Monsta X pop-up and it was so fun!! They really put on a great event and the merch for sale is awesome! Great deals!!

HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE!!! i’ve been to the hello82 in san diego before and had amazing experiences with the staff. this time, i decided to go the LA location for the Plave pop up that started just today. I was deeply disappointed with the experience from the Los Angeles branch…. Not only did they horrifically underestimate sales, the “pop up” area was half heartedly made and almost sad to look at… The albums sold out within minutes of opening, which was disappointing as many people traveled to experience one of Plave’s first official events in the USA. You would expect there to be sufficient stock but unfortunately, that’s not the case. Besides that, the event space gave me flashbacks to the infamous Willy Wonka experience a while back that blew up online… It definitely seemed like there was a lack of care for the event. The “pop up” included a measly 6x6 inch box display to take photos with and a “life size” version that was basically falling apart with how poorly made it was. I’ve definitely seen better spaces and execution at the San Diego location so to see this in Los Angeles was disappointing. I don’t know if it’s the lack of care towards Plave or if your company was looking down on the group and its fan base, but this event looked like a group of kindergarteners made the props. Not only was this a poorly planned and hardly-executed event, it’s an opportunity for revenue that was indubitably missed. I fear I won’t be making the trip to LA for any pop ups in the near future until the company learns to respect the artists they work with and puts in a little more effort for their fan base as well.

We were in town for a Kpop concert and stopped in the following day. It is a cute place with fun experiences and socializing. My daughter found some great items.

such a fun place for kpop fans to spend time doing fun activities like album unboxings, photobooth time, pictures, and other fun creative programs. go to their pop-up for your fave group!

The place is amazing! The location looks like a recording studio. The Staff is their best feature! Friendly, helpful, knowledgeable and very accommodating! They treat you like family. You won't be disappointed coming here to get your K-Pop fix.

everytime i come chris always makes it worth it!! He’s so kind and always brings me good luck with my pulls! 💓

They always hold the best pop ups for ateez. Thank you guys so much for the signed albums. I hope you guys can get more artists to work with you. Thank you for being LA based. The inside is so nicely decorated and colorful.

It's always so much fun here. The best Kpop playground and amazing staff. When I go I live to stay and buy from the market, shop and enjoy popups

It's a nice pop up space, it seems to have a rotating artists that occupies the space. The outside of the building is pretty plain with one poster and then the entrance of the door. Inside the small hallway entrance is an open space area. For the TXT pop up entrance, there were a activity booths, a paper crown making session to the right, a small mini mart to the right and a Photo Booth area before the main line for the merch area. Although the line was pretty long to get, the line to get the merch was equally as long as that was the main attraction. There was also merchandise throughout the line for other artists as well, people mainly were trying to get the new TXT album that was at the end of the line. Tried asking if there was any light sticks but did not see any, so essentially waited in line for nothing it seems. Walked around to try and trade the random postcard but also no luck in getting a successful trade done. Overall, I think the pop up experience could be more enjoyable if the merch line was done differently and more like a store space, and I think if there was a map for the activities, so we know where everything is and what's for sale before entering the space or standing in line. Merch prices are on the pricer end, so be prepared to splurge a little.

I thought it was a good space for events here, especially related to Kpop. We came at a chill time period as the event was close to ending but the staff were very friendly still with greeting. I was happy getting a freebie postcard and was able to enjoy taking photos inside of the space with the photozones on the walls. Some things that stood out to me was seeing that they're strict on no outside food or drinks, and when I looked at the food and snacks sold, it was mostly Korean ramen or some ice cups, so the vibes here are meant to be very casual convenience-store hangout type. I also saw that the huge floor space also holds dances so that's pretty cool!! I found an album I really wanted to buy and thought it was cool to find exclusive merch from the store branch too from K-pop groups, especially Ateez. It seems like the albums and merch sold are recent (releases from same year or previous year) and aren't oversupplied with past old albums/merch like other kpop stores. All in all, I wouldn't mind visiting here again!!

Came here for an event pop-up near the end of its closing time and it was pretty empty and relaxeing. I know that there are limited time giveaways at the start/opening, but I didn't really care to get them as I had tickets already. I saw online how it was incredibly packed and busy at the start due to the giveaways. Walking in, we were handed a free exclusive signed postcard from a random artist of the lineup. Some fans were waiting to see who'd you get in hopes of trading. The store itself is big and I enjoy the high ceiling as it wasn't too stuffy inside. The kpop albums sold wasn't bad; some groups were more highlighted than others but it's worth noting that there were exclusive hello82 merch which was nice. I bought a signed album for a good price ($23) and felt content. I think this store is good for the kpop community and helps foster cool things. I enjoy watching the youtube channel too. Past cupsleeve events are sold here too and there's also korean convenience food snacks/ramen station sold and plenty of tables to eat at while listening to kpop. Overall I had a pleasant experience but I do wish there were actually more merch from the artists performing at the actual event that's being advertised!

We flew in this morning from Hawaii to see the Stray Kids concert and low and behold a kpop pop up (not Stay). We easily found street parking. Super cute, small, warehouse-y type place with several vendors. Purchased a few items.

we were only the 15th person in line for the babymonster pop up and they ran out of signed albums within the 12th person. Its a gimmick to get you there with very limited promotional items to just get you to buy something because you are there. do not recommend unless you are third in line. We asked a staff how many signed albums they usually get and she didn't respond which indicated they don't get much stock at all. So we came back the next day and my daughter is very disappointed because it they only say they have signed albums for u to come there and buy something else. I guess there is a reason why some places are pop up and not perm.

The service was great. The selection was limited, but he ace what I was looking for purchase. The value was pricey for my budget.

Unclear details about an event, It should be clearly stated if there's a daily limited amount of something. It is very inconsiderate and disorganized

Great service, friendly environment, and amazing staff! I always have a good time meeting new people

i love coming here to shop for kpop albums! they always have the cutest ateez and cupsleeve events! kpop heaven

One star for the Le Sserafim pop up event. Store opened at 11am and I arrived around 11:40am. There was a line for the exclusive Le Sserafim photocard that I started to wait in line for. When I got there, there was no indication of where the queue was or how the queue line was supposed to go. Staff members seemed to be equally confused as there was no crowd control and almost a free for all. After waiting in line for about 30 minutes, we were told that all photocards were already claimed for the day. There was no previous announcement of how many photo cards would be issued per day. Attempted to buy a t-shirt in the merch line was told half way that the size was sold out already. Does this store not anticipate people buying merch?? I do NOT live close to this location and the time to take my day off to drive through traffic and the gas just to get nothing was extremely unprofessional. I do not recommend this place and will go elsewhere for my kpop needs. I suggest you do the same.

This is a fun event center and store front that hosts a variety of events for kpop fans of all fandoms. Parking can be a little challenging but there are metered spots all along the main street.

Love it here. The album and merch selection is always good and they host events regularly which I love attending. I've met some of my favorite kpop idols through their in-store events. Would love the staff to have photocards too

a few months late, but manager Keeho was very friendly and gave me and my friends OUTSTANDING customer service. the other 5 workers there that day were also super cute and friendly. the manager said they're from some nugu group called p1harmony and they only have 5 monthly listeners on spotify, and are only working retail to make ends meet. please support them juseyo.

A little on the pricier side and they took unnecessarily long in checking my friend out. Not to mention they made me leave the store because I had my ESA in a bag. It was strange to me because I've never had this issue in other kpop stores and the employee didn't even sound sure in their response when I asked whether it was okay since my ESA wouldn't be leaving the bag whatsoever.

Dead AF! Came here for our second time to vendor. Once before they remodel and second time after their remodel. Place is nice inside. Safe for trading and to hang out and shop. I came early and while my daughter was setting up I started browsing. I was told I couldn't browse until they opened so I sat and waited. How do you tell shoppers you can't browse? I'm too old to shoplift. Anyways I complied. I watched as customers that were trading photo cards get asked to eat outside because they brought outside food in. They were told they had to buy food at their snack bar that has no food but only drinks, ice cream and one style of Korean snack. I would understand if they sold food but they don't. Those customer left. The place is dead and they dont seem to be very nice especially for a business that had no customers. Vendors should do their business elsewhere and trading PC's can be done somewhere busier. Totally disappointed. The staff at hello 82 should be more understanding if you want customers bc you probably lost a few today.

Physical location is great and I like that they're constantly improving and trying new things. Love coming here for events!

i come to hello82 a few times a month for various kpop related events or just shopping with friends. all the employees are super helpful and they always have a unique selection of items. i highly recommend especially if you're an ateez fan (they often have signed albums and unique merch that is not easy to find elsewhere)

I love coming to H82 every weekend when they host Ateez events, they have so many good offers and a good selection of Ateez merch. I've met so many friends through this store!

I've been here for merch and events a couple times now and I always enjoy it! Definitely give yourself time to figure out parking, but otherwise it's a great place for Kpop stand.

Amazing staff amazing customer service love hello82 thanks you for all your hard work

This was my first time at the hello82 store & it was very cool! I came for the ATEEZ after party. I love how decorated and big the space is and the vibe is very welcoming. The staff is super friendly and welcoming. I definitely plan to come back for more events in the future :)

This place is a really great space for kpop fans to gather and buy albums in LA! It gives us a place to trade and meet for photocards.

I love shopping at hello82! they have a wide variety of albums to choose from! and a lot of them come with exclusive preorder benefits! also, a good place to get trades in!

Wonderful place for K-pop fans to hang out! It's the first of the kind for us so it's very appreciated to have this space. They also have a good selection of both new and old K-pop albums
