HMV, one of the known retailers in the UK, has brought back their K-pop merchandise after being from almost zero for months. HMV was in the brink of closure but now European fans get to enjoy their cravings.
The music shelves are now alive with the different Korean artists which ranges from BAP to TVXQ, though it seems their artist choice could do with a bit of expansion as there is a large amount BIGBANG albums.
However, the prices of the albums are a little bit more high than online stores though, when you order online you have to pay for shipping charges, wait at least two weeks to a month and plus boxes are not damaged. The prices range from £24.99 above.
However, the selection of the music here is still a bit smaller compared to the wide selection of the albums online such as Yesasia. But because the section has already been restored, this only means that K-pop is highly known in the UK and stores have already recognized the demand.
If you have time the address of the HMV is 150 Oxford St, London, Greater London W1D 1DJ. Hopefully, there will be more additions to the section soon.
