K-Pop takeover and card trading event coming to Pembroke Pines food hall
If you’re into collecting and trading K-pop merchandise, you have an opportunity coming up to be in like-minded company in Pembroke Pines.
The city’s hallmark Asian cuisine market, Baoshi Food Hall + Bar, is inviting you to a card trading and decorating night courtesy of South Florida’s premier K-Pop variety store, K-Pop Kastle.
The Jan. 3 “2026 welcome takeover” — which will be hosted at the food hall from 6 to 9 p.m. — promises fun for collectors of “pocas,” photocards of Korean pop idols and groups such as Blackpink, BTS and Twice.
Attendees are encouraged to bring their favorite decks to swap and stickers to decorate toploaders and sleeves while enjoying a live DJ, specialty drinks or fare from Baoshi’s five vendors, which sell food and beverages including milk tea, sushi rolls and dumplings.
Davie’s K-Pop Kastle will co-host the event alongside the food hall to usher in the new year and introduce its signature trading nights.
Open since November 2022, the pop culture variety store considers itself the only comprehensive storefront in South Florida dedicated to selling all things Korean merchandise.
In addition to “pocas,” K-Pop Kastle also sells “SMinis,” a compact digital album format often displayed from a keychain, as well as CDs of famous K-Pop groups.
