Netmarble's monster-taming action role-playing game "Mon-K: Star Dive" will hold its first pop-up store at Starfield Hanam.

Netmarble announced Monday that "Mon-K: Star Dive" will open its first pop-up store in collaboration with Starfield, beginning Wednesday.

The pop-up store will run June 3-7 at the Central Atrium on the first floor of Starfield Hanam. Visitors can enjoy interactive experiences — including "Monsterling Touch! Catch!," "Today's Monsterling" and a Mon-K popularity vote — and exchange coins earned through the activities for prizes.

Official "Mon-K: Star Dive" merchandise will also be on sale, with new items — including an SD acrylic diorama and an LD acrylic stand — making their debut at the event. In addition, the "Meow Cushion," which proved popular at global events such as G-Star and Tokyo Game Show, will also be available.

A dedicated demo zone where visitors can play "Mon-K: Star Dive" will also be set up on site. Attendees can experience the game's action combat through the handheld gaming PC ROG Ally.

"As this is the first pop-up store since the launch of 'Mon-K: Star Dive,' we have prepared a wide range of interactive content and official merchandise for fans to enjoy," a Netmarble official said. "We hope many users will visit and create special memories."

Meanwhile, "Mon-K: Star Dive" is the follow-up to "Monster Taming," which launched in 2013 and helped popularize the mobile collectible RPG genre. The game features high-quality characters and story presentation built on Unreal Engine 5, a "Monster Collecting" system that lets players capture, collect and combine monsters, and fast-paced real-time tag combat with a three-member party.
