SEOUL, May 11 (AJP) -K-pop band NCT will open a large-scale pop-up event in Seoul starting Friday as part of the group’s 10th anniversary project, SM Entertainment said Monday.

The event, titled "NCT 10TH Anniversary [NCT 2026] pop up : Neo Ground," will run from May 15 to 23 at Pi Factory in Seoul’s Gwangjin District, a district well-known as a hipster area frequented by tourists from around the world. 

Debuting in 2016, NCT has expanded into multiple sub-units including NCT 127, NCT Dream, WayV and NCT Wish, building one of K-pop’s largest multi-unit group brands with activities spanning global tours, album releases, and fan-focused content.

According to SM Entertainment, the pop-up space will be themed around a futuristic sports concept and feature exhibitions, interactive programs, photo zones, and exclusive merchandise tied to NCT’s 10th anniversary campaign.
