SEVENTEEN's Shibuya Pop-Up Adds 'Puzzle SEVENTEEN' Booth With Lucky Draw Stickers

BODY: CARAT have a new reason to line up in Shibuya this Golden Week. DRIMAGE JAPAN has set up a limited-time "Puzzle SEVENTEEN" booth inside the SEVENTEEN 2026 Japan Fanmeeting "YAKUSOKU" POP-UP STORE Tokyo, running from May 3 through May 6, 2026.

The booth promotes the official mobile puzzle game tied to the 13-member K-pop group, letting fans try the game on-site and pick up promotional materials. The headline activity is a lucky draw (抽選会) where visitors who participate can win character stickers featuring the SEVENTEEN members rendered in the game's chibi-style art.

The pop-up is timed to the group's "YAKUSOKU" (約束, "Promise") fanmeeting tour, one of the larger K-pop touring events to hit Japan this spring. Shibuya is the natural choice of venue: the district has effectively become Tokyo's default staging ground for K-pop merch drops, with pop-ups frequently rotating through the area around Miyashita Park and Shibuya Parco.

Lucky draw mechanics are standard practice at Japanese game and idol pop-ups — typically a single pull per qualifying purchase or activity, with prize tiers from common stickers up to limited acrylic stands. Expect early-day queues if the sticker designs include all 13 members as separate pulls.

The insider take

If you're in Tokyo this weekend, treat the Shibuya pop-up like any other limited K-pop event: arrive before opening, bring cash for fast checkout, and assume same-day numbered tickets (整理券) may be distributed if the line gets long. Golden Week traffic in Shibuya is brutal even without a SEVENTEEN event in town, so factor in Yamanote Line congestion. The "Puzzle SEVENTEEN" tie-in is a smart soft-launch play — Korean idol mobile games rarely break out in Japan without exactly this kind of fan-event scaffolding behind them.
