This book store has a great variety of kpop albums! From old releases to recent comebacks, as well as Weverse exclusive albums. It was very quiet when I went in mid day on a Saturday which was also very nice since it isn't very large of a store. The man behind the counter was also friendly. My only drawback was that the majority of the albums had no price tags on them. The price of the albums themselves were definitely cheaper than that you would find at a kpop store in Manhattan though. However, you could probably find them online in general for cheaper (as long as you can find them and they aren't sold out). Definitely worth checking out if you are in Flushing

This review is strictly on the service prior to picking up the book that is being held for me. I called in to see if they had a specific book. They found it quickly and reserved it for me as my mom who lives quite far away will have to pick it up. I didn't feel rushed off the phone even when I spoke in Konglish. The value of the book was FAR MORE than responsible for it being Korean and not the translated version. I haven't been in the store physically, but can't wait to when I visit parents again.

Location is a bit odd. It's on a block I haven't seen many people walk on. So it's not crowded at all. When I went in I was the only customer there. They have a very small selection of K-pop albums. Unfortunately most of them didn't have price tags already attached to them so I had to ask the cashier to ring it up for me. I only saw two albums w/ tags. I wished they added them so I don't have to constantly ask for it / bother the cashier. I went here bc I saw reviews that this place was pretty cheap compared to other K-pop related stores. However the album I got was $28.94. And after tax - $31.51 Which is almost narrowly the same price as my usual K-pop store I frequent. But I bought it anyways. I also rang up aespa's jewel case & it came up to around $27. So I ended up buying only one album. When I opened it, the spine on the bottom of the photo book was a lil f***** up. And I noticed two - ish pages a bit teeny tiny detached. I am quite nit picky abt things like this so I was bit disappointed. However, i did clumsily drop the album after purchasing it and banged it slightly while it was in my bag. I think there was supposed to be a poster that came with the album but I never got it There was also a shelf I almost missed that was in front of the cashier on the side. In the back they have a bunch of books all in Korean.Btw hours are 10AM - 6PM Monday through Friday Closes pretty early imo They are also closed on the weekend and holidays unfortunately I came on a weekend not knowing they were closed so just a heads up ! Bc the hours on Apple maps is wrong

Really nice selection of kpop albums :) While it is small they do have a lot from most of the big/popular groups. They even had some weverse albums as well. They’re pretty up to date with new releases which is nice! The store owner is very kind.

I live in Ohio and the closest I've been to Queens NYC was my trip to Manhattan last year. I recently visited a half price books store near my university and found this book. Once taking it home and opening it I found an old receipt from this store. I just thought it was cool that books can travel so far and decided to share some of it's story.

This places has literally every album any group everything you could ask for! The neighbor hood is also amazing and the food there is also amazing(it is in korea town). There is keychains as well as season greetings. There are also korean books as well in the store. I recommend going to this place if you want to buy more kpop albums or different groups and/or just a relaxed day off!

So glad I have this place to go to in flushing! Got all these albums for such a reasonable price, I wish I bought more. Also got free photocards and posters! Def my fave store to go to for K-pop albums in NYC.

Great selection for a small kpop store !! I’d argue bandi books is a better choice than the Manhattan bookstores cos not everyone has the means to go there for an album + this store gives you free PCs with your purchase (idk if this applies to all albums, but they give pobs— like Apple Music.) prices are 20-30 on average, but they usually have discounts alr applied to the album. They have a lot of groups, and older albums for those groups (ex. They pretty much have every skz, nct, and txt album in stock) and a lot of new releases (ex- nmixx, stayc, ive) + owner is nice and accommodating
