J-POP: J-POP ZIP heads to South Korea

A festival dedicated to Korean fans of J-culture is coming soon.

Organizer Universal Music LLC (Limited Liability Company) announced on August 27 that “J-POP ZIP 2025” will be held from September 19 to 21 at Space S50 in Seoul’s Seongdong district.

“J-POP ZIP” is an immersive cultural campaign that “zips” Japanese music and culture to share with Korean fans. The event will feature various booths: a J-pop listening zone, a SEGA gaming area, presentations of Japanese tourist destinations and regional products, a limited-edition “J-POP ZIP” section, and a food court.

This year’s edition will also include performances by leading J-pop artists and DJs mixing gaming, Vocaloid, and anime music, promising to heat up the atmosphere.

At last year’s edition, visitors enjoyed exhibits on major J-pop artists under Universal Music LLC, as well as gacha machines and merchandise booths. The event drew over 6,000 fans and generated significant buzz.

“J-POP ZIP” is organized by Universal Music LLC with support from SEGA/ATLUS, The Music, the Seoul offices of Shizuoka, Nagasaki, and Miyagi prefectures, Tokushima Prefecture/Eastar Jet, and the Korea-Japan Festival.
