Singer-actor Park Jihoon is set to gift fans another unforgettable memory as his dazzling run across films and K-Dramas continues.

On June 2, global fandom platform WithMU announced via its official social accounts that the pop-up store for the TVING original series The Legend of Kitchen Soldier (hereafter ‘Kitchen Soldier’) is opening.

The post featured witty in-universe copy that amps up curiosity and hype: "Welcome, warrior. The pop-up store quest will open shortly."

Fans flooded the comments with fiery reactions like "I was dying waiting for this pop-up," "The pop-up nightmare begins again," "Already hyped for the merch lineup," and "Sorry, wallet—I failed to protect you."

Meanwhile, the military cookhouse fantasy drama ‘Kitchen Soldier’ thrillingly follows Private Kang Seong-jae (played by Park Jihoon), who trades a rifle for a chef’s knife and an ammo belt for an apron to become a legendary cook. The series airs every Monday and Tuesday at 8:50 p.m. KST on TVING and tvN.
