Not travelling to Korea anytime soon? Not to worry—Market Blue is bringing Korea to you with their first ever K-Market Festival, a highly anticipated event that promises the most authentic Korean market and festival experience right here in Singapore! Look forward to a slew of popular and cult-favourite Korean brands who’ve flown in just for the event and will be setting up shop at the festival from now till 23rd April 2023!
Market Blue has teamed up with @goowolmarket, a popular lifestyle market and bazaar from Korea to bring you the real K-market experience. Look forward to some 30 vendors offering everything from fashion, beauty, living, skincare, F&B, and even kids items! We dropped by the K-Festival on its opening day and were pleasantly surprised to see many Koreans visiting the event as well—that’s how you know it’s the real deal!
We definitely can’t miss out on Korean beauty, and the ever-popular Ksisters are also in attendance at the festival, bringing you their own Jung Beauty products, as well as a curated range of popular K-beauty brands like dasique, OHIOHOO, Luvum and more. You’ll also get to enjoy 10% off at the pop-up, along with a free sure-win chance at the gachapon and caricature with minimum spend! You can also get a free skin analysis, no spending required!
While Market Blue’s regular restaurant fare won’t be available, you can still get DONAS8’s Korean mochi donuts, soft serve and their newly-launched Korean Twisted Donuts (kkwabaegi)! The new twisted donuts are priced from $3.90 and come in flavours like Tiramisu, Lotus Biscoff, Strawberry, Oreo and more. You can also get street-style snacks like Cup Tteokbokki ($3.90), Hotteok ($3.90), Corn Dog ($5.90), Bulgogi Pizza ($6.90), Chicken Cupbop ($6.90) and Soy Sauce Fried Chicken ($6.90) just to name a few.
Some Korean indie fashion brands to look forward to include DeMaille, Orae, Mansongi, Scallop, DearMillim, dear dilly, AIRFISH, Mint Tulip and more, offering gorgeous one-of-a-kind clothing items, printed bathrobes, kids and baby clothes, knitwear, athleisure and even undergarments! You can also get food items like granola, curry, rice cakes and more!
Other lifestyle labels include LABODE, RUSTIQUE, ABODE, YARNNAKARN, Chueok Fragrances, Petite Mamang, MZUU, Dashing Diva and more! Find items like handmade jewellery, handmade dishware, artisanal soap, candles, fragrances, bags, and even BTS toothbrushes and water bottles!
So, is the K-Market Festival worth a visit? We’d say definitely yes, especially if you’re looking to have a taste of a real Korean-style market, plus there’s just so many things to see, buy and eat—many of which you won’t find anywhere else in Singapore! If you’re planning on heading down, be prepared for a little bit of a squeeze, as the stalls are pretty tightly packed together in a limited space. Make sure to check with the vendors themselves as many of them are also having special discounts, promotions and freebies! The entire festival is taking place at Market Blue’s space, as well as at B for Bagel next door.
