The Yu-Gi-Oh! popup on the 3F Dopamine Station at Yongsan I'Park Mall closes on Wednesday, October 21, 2026, after a seven-day run, according to popga and an opening-day report from GameToc. As of October 20 there is about one day left.

When does the Yu-Gi-Oh! popup at Yongsan I'Park Mall end?

The Yu-Gi-Oh! popup ends on Wednesday, October 21, 2026. It opened on Thursday, October 15 and runs for seven days only . It is on the 3F Dopamine Station (도파민 스테이션) at Yongsan I'Park Mall, 55 Hangang-daero 23-gil, Yongsan-gu, Seoul (source: popga, 2026-10). GameToc reported from the opening day on October 15 and confirmed both the 3F Dopamine Station location and the seven-day run . As of October 20, 2026, there is about one operating day left.

Quick Answer: The Yu-Gi-Oh! popup at Yongsan I'Park Mall's 3F Dopamine Station runs for seven days, from October 15 to October 21, 2026, according to popga. popga lists the hours as 10:30–22:00 and says entry is free. Another source gives last entry as 21:00, so plan to arrive before 21:00 on the final day.

Sources give different opening hours. popga lists 10:30–22:00 daily . A video description linking Yu-Gi-Oh! Korea's official X account gives viewing hours of 10:30–21:30, with last entry at 21:00. That detail came from a search snippet and has not been verified. To be safe, arrive before 21:00 on October 21 and check @Yugioh_Korea on X for any same-day changes.

Admission is free, according to popga . We found this only in popga's listing. Free entry covers getting in; products in the sales zone are sold separately.

What is sold and what can you do at the Dopamine Station popup?

The Dopamine Station popup combines a shop and a set of activities. GameToc's on-site report from opening day (Oct 15, 2026) lists three parts: a sales zone for Yu-Gi-Oh! Official Card Game (OCG) and Rush Duel products, an activity zone and a KC Store . Visitors can buy product and play the programs in the same visit.

The two product lines are separate formats of Yu-Gi-Oh!. OCG is the Official Card Game sold in Asian markets. Rush Duel is a separate, faster format with its own cards, and its cards cannot be used in OCG decks. According to GameToc, the popup stocks products for both. The sources we read do not include a full product list or shelf prices. This page therefore names only the products that were reported, and it gives no prices for the sales zone. These are Yu-Gi-Oh! products only. Nothing at the popup is reported to involve Pokémon TCG or the ONE PIECE Card Game.

The activity zone runs short programs and a collection mechanic across the venue. GameToc reported the following :

• Speed sketch: a timed drawing program.
• Bingo: a bingo program run in the activity zone.
• 'No Damage Challenge': a challenge program reported under this name. Sources give no rules.
• Stamp rally with prize draw: you collect stamps around the popup to enter a draw. Sources do not list the prizes.
• Photo zones: set areas for photos inside the popup.

The popup listing on popga describes the same mix of a goods zone, an activity zone and a KC Store. It also says the stamp rally adds the fun of walking around and collecting stamps. Neither source gives participation limits, stamp counts or draw odds. Check these on site or on Yu-Gi-Oh! Korea's official X account before you plan around a specific prize.

Inven also published a photo story from the Dopamine Station popup . It is the best way to see the layout of the sales, activity and KC Store areas before you go. Inven's coverage is photo-led, so use GameToc's report for the list of programs and the zone breakdown.

Which product is in demand, and how do prices look?

The product in highest demand at the Dopamine Station popup is the 'Swordsoul Strategist Longyuan' deluxe set. GameToc's opening-day report from October 15 says organizers had prepared extra stock of it . None of the sources we could read publish confirmed won prices for this set or for any other popup product, so this article gives no prices for them.

GameToc names the Longyuan deluxe set as the item that drew the most demand among the OCG and Rush Duel products in the sales zone (source: GameToc, 2026-10). The report does not give a total stock figure or the number of units added. It also does not say whether per-person purchase limits applied. If you are going for this set, it is safest to assume stock can still run out before the popup closes on October 21 , even with the extra supply.

Organizers told GameToc that demand for the 'Swordsoul Strategist Longyuan' deluxe set was especially high and that they had prepared more stock in response. (Paraphrased from the on-site report: GameToc)

Here is what the research does and does not confirm about prices:

• Confirmed: the Longyuan deluxe set was in high demand and more stock was prepared (GameToc).
• Confirmed, single source: entry to the popup is free, according to popga .
• Not confirmed: the retail price in won of the deluxe set, the OCG and Rush Duel products, or the KC Store goods.
• Not confirmed: any resale or secondary-market price for popup items. Treat any figure you see on resale listings or social media as unverified until a named source publishes it.

Popup-exclusive items often show up on resale platforms soon after an event, but asking prices on listings are not sale prices. We did not find a sourced sale record for the Longyuan deluxe set, so this article does not estimate one. Before you buy on the secondary market, compare several completed sales instead of relying on a single listing, and check that the product version and contents match what was sold at the popup.

The SnapHolo price table at the end of this article lists tracked prices for individual cards and sets, with sources. Use it as a reference point. Prices for popup products are set by the on-site sales zone, so check the in-store price tags or Yu-Gi-Oh! Korea's official X account for current figures.

How did reservations work and why did GameToc call it a 'war zone'?

The popup opened reservations before it said what would be on offer. Programs and products were announced only afterward, according to an opening-day report from GameToc on Oct 15, 2026 . GameToc's headline from that day called Yongsan I'Park Mall a 'war zone' (전쟁터). That gives a sense of the opening-day crowds at the 3rd-floor Dopamine Station.

Most character popups do it the other way round: they publish the goods list first and then open booking. GameToc reports that this popup deliberately reversed the order. Visitors had to book before they knew which Yu-Gi-Oh! Official Card Game (OCG) and Rush Duel products would be in the sales zone. They also didn't yet know which activities, such as speed sketch, bingo and the stamp rally, would run .

The organizer explained the reason for this order in GameToc's report. The following is a paraphrase, not a direct quote:

A Daewon Media representative said the goal of the reservation setup was to get products into the hands of actual players rather than buyers who only want to resell. (source: GameToc, 2026-10)

Daewon Media did not publish any purchase limits or reservation figures in the sources reviewed for this article, so none are given here. Inven also ran a photo story on the Dopamine Station popup. It is a second record of the setup and the turnout .

If you are going before it closes on Oct 21, keep the following in mind:

• Expect crowds. Opening day drew a 'war zone' headline, and the final days of a 7-day run are usually busy too .
• Popular items may sell out. Organizers said they prepared extra stock of the 'Swordsoul Strategist Longyuan' deluxe set because demand was high. That doesn't guarantee there will be stock late in the week .
• Arrive early. popga lists hours of 10:30–22:00 . Another listing that could not be verified gives a last entry of 21:00, so plan to arrive well before then.
• Check official updates. Look at Yu-Gi-Oh! Korea's official X account (@Yugioh_Korea) for same-day stock or entry notices before you go.
