NYC Beauty Lovers, Get Ready! A Free K-Beauty Pop-Up is Coming, Curated by Your Favorite TikTok Stars!
Imagine stepping into a real-life TikTok feed, filled with the latest Korean beauty trends and the personalities you adore. Well, stop imagining, because that's exactly what's happening in New York City this December! A free, creator-led K-beauty pop-up is about to transform SoHo into a beauty wonderland, and it's all thanks to some of TikTok's biggest stars.
Mark your calendars, beauty enthusiasts! From December 9th to 15th, 21 Greene Street will become "Beauty Bakery New York," a week-long celebration of all things K-beauty. This isn't just another pop-up shop; it's an immersive experience curated by four incredibly influential TikTok creators, boasting a combined following of over 40 million. This event builds upon the success of its Singaporean debut, which garnered over 20 million online impressions, and promises to be even bigger and better.
So, who are the masterminds behind this K-beauty extravaganza? Get ready to meet Haleyybaylee (15.7 million TikTok followers), AmyFlamy (5.7 million), Evelyn Ha (4.4 million), and Erica Ha (2.8 million). These "beauty chefs," as they’re being called, will each curate their own "City Girls’ Beauty Recipe" – a selection of five hand-picked beauty brands that perfectly embody their individual aesthetics. Think everything from subtle, soft-glow looks to bold, maximalist glam. You will be able to find the perfect look to match your own personal beauty style.
But here's where it gets controversial... While the creators are undoubtedly the main attraction, the brands themselves are a huge draw. Expect to see familiar favorites like d’Alba, Purito, Unove, Dear Klairs, essenherb, and BANO, alongside a host of other exciting Korean beauty brands. And this is the part most people miss... It's not just about the established names; keep an eye out for the "freshly baked brands" – those buzzy, up-and-coming products that are currently trending in Seoul, making their debut on the global stage.
This pop-up is brought to you by Oddins Inc., a Seoul-based entertainment group that launched Beauty Bakery as an experiment in blending content, culture, and commerce. The Ha sisters – Evelyn, Erica, and Emily – were instrumental in the initial launch this past summer. The immense popularity of the first edition clearly demonstrated the success of this innovative approach. It is evident that the New York event is designed to be even more engaging and interactive, allowing fans to connect with their favorite creators in a tangible way, far beyond their online feeds.
In the words of Alin Ko, CEO and co-founder of Oddins Inc., "Beauty Bakery isn’t just a pop-up – it’s where creators, brands, and fans meet through beauty. It’s a new kind of retail that’s powered by storytelling, creativity, and community."
Prepare for a week filled with exciting livestreams, exclusive behind-the-scenes content, and, of course, plenty of opportunities to shop and discover your new favorite K-beauty products. The big question is: Which City Girl's style resonates with you the most? Will you be drawn to Haleyybaylee's high-energy humor, Evelyn Ha's smooth lifestyle vibes, Erica Ha's trend-forward confidence, or AmyFlamy's polished-yet-playful glam? The choice is yours!
And the best part? Admission is completely free, making this one of the most accessible and exciting beauty events of December.
