Welcome to K-Pop Stop, your New Zealand home for all things K-Pop! I'm Mala, the owner and sole operator of this store, and I started this business because I know firsthand how hard it is to be a K-Pop fan in Aotearoa 🥲

My own journey began in 2019 after watching a concert video of EXO performing Thunder. I was immediately hooked, buying my first album and diving headfirst into collecting their entire discography! Soon after, I discovered other amazing groups like NCT 127, ATEEZ, SuperM and WayV too. However, I quickly ran into a problem - there was no dedicated K-Pop store here in NZ!

I decided to change that. With encouragement from friends and a lot of passion, K-Pop Stop was born in November 2020. My mission was simple: to make it easy for fellow fans to find the albums and merchandise they love, without the hassle of international shipping costs or long waits.

We're proud to offer a wide selection of K-Pop and J-Pop releases, bringing a piece of the music we love directly to you!

Our Community

At K-Pop Stop, we believe in giving back to the community that supports us. We are so grateful for our customers, and we're proud to use our platform to make a positive impact.

We regularly sponsor events for local fan communities and student groups, including Friends of Korea, Project: Hallyu, and KONA (Korean Night), by providing albums as prizes. We were also so excited to support Kinetic Studio/Westlake High School's 2025 performance night showcase, and look forward to more events such as these in the future!

In November 2024, to celebrate our 4th anniversary, we donated over $500 to the Child Cancer Foundation NZ. Additionally, as I am a passionate animal lover, I make regular donations to various rescues across Auckland on behalf of K-Pop Stop.
