We receive all our products directly from Korea. On April 19, one of our most long-awaited shipments—that contained NCT 127’s special Japanese limited edition release albums—as soon as it was delivered to our residential area, was stolen.

Since the store opened in 2016 as the first K-Pop store in Texas, they were saddened by more than the incident and the $568 USD worth of merchandise lost.

As a small business, it does hurt us. It being a limited special edition, that means there’s only a certain amount made. And then after that, it’s no longer printed. Because of that, it was very difficult for us to get it in the first place.

Sung Bea noted how difficult it was for fans who’d been expecting the albums, “As much as the cost of the albums hurt us, it’s more directly to our customers and how inconvenient it is for them.”

NCTzens managed to bring some much-needed relief to the situation, helping the clip go semi-viral for the news station including proper NCT background music.
