Apple Gangnam store opens in South Korea with K-pop band

Apple's Gangnam store in South Korea is now open and features a limited-time pop-up studio with K-pop band NewJeans.

The company announced the opening earlier in March. The new store has a double-high facade, gradient fritted glass, and a mirrored coating finish.

The gradient will cause the glass to change appearance during different times of the day or season. People can explore Apple products and services and receive help from experts at the store.

The company's announcement has many images showing the opening, as Apple team members, including senior vice president of Retail, Deirdre O'Brien, welcomed visitors into the store.
