SMTOWN &AND STORE (smtownandstore.com) is SM Entertainment's official merchandise and album store, home to aespa, NCT, NCT 127, NCT WISH, EXO, SHINee, RIIZE, and the rest of the SM artist roster. It succeeded the earlier Kwangya@Home store, which has since been retired — SMTOWN &AND STORE is now the correct place to find official SM albums, photocards, and collectibles.
Like most Korean official stores, checkout is built for domestic shoppers: it validates a Korean-format address and phone number, and its payment gateway rejects most foreign-issued cards — so foreigners in Korea get stuck before they can complete an order of their own. We place your order using a verified Korean account, with your Korean address as the delivery destination, so SMTOWN &AND STORE's own courier delivers it straight to your door — apartment, dorm, hotel, or Airbnb.
Why ordering from SMTOWN &AND STORE is hard for foreigners
Checkout requires a Korean address and phone number
SMTOWN &AND STORE's order form validates a Korean-format address and typically asks for a Korean mobile number to confirm the order, which visitors and foreigners without a Korean-registered number don't have.
Foreign payment cards are declined or unsupported
The store's payment gateway is built around Korean card networks, and most foreign-issued credit and debit cards fail at the final checkout step.
Limited-run drops disappear fast
Concert goods, birthday packages, and limited photobook sets tied to SM artist milestones sell out quickly once they go live, so any delay at checkout can cost you the item entirely.

SMTOWN &AND STORE — frequently asked questions
Can I order from SMTOWN &AND STORE as a foreigner without a Korean phone number?
Yes — with Order in Korea you don't need a Korean phone number or account. We use a verified local account that already passes SMTOWN &AND STORE's checkout validation; you just submit the product link and your chosen options through our order form.
How much does Order in Korea charge for SMTOWN &AND STORE orders?
Our fee is 10% of the item's won price, minimum $5 per item, with a $20 minimum order — shown in full before you pay. Most of that fee covers real costs, PayPal's charge plus currency conversion; our own margin is roughly 2–4%.
Where can you deliver my SMTOWN &AND STORE order?
To any address in Korea — apartment, officetel, university dorm, hotel, or Airbnb. We enter it as the delivery address when we place the order, so the store's own courier delivers directly to your door; we don't handle the parcel ourselves.
What happened to Kwangya@Home — is this the same store?
Kwangya@Home has been retired and its old address no longer works. SMTOWN &AND STORE (smtownandstore.com) is SM Entertainment's current official store and the correct place to order aespa, NCT, EXO, SHINee, and other SM artist albums and goods — we order from this store, not the old one.
