Enhypen Official Character Enchin Pop-up in Malaysia
Malaysian ENGENEs, it’s time to take out your wallet and spend your adult money on adorable merch of K-pop group ENHYPEN’s cute little characters. The official character pop-up will open at 1 Utama Shopping Centre from 27th June to 19th July 2026.
Here’s what you need to know about the pop-up:
What is Enchin?
ENCHIN is a combination of ENHYPEN’s fandom name, ENGENE, and the Korean word CHINGU, which means friend. They are characters created by the group’s members to represent a friend who brings comfort and luck to their fans, and were only launched this May.

The characters are as follows, representing each member in ENHYPEN:
- WONCHU by Jongwon: a cheese cat
- NoxStar by Jay: a black cat
- JAKEY by Jake: a dog with a hat
- SnoWe by Sunghoon: a white dog
- KISHU by Sunoo: a pink-and-white fox
- PU-NI by NI-KI: a puma and duck hybrid
All of the ENHYPEN members had a hand in creating the concept for these adorable characters. They even included a special ability for each character to represent their identity.
To hard-launch the characters, a pop-up store for ENCHIN is making its way around the globe, kicking off in Seoul before opening in 10 cities in June and July. In Malaysia, the pop-up opens at 1 Utama Shopping Centre in Petaling Jaya from 27th June to 19th July.
You can locate the pop-up on the First Floor of the mall in the Highstreet zone, near Parkson. The pop-up opens to fans from 10am to 10pm, daily.
What to expect at the pop-up in Malaysia
The ENHYPEN Official Character ENCHIN Pop-up at 1 Utama Shopping Centre is hard to miss. Bright blue walls with the colourful and adorable ENCHIN characters can be easily spotted on its facade when you reach the entrance of Parkson in the mall’s new wing.
A poster at the entrance lists out all the available merch at the pop-up, so you can see what to get at a glance.
Inside the pop-up, you can find all sorts of cute merchandise. There’s an adorable section for Enchin plush keychains with their character descriptions above each bin, and other items like photocard holders of all the characters neatly arranged on shelves.
The price for ENCHIN merch ranges from small trinkets of RM30 to big plush pillows for RM190.
Look out for the fun blind packs to pull acrylic keyrings (RM60) and cushion keyrings (RM45) of the ENCHIN characters, to see your luck at getting your bias’s character.
Here’s a little surprise for Engenes: there’s a station where you can make your own custom lanyard strap, which starts from RM20. Choose a keyring strap and the DIY embroidered patches that you want to put on it. The adorable choices include individual Enchin characters striking up different poses, the Enchin character names, and symbols linked to each character. These patches are priced between RM15 and RM18.

Fans will be gifted a free ENCHIN bookmark with the purchase of any merchandise, if stocks last. But if you spend more than RM200, you can get a randomly selected ENCHIN transparent photo card.
Are there admission fees to the pop-up?
Entry to the pop-up store is free, with registration required at the door.
The only thing you’ll need to fork out money for is your shopping spree, which you can pay for with cash, debit or credit card, or even with 1Utama’s digital wallet, 1PAY. But make sure to check the merchandise for defects because refunds and exchanges are not allowed after payment.
