Westquay Bunsik has launched a limited BTS THE CITY ARIRANG Set in Southampton, bringing a one-week Korean street food offer to the shopping centre from Saturday, July 4, to Friday, July 10, 2026. The £9.90 set includes a campaign corn dog, potato side, Korean drink and collectable sticker sheet while stocks last, with the Westquay branch joining Bunsik’s UK-wide tie-in to the BTS THE CITY ARIRANG LONDON programme, The WP Times reports.
The launch connects Southampton diners with a wider London-led BTS week built around the group’s ARIRANG world tour dates at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Monday, July 6, and Tuesday, July 7. HYBE’s official Weverse notice says BTS THE CITY ARIRANG LONDON runs across cultural venues, landmarks, retail spaces and food partners from July 4 to July 10, with Bunsik listed among the food and beverage participants.
Bunsik Westquay menu brings BTS THE CITY ARIRANG Set to Southampton
The Westquay offer is not a full menu change. It is a fixed limited-edition bundle designed for a short campaign window, which makes the promotion easy to order during busy shopping-centre hours. Bunsik’s official menu describes the BTS THE CITY ARIRANG Set as a bundle built around a special corn dog recipe, potato side and Korean drink, priced at £9.90. The brand also says all locations are participating in the campaign, placing Southampton inside the same national rollout as London, Manchester, Bristol, Plymouth and other Bunsik branches.
The Southampton branch sits at Unit FCK2, Westquay, Southampton, SO15 1QF. Bunsik’s own location page places it in the heart of Westquay and lists opening hours of 11am to 8pm from Monday to Saturday and 11am to 5pm on Sunday. That location matters because the campaign is built for walk-in traffic, fan meet-ups and shoppers looking for a quick Korean street food order rather than a reserved restaurant experience.
The practical point is simple: the food offer runs for seven days, but the sticker sheet is limited by stock at each restaurant.
The campaign also gives Westquay a direct link to a major Korean pop culture week without moving the activity entirely into London. BTS THE CITY ARIRANG LONDON is centred on the capital, but Bunsik’s wider UK network means fans in Southampton can still access one of the official food-led parts of the event. For local diners, the draw is less about a complicated event schedule and more about a themed order available at a known city-centre food stop.
What is inside the £9.90 Bunsik BTS THE CITY ARIRANG Set?
The set is built around four parts: one corn dog, one potato side, one Korean drink and one collectable fan sticker sheet. Bunsik’s official menu summarises the bundle as a special recipe tied to its Korean corn dog offer, with a potato side and Korean drink included for £9.90. A campaign release gives more detail, describing The Idol Bite Corn Dog as mozzarella-filled and reworked in red for the promotion, with gochugaru chilli flakes, beetroot rice cracker crumb and Parmesan.
The main components are:
- The Idol Bite Corn Dog, created for the BTS THE CITY ARIRANG Set
- K-pop Star Potato with honey butter sauce and cheese dusting
- A K Drink selected from Bunsik’s Korean drinks range
- A limited collectable sticker sheet, available while stocks last
The sticker sheet is the campaign’s fan item. The release says it features BTS THE CITY ARIRANG LONDON artwork, Bunsik branding, Korean lettering and illustrations inspired by the restaurant’s menu, including corn dogs and Korean fried chicken. It is included as a gift with purchase and is not being sold separately.

This is a compact campaign menu, not a general discount across Bunsik’s full range. The regular menu still includes Korean corn dogs, tteokbokki, kimbap, Korean fried chicken, cup bap, burgers and wraps. The BTS set sits on top of that regular offer as a short-run product for the ARIRANG week.
Why the Westquay Bunsik BTS launch is tied to London
BTS THE CITY ARIRANG LONDON is an official city programme connected with BTS WORLD TOUR ARIRANG in London. HYBE’s Weverse notice describes it as a project created to mark BTS’s new album and world tour, with programmes across the city designed around the group’s music and message. The programme includes the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium live events, the Korean Cultural Centre UK, Outernet, the London Eye, the River Thames, retail pop-ups and food and drink partners.
Bunsik’s Chinatown restaurant at 31 Wardour Street is the central London takeover site in the food campaign. The release says the Chinatown venue is being wrapped in ARIRANG red for the week, with BTS THE CITY ARIRANG graphics, signage, a fan message wall and campaign clothing for staff. The Southampton branch does not have the same venue takeover described for Chinatown, but it participates through the limited menu and collectable sticker offer.
“We want our restaurants to become places where fans can come together,” Jae Cho, founder of Bunsik, said in the campaign announcement.
That quote explains the food strategy behind the launch. Bunsik is using its restaurants as gathering points during a fan-heavy week, while keeping the offer close to its core street food identity. The set does not ask customers to learn a new cuisine format. It takes the brand’s most recognisable product category, the Korean corn dog, and gives it a BTS-linked campaign treatment.
How Southampton customers fit into a London-led BTS week
The London programme is larger, but Southampton has a clear part through Westquay. Bunsik’s official website lists Southampton among its locations and describes the branch as a place for Korean corn dogs, tteokbokki and kimbap for shoppers and city visitors. That gives local fans a simpler way into the campaign, especially for those not attending the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium shows or the London cultural activations.
The result is a regional version of a national fan moment. A customer in Southampton can order the BTS set at Westquay during the same week that London hosts the stadium dates and official city activities. The menu does not replace the London programme, but it extends the food element beyond the capital.
What fans should know before visiting Bunsik at Westquay
The key detail is availability. The BTS THE CITY ARIRANG Set is scheduled from July 4 to July 10, but the sticker sheet is limited and offered only while stocks last. HYBE’s event notice uses the same stock warning across several programme elements, saying some on-site items may run out early, and Bunsik’s campaign material applies that same principle to the sticker sheet.
Customers planning a visit should check three things before travelling:
- The visit falls between Saturday, July 4, and Friday, July 10.
- The branch is the Southampton Bunsik at Unit FCK2, Westquay.
- Sticker availability is not guaranteed throughout the full week.
Fans visiting mainly for the collectable have the strongest chance earlier in the promotion window.
The set itself is priced clearly at £9.90, which helps avoid confusion at the till. The bigger variable is stock. Food ingredients may be replenished during the week, but limited campaign merchandise often moves faster because one customer may value the sticker sheet more than the meal itself. Bunsik has framed the stickers as a collectable keepsake rather than a standard packaging extra.
Bunsik’s Korean street food offer at Westquay
Bunsik’s wider appeal at Westquay is built on Korean street food that works for quick service. The official Southampton page highlights Korean corn dogs, tteokbokki and kimbap, while the main Bunsik menu also lists Korean fried chicken, rice bowls, wraps and Korean drinks. That background helps explain why the BTS offer is built around a corn dog rather than a plated main course.
The format suits a shopping centre. Corn dogs are handheld, visually distinctive and easy to sell as a limited item. Potato sides and bottled or canned Korean drinks also make the set fast to serve. For a week-long campaign with fan interest, speed matters as much as novelty.
Bunsik’s menu also gives non-fans a route into the promotion. A customer who recognises the brand for Korean corn dogs can order the set without needing deep knowledge of the BTS event. A fan, meanwhile, gets a food item, a drink and a physical collectable tied to the wider ARIRANG week.
Why this limited Bunsik menu matters for Southampton food and drink
The Westquay launch shows how Korean food brands are using entertainment partnerships to bring national campaigns into regional shopping centres. Southampton is not the headline location for BTS THE CITY ARIRANG LONDON, but Bunsik’s presence at Westquay puts the city inside the week’s food story. For local food and drink coverage, that is the news value: a city-centre restaurant is participating in a UK-wide campaign attached to one of the biggest pop groups in the world.
The campaign also reflects how Korean street food has moved from niche interest to mainstream UK shopping-centre dining. Bunsik’s own site presents the brand around Korean corn dogs, tteokbokki, Korean fried chicken and kimbap, all dishes that now travel well through social media and high-footfall locations. The BTS tie-in adds urgency, but the menu still depends on familiar Bunsik products rather than a one-off gimmick. The clearest takeaway for Southampton customers is practical. The BTS THE CITY ARIRANG Set is available at Bunsik Westquay for one week, costs £9.90, and includes a limited sticker sheet only while stocks last. Anyone treating the sticker as the main reason to visit should not assume it will remain available until the final day.
