Great Teacher Onizuka (GTO),
Gokusen, Crows,
and even High&Low — Japanese school dramas
have a kind of romantic nostalgia to them.
In a time when grit and romance mixed freely,
these school stories left a big cultural mark.
So it made total sense when the urban‑casual label
series teamed up with GTO
— and people couldn’t stop talking about it.
Made for Seongsu‑dong’s motorcycle crowd,
this pop‑up recreated that golden era
— nostalgia done right.

The Series X GTO pop‑up runs April 30 through May 10,
covering Korea’s busy holiday stretch —
so if you’ve got plans for a couples’ or family outing,
pair it with a stop at the Seoul Forest World Garden Expo,
and you’ve got a perfect day out.
RSG Seongsu hosted the collaboration,
and the venue was a rider’s dream —
motorcycles and riding culture were front and center,
which made the concept feel smart and well executed.
The punching machine — an icon of bravado — stood proud,
and vintage bikes that used to make riders’ hearts race
— think Kawasaki and Honda classics.
The moment you walked in, it felt genuinely authentic.
From a recreated rebels’ classroom
to an arcade‑style bike game you used to watch older kids play,
the space nails that era’s vibe — all the grit and romance.
Honestly, wandering through these setups is fun in itself.
From pigment‑dyed tees
to reversible coach jackets,
the pieces are seriously good-looking.

to reversible coach jackets,

The clothes shined just as much as the set design,
from military‑inspired staples that defined men’s style back then,
to oversized tees with standout dyed washes,
and reversible coach jackets — the range was impressive.
Series proved once again it knows how to make great clothes.
Personally, I’d reach for the oversized dyed tee —
the vintage color palette and textured prints feel so natural,
and really pop on camera.
Throw on a ball cap,
and it makes a great couples’ look, too.
GRAND OPEN!

A pop‑up you can’t miss — with events to boot
Starting May 1 (International Workers’ Day),
and running through holidays like Children’s Day on May 5,
this pop‑up is perfect for the long holiday weekend.
At the Series x GTO pop‑up,
you’ll find a Japanese‑style night market vibe,
the bike exhibition we mentioned earlier,
and lively events like a punching contest —
There’s also caricature drawing by Kwak Beom (Kwak Tae‑yang),
plus a lineup of other interactive activities,
so if you’re planning a couples’ date or family day out,
consider pairing it with Ttukseom Hangang Park,
and the Seoul Forest World Garden Expo,
then swing by the Series x GTO pop‑up near Seongsu Station —
don’t miss it.
