Rocio Lopez氏が設立したIdaho Kpop Stansグループは、BTSの「Magic Shop」に着想を得て、アイダホのK-POP愛好家向けに歓迎される空間を創出することを目指している。この組織は、安全なオンラインおよびオフラインのコミュニティを育むことに注力し、地元の韓国人経営ビジネスを支援する。8月に予定されているフェスティバルでは、音楽だけでなく韓国文化全般を強調する。
ロシオ・ロペス氏は、BTSの楽曲「Magic Shop」の歌詞から着想を得て、「現実のマジックショップ」を実現するためにIdaho Kpop Stansを設立した。ロペス氏は、「それは恐怖や痛みを癒しのエネルギーに交換するというアイデアに基づいており、歌詞では、心の中に消えたくなったら行ける場所への扉を作るという内容です」と説明した。彼女は、集まりが参加者が理解され、音楽への愛を共有できる逃避の場を提供すると付け加えた。
