Hello to all K-pop fans and collectors!
Starhouse is a project to house photocards from all our favorite stars. Photocards (aka pocas) are awesome pieces of memorabilia that can be collected, displayed, and traded.

Collecting pocas may seem easy, but tap your way through Instagram or X on a hunt for your poca of choice and you’ll likely encounter a few hurdles.
Pocas can be tricky to find, especially if you’re a beginner. You have to sift through hashtags for every group and every idol—and even then, the specific poca you’re looking for may not be easily found; it could be in a salad of other pocas without discernible names.
Navigating through the sea of accounts in the K-pop trading community could present other issues. Like any other trading community, bad actors exist. They can use tactics to seem legitimate, such as setting up profiles with a fake trade history or using names similar to trusted community members.
Let's say you take the regular route of purchasing directly from your Hanteo family-certified store of choice. It’s a great way to support the comebacks—but it also poses an issue for collectors. The lengthy wait for our packages—which can range from weeks to months—can be anxiety-inducing, especially when we’re hopeful of pulling our chase poca. With the average size of a group being a little over 5 members, you risk a 20% chance to pull your member of choice, with that chance falling as the number of members increases.
But there’s a bright side! The K-pop community is growing, full of wonderful fans—including us!
We hope to make the poca search simple and enjoyable. We pack every card with care to ensure safe and quick delivery, and we authenticate each card to ensure that you can shop with peace of mind. We strive to offer as many pocas as we can to help complete your collection. Give us a visit for your next poca!
Starhouse Times will serve as a creative outlet to feature community members and as a meeting place to discuss trending topics, aiming to keep you informed on our favorite stars and all things poca-related.
