HiKR Ground: Newest Tourist Attraction In Seoul

Seoul’s HiKR Ground: Experience Korean Culture Via Interactive Exhibit

Seoul is a cosmopolitan city that offers diverse culture and adventure. HiKR Ground, the new interactive experience centre in Seoul, is the perfect place to visit if you want to enjoy Korean art, music and history. If you’re looking for an interactive way to learn about Korea or want something different from the typical tourist attractions in Seoul, this location has something for everyone!

HiKR Ground derived its name by combining the words ‘Hi’ and ‘Korea’ with the concept of a playground. It is a promotional space that utilizes Extended Reality in a novel manner (XR). Everyone is welcome to tour the facility and utilize everything HiKR Ground offers.

Things To Do At HiKR Ground

Together with KTO Global Supporters, we visited Seoul’s HiKR Ground which is known as a state-of-the-art interactive experience centre with exhibits that let you enjoy music, art, and information about Korea.

Located near Gwanghamun Gate in Seoul, the space is filled with technology geared toward the younger generation, including innovative technology applied to diverse Korean content, including Hallyu, arts, and more.

The “HiKR Wall” is an extra-large media wall that is 31 m long and 5 m high located on the first floor. It provides vibrant videos of tourist attractions in addition to K-pop, K-drama, and other content.

The ‘Landscape of the New City‘ by media artist Leenam Lee, which depicts Mokpo, Busan, Jeonju, Andong, and Gangneung, is also on display.

Hallyu enthusiasts can access ‘K-pop Ground‘ on the second floor. At Korea’s only XR Studio, ‘My Stage,’ visitors can create music videos from over 100 backgrounds using XR technology, which is expected to be very popular with tourists.

The second floor also features live studios that use extended reality technology and several picture zones inspired by K-pop music videos. The coin laundry room was featured in BTS’s “Permission to Dance” music video, and the spaceship was inspired by Aespa’s “Next Level” music video. Visitors can put their dancing abilities to the test by participating in a dance game and performing on stage.
