K-pop<\/a> performances and interactive content.<\/p>\nGalaxy Robot Park held its grand opening ceremony at the approximately 16,500-square-meter facility in southeastern Seoul, after attracting more than 20,000 visitors during its pre-opening period since July.\n<\/p>\n
At the park’s Robot Arena, surrounded by screens on four sides, artificial intelligence (AI)-powered humanoid robots performed to hit K-pop songs, including Yena’s “Catch Catch,” Rose’s “APT.,” BIGBANG’s “Bang Bang Bang” and Momoland’s “Banana Chacha.”<\/p>\n
In one performance, five people paired up with five robots to perform taekwondo, a traditional Korean martial art, drawing loud applause as the robots executed jumping side kicks.<\/p>\n
The performance was accompanied by music, including the traditional Korean folk song “Arirang” and “Sugar Rush” from the Netflix animated film “KPop Demon Hunters.”<\/p>\n
In other zones, visitors could operate robot dogs and dance alongside robots through a variety of hands-on programs.<\/p>\n
Galaxy CEO Choi Yong-ho said the turnout of more than 20,000 visitors before the official opening demonstrated the potential for robots to become a new form of entertainment beyond their traditional industrial applications.<\/p>\n
“We envision combining content with physical AI as the next wave following K-pop,” Choi said. “We will make Galaxy Robot Park a starting point for expanding our entertainment business globally.”\n<\/p>\n
Galaxy said it plans to leverage its experience in robot-based entertainment to expand into global markets, including the United States, the United Arab Emirates and Japan.<\/p>\n
Founded in 2019, Galaxy Corp. combines celebrity intellectual property with technologies such as AI, robotics and the metaverse. The company manages high-profile artists, including K-pop star G-Dragon, actor Song Kang-ho and singer Kim Jong-kook.<\/p>\n
