Aug 11, 2025
In Hongdae, Seoul, monsters in traditional folktales are revived after breaking the 600-year seal. Running from September 6th to November 2nd, 'Joseon Monster Exhibition' is an exhibition that recreates stories from the Joseon Dynasty and '8 Monster' that has been handed down in the private sector with realistic horror experiences and interactive stories.
The exhibition begins from the moment it opens '鬼' In the second year of King Sejong's reign, the monsters sealed in Seoi Palace, built west of the city, and Yeonnam-dong, south of the city, are released again after 600 years, and visitors are tasked with directly facing and sealing the monsters.
"Joseon Yo-jeon" reproduces traditional monsters such as 'Shinkiwonyo', 'Udushini', 'Underground National Anthem', 'Water-kwi', 'Duakni' through realistic sets, videos, sounds, lighting, and interactive effects. Each space consists of an immersive story and mission, allowing visitors to directly participate in the seal of the monster.
KOSDAQ-listed Starco Link Co., Ltd., which has established its position in the domestic and foreign game markets for many years, including the online and mobile games of the hot dog, plans to expand its diversified IP business capabilities such as games, webtoons, animations, and exhibitions in earnest through this "Joseon Yogeon Exhibition." In particular, it plans to use the exhibition as an outpost for IP expansion beyond simple experiences by modernly reinterpreting monsters in traditional folktales and introducing them to the global market based on its content development and publishing experience.
Although the heat is slowly receding, expectations for a fear experience to cool down the heat of midsummer are still hot. In particular, the recent success of 'K-pop Demon Hunters', which has resonated greatly worldwide, has amplified global interest in traditional Korean shamanism and monster culture. "Joseon Yoghoijeon" is the only content that allows you to experience fear and traditional Korean monsters at the same time in this trend, and different from Japanese and foreign monsters, the unique fear through the sad soul is attracting the attention of domestic and foreign visitors.
Although the Korean traditional monster is an attractive cultural asset with a strong story narrative that has been passed down for a long time, little character setting or expansion of the narrative structure has been achieved. The "Joseon Yoghi Exhibition" aims to create and image characters for traditional monsters for the first time in Korea, and expand them into various genres such as webtoons, animations, and games in the future to establish Korean goggles as global contents.
"This experience exhibition based on traditional Korean folktales will be a unique horror experience for both domestic and foreigners," a StarCollink official said. "It is especially meaningful in that you can experience Korean horror content at a global tourist destination called Hongdae."
