Galaxy Robot Park Opens in Seoul With K-pop Robot Performances

Galaxy Corporation has unveiled Galaxy Robot Park in Seoul’s Godeok-dong, presenting a K-pop robot park built around robot performances and interactive AI entertainment. The venue was shown at a May 15, 2026 opening and vision event, with reports describing a site of about 5,000 pyeong, or 16,500 square meters, in eastern Seoul.¹²

The company said it is preparing K-pop robot performances three to six times a day and at least 1,000 times a year. Programs introduced across the launch coverage include robot K-pop stages, robot boxing, robot portrait experiences, robot control experiences, children’s interactive programs, and AI-based content.¹³⁴

Galaxy Robot Park Opening in Seoul

Galaxy Robot Park is located in Godeok-dong, Gangdong-gu, Seoul. Yonhap News Agency described the project as a robot-themed K-pop entertainment park in the eastern part of the city, with a performance hall and interactive programs for children.²

At the May 15 event, robots performed to six K-pop songs: four associated with G-Dragon and two associated with Taemin. ZDNet Korea reported that the event also included robot boxing, robot portrait experiences, and a mirroring system demonstration.¹⁵

Korea JoongAng Daily reported that three robots danced in the main performance space to songs by G-Dragon and Taemin. The same report said the robots were made by China’s Unitree Robotics, and described the business model as extending beyond performances to robot portraits, control experiences, and robot boxing.³

The company’s public framing links the venue to entertainment technology and physical AI. Choi Yong-ho, CEO of Galaxy Corporation, said, “The era in which AI exists only inside mobile phones will continue to fade,” in remarks reported from the press event.¹ Yonhap also reported Choi’s visitor concept: “We aim to create a robot-themed park where people can stay for about three to four hours.”²

Performance Schedule and Visitor Programs

The opening timeline has been reported in phases. Dong-A Ilbo reported ahead of the launch that Galaxy Corporation would formally open Galaxy Robot Park on May 5, 2026, Children’s Day, at a 5,000-pyeong site in Godeok-dong.⁶ Electronic Times later reported that about 100 children attended a May 5 invited event at the park, with all programs provided free of charge.⁴

That Children’s Day event included children from single-parent families and children with borderline intellectual functioning. Activities reported for the invited program included robot portrait sessions, robot interaction activities, and AI-based content.⁴

The May 15 event then presented the park’s broader performance and business direction. ZDNet Korea described it as an official opening and vision declaration event, while Edaily reported the robot K-pop performances and experience programs introduced on site.¹⁵

For regular operations, ZDNet Korea reported that Galaxy Corporation plans to begin with three performances a day from the following month and later expand to as many as six daily shows, reaching more than 1,000 performances annually. Korea JoongAng Daily reported that weekend performances are set to begin in June with three shows and expand from September to six or more shows a day.⁵³

The performance system is based on robots learning K-pop artists’ choreography through motion-capture technology, Yonhap reported. The reported program mix indicates that the park is not limited to stage shows, but also includes hands-on or interactive activities such as robot portraits, control experiences, and children’s programs.²³

What the Park Adds to K-pop Entertainment

Galaxy Robot Park brings together two sectors already associated with South Korea’s cultural and technology industries: K-pop performance and robotics. The reported launch format centers on humanoid-style robot entertainment rather than a conventional artist concert, using established K-pop choreography as the recognizable performance language.

The venue’s scale is one of the clearest confirmed details. Multiple reports describe the Godeok-dong site as about 5,000 pyeong, while Yonhap gives the equivalent as 16,500 square meters.¹² The announced performance target of at least 1,000 shows a year also positions the park as a regularly programmed entertainment venue, not only a one-time technology demonstration.¹⁵

At the same time, the available information leaves some practical details open. The source material confirms the location, major programs, reported opening events, and planned performance frequency, but does not provide a full public ticketing structure, detailed daily timetable, or long-term artist-related repertoire beyond the reported G-Dragon and Taemin songs shown at the May 15 event.
