Galaxy Corporation, a South Korean AI entertainment technology company, opened Galaxy Robot Park in Godeok-dong, Gangdong-gu, Seoul on Tuesday, timed to coincide with Children’s Day. The venue covers approximately 16,500 square meters and is designed as a permanent cultural platform combining robot performances, interactive experiences, and media content.
The opening marks one of the first facilities globally to position robots not as industrial tools or research subjects but as entertainment performers in a purpose-built public venue.
What the Park Offers
The centerpiece of the facility is Robot Arena, an experiential program designed to demonstrate how robot technology can engage with human emotion and daily life. Current programming includes a Robot K-Pop Concert, a Portrait Performance in which robots draw portraits of visitors on demand, and an Interactive Robot Experience targeted at children.
For the Children’s Day opening, Galaxy Corporation invited approximately 100 children, including 70 from single-parent families and children with borderline intelligence, to experience the programs ahead of general public access.
A New Cultural Industry Model
Galaxy Corporation is positioning the park as a template for a new category of robot-based cultural entertainment rather than a conventional technology exhibition. The company plans to expand its robot performance and experience content over time, developing media properties alongside the physical venue.
“Galaxy Robot Park will be a starting point for the expansion of robot culture beyond a simple theme space,” said CEO Choi Yongho. “We plan to expand into the global market starting from Korea.”
The facility reflects a broader pattern in South Korea and China of deploying humanoid and performance robots in public-facing entertainment contexts – from Spring Festival gala appearances to airport guides to sports events – as a way of normalizing robot presence in everyday social environments while generating commercial revenue from the technology before industrial deployment reaches scale.
