Unleash the Terror: Joseon Yokai Exhibition - A Korean Horror Experience


Hello everyone!
I'm Jjong, a big fan of pop-up stores and exhibitions~
In this sweltering summer, isn't it true that a chilling horror experience provides an instant cool-down?
A must-do for couples ~ a horror experience!
Like the previous Conjuring Universe exhibition, this time I'm introducing the Joseon Yokai Exhibition!
The 600-year seal is broken. Joseon Yokai Exhibition: Ghost Gate
Exhibition Period: September 6th, 2025 (Sat) ~ November 2nd, 2025 (Sun)

With the recent popularity of K-Pop Demon Hunters,
the National Museum of Korea is also attracting huge crowds.
Perhaps this Joseon Yokai Exhibition will be just as popular...^^?
A realistic horror experience based on Korean yokai (monster) folklore.
'Joseon Yokai Exhibition'
is waiting for you now.
In the 2nd year of King Sejong's reign,
the King built a detached palace west of the capital,
called Seoigung (西離宮).
However, after the palace was built,
all sorts of monsters appeared when darkness fell,
causing suffering to the people.
...
Taoists and shamans
sealed them in a sacred site to the south,
South Yeonnam-dong, south of Seoigung, which would later be called Yeonhui Palace,
is that very place.
...
西 (Seo): West / 離 (Lee): Departure / 宮 (Gung): Palace
A house for those who departed to the west.
Hmm... Was it a space for those who left this world...?
So scary~!
VIEW POINT
First Sealing Site: Two Cries
Chapter 1: Mother and Son
At the first sealing site,
you must soothe and seal the monster with a severed body, 'Shingi Wonyo',
and the baby monster who starved to death, 'Saetani'.
Second Sealing Site: Eternity
Chapter 1: Reclaim the Light
At the second sealing site,
you must seal the crazed serial killer, 'Jihaguk Daejeok',
and 'Eodukshini', who feeds on fear,
and escape!
This experience exhibition consists of a total of 6 spaces.
1. Two Cries (Shingi Wonyo / Saetani)
2. Eternity (Jihaguk Daejeok / Eodukshini)
3. Honeymoon Room (Changgui / Susalgui)

but there are still remaining yokai left..
