Robot theme park opens in South Korea

South Korean entertainment company Galaxy Corporation opened a robot themed park in Seoul -- featuring boxing matches and K-pop performances by humanoid robots. Launched on 5 May, the park spans about 16,500 square metres in the city’s eastern Gangdong district.

The Galaxy Corporation plans to host more than 1,000 robot performances each year before the park’s official grand opening in August 2026. The company says the park is intended to become more than a technology exhibition, describing it as a cultural space where humans and robots can interact through music, games and live experiences. Expansion projects in the United Arab Emirates are already under discussion.
