SEOUL, November 1 (AJP) - Hundreds of foreign influencers gathered for a Halloween party in Seoul's Seongsu-dong, an industrial-turned-trendy district known for its vibrant atmosphere.
Participants in spooky or creative costumes enjoyed the autumnal American celebration, featuring various fun events and performances.
The party was hosted by Exprivé, a company that connects over 5,000 foreign influencers living in Korea to promote Korean culture worldwide.
Explaining the purpose of the event, CEO Baek Min said, "Halloween is often associated with nightlife gatherings or boisterous parties, but its North American roots lie in a community-friendly tradition where children safely trick-or-treat in their neighborhoods. We wanted to highlight this aspect of Halloween while supporting local businesses."
Baek also unveiled plans to host multicultural events, including a prom night inspired by American traditions as well as celebrations for Valentine's Day, Christmas, St. Patrick's Day, and other international festivities.
Nozanin, a 20-something influencer from Uzbekistan studying business at Soongsil University, shared her experience, "I'm working as a medical interpreter while studying here. I love everything about South Korea and want to continue promoting the country."
Jeremy Butler, another influencer from Maryland in the U.S., who came to Seoul to work as an English teacher and later ventured into modeling, expressed his fondness for living here. "I love the convenience and the safety the city offers," he said. "I'm looking forward to more opportunities to network and enjoy new experiences here."
