SEOUL, December 12 (AJP) - The three-day "Christmas Seoul Pet Show" opened in Seoul on Dec. 12, showcasing a rapidly expanding companion animal market driven by the trend of "pet humanization" in South Korea.
The event, which runs through Dec. 14, aims to promote the respect of companion animals, emphasizing their growing status as full-fledged family members in the country. This shift in perception — where pets are increasingly treated like human children — is accelerating demand across the pet care economy.
The fair features a comprehensive range of products and technologies from across the pet-related industry, including premium feed and treats, essential household goods, furniture, fashion, and various services.
Many attendees brought their pets to the venue. Visitors were seen testing specialized feeds and treats to match their pets' specific preferences and trying on bespoke clothing and accessories.
Interactive areas, including experience zones and event spaces for photo opportunities with pets, were also a highlight for the pet-owning families.
