Seoul Land is set to launch a unique autumn festival where traditional Korean ghost characters meet spirits from around the world.
According to Seoul Land, the 'K-Dopamine Ghost Festival' will take place from October 5 to November 1.
Building on the popularity of this summer's 'K-Naplyang Special,' the festival combines K-culture with horror content, adding global ghost characters to create new seasonal offerings.
The festival's highlight is the expansion of Seoul Land's unique 'K-Ghost' universe to include global ghost characters.
While the summer season featured familiar K-Ghosts like the Grim Reaper, Gumiho, and Virgin Ghost, the autumn festival will introduce iconic Western characters such as Dracula, ghost witches, and Frankenstein.
This blend of Korean ghost culture and Western Halloween characters aims to showcase a distinct Seoul Land experience, setting it apart from traditional Halloween festivals.
Notably, this festival enhances interactive programs that allow visitors to engage directly with the content.
A new event, 'Ghost Prank Call,' invites participants to call a ghost, where they must evade appearing spirits during the conversation, promising a unique and entertaining experience.
Performance content has also been enriched. The new performance musical 'Gumiho and Ghost Party' humorously narrates the encounter between the K-Ghost Gumiho and Western Halloween ghosts.
Featuring performances set to rock, pop, and dance music, along with fire juggling, the show is designed for enjoyment by families and younger audiences alike.
The popular summer events 'K-Ghost Singing Contest' and 'K-Random Play Dance' will continue into the autumn season.
These programs allow audience members to participate on stage, adding an interactive element to the enjoyment of the performances.
Various areas of Seoul Land will also be newly decorated for the autumn season.
In particular, the Christmas 365 Town will feature a newly created 'Pumpkin House.'
This area will be themed around a party with vampires and ghosts, enhanced with pumpkins and Halloween decorations, creating a unique photo zone.
Using whimsical characters and lighting, the space will be designed to offer different atmospheres for photos during the day and night.
Visitor anticipation is high. One attendee remarked, "Seeing familiar characters like Gumiho and the Grim Reaper alongside Western ghosts gives a different feel from the Halloween I know. It seems more fun and visually appealing, making it great for families and friends to enjoy together."
Another visitor noted, "The opportunity to participate in games, not just watch performances, makes the festival more engaging. The variety of photo spots also makes it an exciting autumn outing."
A Seoul Land representative stated, "This summer, we confirmed the potential of presenting Korean themes through amusement park experiences with K-Ghost content. This autumn, we aimed to expand the K-Ghost universe to include global ghosts and enhance the festival with performances and interactive content, creating a new autumn festival unique to Seoul Land."
