Experience K-pop and Korean Wave Culture at Incheon Airport... 'HiKR Station' Opens

Free Year-Round Access for Travelers and Visitors
Special Promotional Week Until June 2

On May 30, Incheon International Airport Corporation announced that it will collaborate with the Korea Tourism Organization to establish and operate 'HiKR Station,' a Korean Wave culture experience center for foreign travelers at Incheon International Airport.

HiKR Station is modeled after the Korea Tourism Organization's multi-purpose cultural space, 'HiKR Ground,' located in downtown Seoul. It is designed as a platform where foreign travelers can experience contemporary Korea as soon as they arrive at the airport.

The interior features a variety of experience zones, including 'HiKR Stage,' where visitors can dance and film themselves to K-pop music; 'HiKR Shot,' where they can take selfies with backdrops of various Korean landmarks and graphics; 'HiKR Pick,' where they can receive various products; and 'Beauty Up,' where they can use props for filming and makeup. Dedicated staff members, known as the Hi-ten Crew, are stationed on-site to assist visitors.

HiKR Station is located on the first basement level of Incheon Airport Transportation Center 1. It is open year-round and free of charge to all, including both domestic and international passengers as well as any airport visitors. Operating hours are from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m., and it is closed on the last Wednesday of every month. Until June 2, a special promotional week will feature a variety of cultural performances, including DJ sets and dance crew shows.

In addition to HiKR Station, various cultural experience spaces, such as the media exhibition hall 'K-Culture Museum,' are also operating at Incheon Airport Transportation Center 1. The corporation provides unique cultural and artistic services exclusive to Incheon Airport, such as the 'Incheon Airport Culture and Arts Week.'

Lee Hakjae, President of the corporation, stated, "As Incheon Airport serves as the gateway to Korea and provides the first impression of the country to foreign visitors, we will expand our cultural and artistic content to introduce the beauty of Korean culture to the world."
