[Asia Economy Reporter Jeon Jinyoung] AK Plaza is holding an experiential exhibition with famous influencers to celebrate the summer vacation. AK Plaza announced on the 13th that it will hold the ‘Heunhan Nam-mae’ exhibition at the AK Gallery located on the 6th floor of the Suwon branch until August 15.

‘Heunhan Nam-mae’ is a popular YouTube channel with about 2.38 million subscribers. Creators Han Eutteum, a former SBS public comedian, and Jeong Daun play the roles of siblings, presenting episodes that could happen between real siblings in a sitcom format, gaining great popularity among children.

The exhibition was planned to implement popular content from ‘Heunhan Nam-mae’ YouTube and books offline, allowing children to participate directly, enjoy, and satisfy their five senses. This exhibition is divided into four main experiential and exhibition spaces: ▲Play Experience Zone ▲Education Zone ▲Game Zone ▲Photo Zone.

The Play Experience Zone features a tropical mood waterpark-themed space under the theme ‘Summer with Heunhan Nam-mae.’ It provides experiential facilities such as air bounces, ball pools, and large tube zones where children can enjoy themselves and fully experience the waterpark atmosphere. In particular, large character balloons are placed within the experience zone, and sub photo zones are set up throughout the zone so visitors can leave memories through certification shots.

The Education Zone is designed as a fun educational space with quiz programs and large dice games on topics such as science, general knowledge, and Korean language. The Game Zone, which recreates Heunhan Nam-mae’s house offline, uses an escape room method to allow children to stay longer and experience the space. Additionally, a special fan letter space for children fans to send letters to Heunhan Nam-mae is provided. The exhibition is free of charge and closed on department store holidays.

To celebrate the exhibition, AK Gallery offers various promotions and events. First, related goods such as Heunhan Nam-mae books will be sold at up to 25% discount during the exhibition period, and special limited-edition fans will be given to AK Members customers who visit AK Gallery. Also, customers who take certification shots at the exhibition photo zone and upload them on SNS with designated hashtags will receive instant Pepero gifts and be entered into a draw to win ‘Icheon Termeden Pool & Spa tickets.’ A fan signing event will be held on July 23. Invitations to the fan signing event will be given by lottery to customers who purchase Heunhan Nam-mae goods above a certain amount and students enrolled in the ‘Heunhan Nam-mae Class’ at AK Plaza Cultural Academy. Detailed information about the events and fan signing can be found on AK Gallery’s official Instagram and on-site.

An AK Gallery official said, “With the endemic and increased demand for outdoor activities this summer vacation, we planned a fun exhibition where children can directly experience and beat the heat. We hope families create special summer vacation memories together through the Heunhan Nam-mae exhibition prepared by AK Plaza.”
