KPop Demon Hunters HUNTR/X Products Released Widely as Partnership with Experience Platform Expands Global K-pop Tourism Ecosystem

Products based on HUNTR/X, the core character from Netflix’s animation “KPop Demon Hunters,” are being released at a rapid pace. Official licensed items are available through major retail channels including Amazon, offering a variety of goods such as clothing like crew necks and hoodies, as well as insulated tumblers, pillows, puzzles, and games.

The HUNTR/X crew neck sweatshirt features a large logo of the group and is available in sizes ranging from XS to XX. The HUNTR/X hoodie comes in three colors including pink and is made from a cotton-polyester blend, making it ideal for layering in winter.

Meanwhile, KPop Arcade and DarwinKS, a blockchain fintech company, have signed a strategic partnership aimed at creating a smart experiential tourism ecosystem for global visitors. Located in Seongsu-dong, Seoul, KPop Arcade offers an all-in-one service through its “Be the Idol” program, where visitors can become idols themselves and perform on a 200-inch LED stage, with professional-grade videos and photos produced as a result.

With forecasts indicating that foreign tourists visiting South Korea could reach 21 million by 2026, KPop Arcade is expanding its global presence starting from its main location in Seongsu-dong. DarwinKS’s “MTM (Multi Digital ATM)” provides services for exchanging 85 different legal currencies from 16 countries, as well as topping up prepaid cards using virtual assets such as Bitcoin and Tether.

The two companies will carry out their collaboration in three phases. In phase one, promotional videos for KPop Arcade will be displayed on the screens of MTM machines at major tourist destinations such as Namsan Tower, Myeongdong, and Seoul Station, with immediate discount coupons issued on-site to attract visitors. In phase two, the marketing network will be expanded through DTK cards designed specifically for foreigners in partnership with Kona AI and via global partner channels. In phase three, MTM machines will be installed inside KPop Arcade stores to enable instant payment using virtual assets and complete a global advance ticketing system.
