This event, scheduled for early September, serves as a precursor to the main G-STAR 2026 exhibition in Busan. The pop-up store aims to introduce the ‘Special Pass’ and expand gaming content through partnerships involving webtoons and mobility experiences. Following these promotional efforts, the GXG 2026 game culture festival and the ‘IndieCraft’ exhibition opened in Pangyo. Organized by Seongnam City and related agencies, the festival focuses on the intersection of gaming with music, art, and technology.
