60’s to Seoul: Retro Elegance and Modern Korean Culture in an Immersive Pop-Up Experience
Korean Pop-Up Event “60’s to Seoul” successfully captivated visitors with its unique concept blending the elegance of the 1960s with the dynamic spirit of modern Korean culture. Designed as an immersive lifestyle celebration, the event presented a fusion of fashion, beauty, art, and entertainment in a fun and memorable cultural experience.
Inspired by the retro aesthetics of the 60s and current Seoul trends, the venue was transformed into an attractively curated cultural destination. Guests enjoyed thematic installations, interactive activities, selected tenants, and various live performances.
From energetic dance performances to interactive cooking sessions, each event was designed to offer more than just an event, but a memorable journey through time and trends.
The event was also attended by a number of guests, including Key Opinion Leaders (KOLs), community representatives, and supporters of each performance, adding to the festive atmosphere.
The success of “60’s to Seoul” was also supported by sponsors and collaborators, namely Metgirl, Kimdae (Korean Makeup Community), and Korean Looks Photo Booth, which provided a Korean idol-style photo experience. This collaboration further strengthened the authentic atmosphere and immersive experience throughout the event.
“We are very grateful for the tremendous enthusiasm and full support from our sponsors, partners, and all participants. The energy and spirit brought by everyone truly made ‘60’s to Seoul’ an unforgettable celebration,” said Alain John John Siwy, General Manager of The Grove Suites by Grand Aston.
Seeing the high enthusiasm for Korean culture, this celebration continued through a culinary program entitled “60 Seconds to Seoul.” Responding to the growing interest of Indonesian people in Korean lifestyle and cuisine, Archipelago, as the largest hotel management group in Southeast Asia, presents this special pop-up dining concept as part of the Archipelago Global Flavours Series.
According to the 2024 Overseas Hallyu Survey released by the South Korean Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism (MCST) together with the Korea Foundation for International Culture Exchange (KOFICE), Indonesia is one of the countries with the highest interest in Korean culture, with 86.3% of respondents showing great interest in Korean cuisine, lifestyle, and urban trends.
Running from January to June, “60 Seconds to Seoul” brings the authentic taste of Seoul street food to the Archipelago hotel network throughout Indonesia. The curated menu can be enjoyed through poolside dining, room service, and convenient ordering via GoFood and GrabFood, making it easily accessible to hotel guests and the general public.
Through the combination of lifestyle events and culinary innovation, “60’s to Seoul” and “60 Seconds to Seoul” share a common vision: to create an immersive, creative, and memorable experience, while bringing the spirit of Seoul closer to Indonesia—without having to travel abroad.
Following this successful collaboration, the organizers hope to continue presenting innovative thematic experiences that celebrate global culture, togetherness, and creativity. (RO/Z-10)
