The large-scale media exhibition 'BIGBANG 20TH ANNIVERSARY MEDIA EXHIBITION 'COSMOS'' (hereinafter 'COSMOS'), commemorating the 20th anniversary of the group BIGBANG, concluded to great success amid explosive response from fans and visitors both domestically and internationally.

Hosted by YG Entertainment and organized by global entertainment tech company Creative MUT (MUT), with cooperation from Seoul Metropolitan Government, this exhibition immediately sparked intense buzz upon opening, ushering in a new horizon for K-POP media exhibitions.

Notably, tickets for the prequel exhibition held at Jamsil sold out completely within just one second of booking opening. Combined with the main exhibition, the event recorded a cumulative attendance of over 45,000 visitors, filling the entire venue with intense enthusiasm. Despite being a media exhibition without on-site artist appearances or direct fan interactions, it achieved an exceptionally large-scale commercial success for domestic media exhibitions and saw continuous visits from foreign audiences traveling from all corners of the world, once again highlighting BIGBANG's unparalleled global status.

The main exhibition was held in 'dududo SEOUL', a subterranean complex cultural space connecting Seoul City Hall Station and Euljiro 1-ga Station, receiving significant attention for its spatial symbolism. For the first time, it utilized an approximately 1,000-pyeong (335 meters long) idle underground space in downtown Seoul that had been neglected for about 40 years since the construction of Subway Line 2 in 1983. By combining this hidden urban underground space with next-generation entertainment tech, it was evaluated as a representative model of public-private cooperation, perfectly transforming into a dazzling K-culture complex platform.

Inside the exhibition, Creative MUT's cutting-edge media tech capabilities, responsible for production and organization, were prominently featured, delivering an overwhelming immersive experience that kept audiences captivated without ever taking their eyes off the displays. Starting with the immersive laser performance 'COSMOS BEGINS' enveloping the entire space, followed by 'COSMIC SIGNAL' blending 4-sided media facades with lyric media tunnels, and exclusive unreleased photo beam projection zone 'FRAGMENTS', AI audio zone 'COSMIC ECHO', and a total of 11 themed zones, the exhibition perfectly realized BIGBANG's 20-year history and worldview.

In particular, the exclusive VR zone 'VIRTUAL ORBIT' featuring new song performances and 'COSMIC STAGE' applying 5G hologram technology provided audiences with a perfect hyper-realistic experience as if breathing in the same space as artists on stage, drawing admiration. Additionally, interactive zones such as 'CONSTELLATION' containing all past Bangbongs (light sticks) in one space, the memory space 'COSMOS OF US' where visitors' photos were transmitted in real-time, and the participatory message wall 'DRAW OUR COSMOS' further enhanced audience engagement, driving a trend of repeat visits and on-site photo verification.

Moreover, the exclusive MD store 'PIECES OF COSMOS', available only at the exhibition venue, also received explosive reactions from fans. Sensational limited-edition goods including the new Bangbong for the 20th anniversary and hologram T-shirts produced in a limited run of 2,020 units sold out quickly, maximizing both exhibition dwell time and fan satisfaction.

Furthermore, through close collaboration with Seoul Metropolitan Government, this project also realized social value by enhancing cultural welfare. It provided free admission to over 1,000 marginalized individuals, including children and teenagers in areas with relatively low cultural accessibility, offering them a special cultural experience to directly experience the artistic value of K-culture and next-generation media art technology, adding significant meaning to the event.

Meanwhile, following successful completion of the Seoul exhibition amid unprecedented praise as a next-generation media exhibition, 'COSMOS' will expand its stage beyond Korea into the global market. It plans to hold media exhibition tours in 12 major cities worldwide, including China, and will officially begin expanding the global lineup of K-entertainment tech media exhibitions.

As a result, BIGBANG is set to accelerate the global box office boom of its 20th anniversary project by simultaneously launching both 'BIGBANG 2026-2027 WORLD TOUR < XX : COSMOS >', a 39-show tour across 19 cities in major stadiums and domes worldwide starting from Goyang, Korea, North America, Europe, and Asia, as well as media exhibition tours in 12 global cities.
