SEOUL, South Korea, Oct. 10, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- The Korea Heritage Service and the Korea Heritage Agency announced to present the special program "Princess Hwasun - The Mystery of the Love Letter Hidden in Her Green Wedding Robe" (hereinafter referred to as "Princess Hwasun") from October 22 to 27 at Changdeokgung Palace in Seoul, South Korea.
"Princess Hwasun" is part of the Visit Korean Heritage Campaign, a project designed to introduce the rich charm of Korea's cultural heritage to both domestic and international visitors. This audience-participatory program combines a mission tour with the narrative of the Royalty Route, one of the core heritage courses of the campaign.
* Korean Heritage Routes consist of 10 routes and 76 destinations centered around Korea's UNESCO World Heritage Sites and Intangible Cultural Heritage. These include (1) The Gaya Culture Route, (2) The Gwandong Pungryu Era Route, (3) The Baekje Antiquity Route, (4) The Korean Temple Monasteries (Sansa) Route, (5) The Korean Confucian Academy Route, (6) The Prehistoric Landscape Route, (7) The Mythic Landscape Route, (8) The Folk Music Route, (9) The Royalty Route, and (10) The Golden Era Route. Detailed information on each destination can be found on the official campaign website (www.kh.or.kr/visit).
Unlike traditional group-guided tours, this program allows participants to experience Changdeokgung Palace at their own pace. During the tour, participants will follow the traces of Princess Hwasun, piecing together fragments of her story through various missions. The immersive experience culminates in a theatrical performance based on historical records from The Record of Princess Hwasun's Wedding*, allowing participants to transcend time and space as they relive history.
* The Record of Princess Hwasun's Wedding is an ancient record detailing the preparation and execution of Princess Hwasun's wedding, including the compilation of the official wedding protocol.
In collaboration with Samsung Electronics, this program will be offered to both domestic and international audiences without separate sessions. Throughout the tour, participants will be provided with Samsung Galaxy Z Fold6 and Z Flip6 devices, enabling them to enhance their experience using the Galaxy AI features. These include real-time translation through 'Interpretation' and image-based search via 'Circle to Search,' allowing for a seamless and enriched exploration of Changdeokgung Palace, regardless of nationality or language.
The story of Princess Hwasun concludes with a journey from Changdeokgung Palace to Jongmyo Shrine, where the legacy of her father, King Yeongjo (r. 1724-1776), is revealed. This connection between two UNESCO World Heritage Sites - Changdeokgung Palace and Jongmyo Shrine, key stops along the Royalty Route - provides participants with a profound sense of travel through Korea's royal heritage, leaving them with a lasting impression.
Tickets for the time-transcending mission tour, "Princess Hwasun" will be available on a first-come, first-served basis starting at 2 PM on October 10 via Creatrip (foreign-exclusive tickets). The participation fee is KRW 20,000 (approximately USD 15) per person. The program will run six sessions over six days from October 22 to 27.

YONGIN, South Korea, Jan. 14, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- WIRobotics, a global robotics company co-led by Co-CEOs Younbaek Lee and Yongjae Kim, announced the successful conclusion of its participation at CES 2026, marking a shift from technology demonstration to the execution phase of global collaboration across both humanoid and wearable robotics.
Across CES 2026 Unveiled and the main exhibition, WIRobotics showcased its wearable walking-assist robot WIM S and humanoid robot ALLEX, moving beyond demonstrations to engage in concrete business discussions and technical collaboration planning. This year's CES served as a meaningful turning point, with tangible outcomes pointing toward real-world partnerships and business expansion.
At the exhibition, ALLEX attracted strong interest from global technology companies including NVIDIA, Meta, and Amazon, with purchase interest expressed by several organizations. WIRobotics also established concrete plans for technical collaboration and joint technology development with select AI big-tech companies, advancing discussions into an actionable stage.
ALLEX was highly regarded for its high-degree-of-freedom hands and arms, as well as its ability to deliver human-like force control and natural interaction across the full body. Strong anticipation was also shown for ALLEX's research-focused platform scheduled for commercial availability later this year, along with an expanded configuration integrated with a wheeled mobile base.
The company's wearable robot WIM also delivered tangible business outcomes at CES 2026. WIRobotics held discussions regarding potential collaboration with senior living communities and government-led programs in the United States, while advancing distribution partnerships in Mexico, the Middle East, and Southeast Asia, further solidifying its global expansion strategy.
With nearly three years of commercial deployment, WIM continues to demonstrate its value as a wearable robot designed for long-term daily use. Existing users from around the world visited the WIRobotics booth to experience product upgrades and share real-world usage feedback, reinforcing user trust and sustained adoption.
"CES 2026 marked a pivotal transition for WIRobotics—from presenting technology to executing real collaboration and business initiatives with global partners," said Younbaek Lee, Co-CEO of WIRobotics.
"The real-world experience and data accumulated through wearable robotics have become a core asset in accelerating the maturity and commercialization of our humanoid robotics technology. Building on both platforms, we will actively expand joint development and global market opportunities with our partners."
Following CES 2026, WIRobotics plans to accelerate global collaboration and business expansion centered on humanoid and wearable robotics, contributing to the broader integration of robotics across research, industry, and everyday life.
