The display will include K-pop band wardrobe from 78 different artists. Some of the clothes featured will be those worn in popular music videos such as "Yet To Come (The Most Beautiful Moment)" and "Maestro" by Seventeen. You can check out the full list here.
There'll also be interactive singing, dancing and photo booths. Another highlight is an immersive room featuring BTS' 2022 Grammy performance.
