Could robots become the future of theme parks? The BBC raised that question while spotlighting Galaxy Robot Park, a new entertainment space in Seoul that blends K-pop with humanoid robot performances.

The report presented robots as more than industrial machines. At the park, they interact with audiences and serve as entertainment content, while visitors can watch demonstrations of physical AI technology, including cooking assistance and piano playing.

Located in Seoul’s Gangdong District, Galaxy Robot Park is designed as a cultural complex where people and robots experience content in the same space. The company says the site also serves as a testing ground for technology that controls multiple robots.

Galaxy Corporation CEO Choi Yong-ho told the BBC, “We wanted to create a space where future generations could accept robots as familiar beings from childhood and experience them naturally.”
