Planning and Execution of Cultural Arts Spaces, a New Interpretation of Pop-ups: Interview with Yeo Dong-in, CEO of Respace Company

[Handmaker, Reporter Kim Je-min] In recent years, offline brand experiences have regained significant attention. While digital transformation accelerated through the pandemic, brands are simultaneously leveraging cultural and arts-based content—such as pop-up stores, experiential exhibitions, and brand events—to secure direct touchpoints with consumers. Within this trend, Respace Company, a comprehensive cultural arts event agency, goes beyond simple event management. The company focuses on visually embodying a brand’s identity and strategically planning and directing offline spaces. Respace Company successfully executes 50 to 60 pop-up stores and exhibition projects annually. By collaborating with major brands such as HYBE, SM Entertainment, Nike, ASICS, Disney+, Woowa Youth, and Musinsa, the agency focuses on creating deep connections between brands and consumers through experience-driven branding, precise target analysis, and immersive spatial direction. We met with Yeo Dong-in, CEO of Respace Company, to discuss the evolution of the spatial content industry, the new role of agencies, and his vision as a cultural arts enterprise. Introduction to the Company "Respace Company is a comprehensive event agency based on cultural and arts content. We plan and implement pop-up stores, exhibitions, brand events, and cultural projects. Rather than acting as a mere agency, we specialize in translating a brand’s narrative and message into spatial content. We handle the entire process from planning and design to construction, operation, and dismantling through a 'turnkey' method." Core Business Areas and Strengths "Our core business is the production of cultural and artistic spatial content, such as brand pop-ups and exhibitions. Our greatest differentiator is our 'Full In-house System,' where planning, design, production, construction, and operation are all handled internally. This structure minimizes conflict between tasks and allows us to quickly produce high-quality results because planners understand the site and designers have a high understanding of construction." Memorable Projects "We recently managed the planning and operation of a VVIP gala dinner for 'Glenfiddich.' Our stage design and sophisticated direction effectively impressed the brand's luxury value upon guests. This success led to our appointment for the 'Paradise Art Night' project. We also worked with Kakao Mobility to create a large-scale drive-in theater, transforming the brand identity of 'joy of movement' into a tangible cultural experience." Vision for the Future "While we have primarily focused on B2B projects, we plan to strengthen our own content brands and expand into B2C projects. I want to expand the 'Respace' spatial planning brand into a cultural arts content IP. Our goal is to become a platform that continuously expands the realm of content, connecting brands and customers not only in Korea but also globally."

Why RESPACE Stands Out Amid the Pop-up Store Frenzy

RESPACE (CEO Dong-in Yeo) is emerging as a leader in the space planning field, recently gaining significant attention for the successful planning of the 'Asics' pop-up store, 'Days of City,' in Apgujeong. Despite rainy weather, the event drew an average of 1,500 to 2,000 visitors daily, thanks to its sharp planning that provided intuitive experiences like treadmill trials for the latest running shoes and posture correction sessions with professional coaches. In an interview at the RESPACE office in Yeonnam-dong, CEO Yeo attributed the company's competitive edge to its strong planning and in-house design capabilities. About one-third of the staff are designers who participate from the initial planning stages to visualize and solidify visual concepts. Regarding the secret to a successful pop-up, Yeo emphasized three core premises: 'Reason,' 'Goal,' and 'Target.' He noted that without clearly defining why the store is being held and who it is for, it is difficult to create an efficient and effective result, especially considering the high costs involved. Looking forward, Yeo predicts a polarization in the pop-up market, with a shift toward maximizing effectiveness through either high efficiency or high investment. "Our strength lies in our roots in art and culture," Yeo stated. From hosting self-curated exhibitions like 'Tumbung Tumbung' in an old bathhouse to planning gala dinners for brands like Glenfiddich, RESPACE continues to expand the cultural boundaries of brands.

Paprika Collaborates with Pop-up Exhibition Specialist to Expand Fandom IP Business

Paprika Co., Ltd. is expanding its business into generative AI-powered fandom platforms, providing videos utilizing Augmented Reality (AR) and Visual Effects (VFX) for idol pop-up stores. On the 21st, Paprika Co., Ltd. (CEO Jeong Jae-hun) announced that it has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Respace Company (CEO Yeo Dong-in), a pop-up exhibition specialist, to create digital platforms and spatial content for fandom culture. The company plans to launch "Space App," a social media service for fandoms, in the first half of this year, with a prototype currently under development. Once completed, it will be unveiled in a kiosk format through a partnership with Kio-Robo for installation at concert venues and pop-up stores. This will allow fans to print content created via generative AI or interact with digital human versions of idols. Paprika has been executing projects with major corporations like Hyundai Motor Company, Naver, and CJ ENM by integrating generative AI with its accumulated expertise in VFX and AR. Last year, the company made a mark in fashion and commerce with the launch of "QL Works," an image-generating AI engine. It has also built a strong portfolio in the entertainment sector, including producing the opening AR videos for the MAMA awards for five consecutive years. Furthermore, the company is investing heavily in incubating and strengthening its own IPs, such as the AI lookbook service "QL Suite," the web novel platform "Pudding Club," and the Fake Out-of-Home (FOOH) advertising service "Foohlower." Respace Company won the Sports/Leisure category at the "2024 Korea Pop-up Store Awards" for its Asics pop-up store. Recently, it has focused on expanding spatial planning and brand experience through projects with idol groups like Stray Kids, RIIZE, and NCT, as well as the outdoor brand Salomon. Paprika stated that it aims to present unique visual content for fandoms in collaboration with Respace Company, leveraging their extensive experience in operating idol pop-up stores. CEO Jeong Jae-hun remarked, “Through this agreement, we aim to innovate artist and fandom culture by combining Respace's expertise in offline spatial planning with Paprika's digital creativity. We will pioneer the global entertainment fandom market based on creative technology that matches the worldwide popularity of K-pop.”
