South Korean Pavilion

South Korean Pavilion: Illuminating Cubes! At Expo 2020 Dubai

A stadium of masquerading lights flickers in an illuminating ambiance! The South Korean Pavilion, designed by Moon Hoon and Mooyuki, explicitly flashes in dazzling shades at the Expo 2020 Dubai.

The design well expresses the cohesive and spontaneous energy of Korean ness in the moments the pavilion partakes.
