About the Exhibition

Beyond K-Pop, K-Drama, and K-Beauty, discover another side of contemporary Korea 

and the creative culture emerging from Seoul today.

TEXT HIP: PULP SEOUL introduces new ideas, perspectives, and creative voices shaping Korean culture 

through independent publications, webtoons, design, visual storytelling, and more.

Built around the theme “Text to Texture,” the exhibition explores how words, individual imagination, and everyday experiences expand into books, images, design, spaces, and ultimately new forms of culture.

Visitors can explore Korean independent publications, webtoons and novels that inspired popular K-Dramas, picture books, graphic novels, and design and lifestyle magazines. Video and digital content also introduce Korean creators, brands, and creative spaces, offering a closer look at how contemporary Korean culture is created and developed through everyday life.

Beyond viewing and reading, visitors can also take part in hands-on activities 

using Hangeul to create something of their own.

Create your own Hangeul T-shirt and Korean name stamp, and experience today’s K-Culture in your own way.

[MY HANGEUL T-SHIRT: WEAR HANGEUL]
