Merchandise[]

Ways of Listening[]
Going up one floor, in the space called "Ways of Listening", visitors can feel the music through the vibration of sound, while dancing or reading Braille. On the same floor, "Aroma of Sound" is expressed as a perfume through a nozzle designed to resemble a long, straight speaker. The song "Euphoria" by Jung Kook of BTS is reinterpreted in the perfume, with the high notes of the song and the dominant aroma of the perfume all symbolically substituted for each other.[4]
By projecting the perspectives of the people who make K-pop themselves, these people who create projects with HYBE Labels artists take the lead role in their respective positions and content such as songs, performances and music videos can always be interpreted in a new way using all the five senses, similar to compressing the creation process of K-pop and how it can be enjoyed around the world.[5]
