Stepping into the spotlight

From K-pop-inspired set designs to personal idol transformations, this unique venue offers fans a chance to live out their celebrity dreams.

Signing sessions, variety show studios, concert backstages — these are the spaces where pop idols create countless photos, videos, and iconic moments that shape our imaginations of star life.

Now, ordinary people can recreate those same scenes with identical set designs.

In April last year, the world's first idol experience center opened in Shanghai. Spanning less than 200 square meters, it features six sets inspired by K-pop idol culture. Here, visitors can dress like their favorite idols, apply sparkling girl group makeup, strike signature K-pop poses, and record dance videos — essentially experiencing their own one-day debut.
