This marks the third edition of Musinsa's season preview event since it was first held in September 2023. The event is part of Musinsa's "Product Planning Insight Program," aiming to support the growth of brands sold on its platform.
During the event, participating brands are able to receive on-site customer feedback and reviews, which they can incorporate before officially releasing them to the public. A QR code is placed on each product, directly sending visitors to the comment section.
The 28 brands include Glack, Neikidnis, Romantic Move, Mac Moc, Insilence and many more. There are some 100 products on display, allowing visitors to see, touch and even try on items for themselves.
The venue is themed as a holiday resort. In the venue, fitting rooms with three different backdrops, aligning with its concept, are prepared for visitors use as backgrounds for photos.
Additionally, various activities are planned for visitors, including a on-site raffle event and a social media posting event.
