Lotte World Unveils Three New Joys

Lotte World continues to deliver new excitement in the new year. At Lotte World Adventure, a variety of attractions themed around the popular animation 'Princess Catch! Teenieping' are unfolding, while the Aquarium welcomes its newest friend, the Capybara, among its diverse marine life. Additionally, Seoul Sky, the observatory at Lotte World Tower where visitors can get closest to the sky, has opened a new interactive exhibition space in collaboration with the global IP 'Jujutsu Kaisen.' Experience these three delightful surprises at Lotte World now.


■ Catch! Teenieping: "Adventure is Full of Fun"
Lotte World Adventure is now awash in pink. This is thanks to the ongoing seasonal festival 'Twinkle Miracle Winter,' held in partnership with the popular animation IP 'Princess Catch! Teenieping.'
Since the end of last year, Lotte World has been unveiling spaces featuring popular Season 6 characters such as Hachuping, Sappunping, Areumping, and Pponiping. On the second floor's Barcelona Square, a 'Magic Train Photo Zone' has been set up, while Lotty's Train, which circles the first floor, has been revamped as the 'Teenieping Train.' In addition, the Kiddie Zone now features a 'Teenieping Room' themed area, which has been very popular among young visitors.
The pink world of Teenieping has become even richer in the new year. On the first floor of Adventure, a 'Crystal Snow Gate' with a snowflake jewel concept has been installed, and at the Meeting Square, a giant 5-meter-tall 'Sappunping Princess House' has become a new photo hotspot for the New Year.
Interactive experiences and customer benefits have also been enhanced. At the photo shop in front of the carousel, a season-limited 'Teenieping Frame' is available, and children riding the 'Teenieping Train' are given exclusive Lotte World Adventure Teenieping ticket stickers on a first-come, first-served basis.
The signature parade at Adventure has also been renewed. The 'Catch! Teenieping Parade,' featuring the Teenieping theme song, takes place once daily at 5 p.m., heightening the festive atmosphere. Additionally, photo sessions with Teenieping characters are held twice a day, attracting families to the park.

■ Aquarium: "A New Friend, Capybara, Has Arrived"
A new friend has been invited to Lotte World Aquarium, bringing a sense of happiness. It is the Capybara, known for its large size and adorable charm. With its gentle nature and sociability, the Capybara has recently become known as a 'healing animal' on social media. Its well-developed webbed feet make it an excellent diver and swimmer.
The area around the basement level 1 tank, where the Capybara has moved in, is now filled with Capybara-themed content. Nearby, a photo zone decorated with Capybara plush toys has been set up, and a new observation-focused ecology session introducing the Capybara's behaviors and charms is being prepared.
To celebrate the arrival of the new friend, special food and a variety of merchandise have been introduced. At 'Sea Table' on the first basement level of the Aquarium, visitors can enjoy cute Capybara character drinks and ice cream, and savory, sweet popcorn in Capybara character popcorn buckets will soon be available. In addition, a dedicated Capybara section at the 'Aqua Shop' offers a range of merchandise, including Capybara plush toys and keyrings.
Lotte World Aquarium has also launched a new educational program for teenagers interested in aquariums. Called 'Secret Tour,' this event allows participants to explore the behind-the-scenes areas of the Aquarium with a professional educator. The program includes tours of the aquarium's life support system (LSS), medical and treatment rooms, and hands-on experiences in preparing food for the animals.

■ Enjoy Japanese Animation 'Jujutsu Kaisen' at Seoul Sky
At Seoul Sky, the interactive exhibition space 'Jujutsu Kaisen x Seoul Sky: Hidden Inventory/Premature Death & Shibuya Incident,' created in collaboration with the global IP 'Jujutsu Kaisen,' is currently underway.
Running until February 28, this exhibition greets visitors at the entrance with life-size figures of the main characters. In the basement level 2 experience zone, guests can see the first appearance of the special-grade sorcery 'Domain Expansion.' On the 120th floor observatory, adorable Jujutsu Kaisen characters attached to the windows welcome visitors. A large photo zone allows guests to capture memories with iconic characters from 'Jujutsu Kaisen' inside a Polaroid frame.
There are also ways to enjoy the exhibition more immersively with exclusive 'Jujutsu Kaisen' merchandise. The newly released package for this collaboration includes a Seoul Sky admission ticket, a character photo card with a stampable back, and a mini acrylic block, all provided at random to add extra fun.
At the Seoul Sky gift shop, visitors can find rare 'Jujutsu Kaisen' goods. In addition to exclusive collaboration items sold only at Seoul Sky, rare collectibles such as figures directly imported from Japan are also available.
Seoul Sky is also hosting a New Year's wish event. At the 'Sowondang' gift shop on the 121st floor, visitors can purchase a 'Hopae,' modeled after the identification tags used in the Joseon Dynasty. By writing their name and wish on the Hopae, guests can hang it in their chosen spot among the traditional folk paintings displayed at the observatory.
