G-Star at 4th Day - Some negative effects from the huge success at 3rd day and the most popular booth, BattleGround(including PUBG mobile)
: It was a "calmed down" situation on the 4th day comparing with the suffocating 3rd day.
1 | As you see it on the below pictures... |
Standing in line even before it starts. There were so many family group visitors. So the visitors you are seeing on the pictures were just part of them. Actually lots of visitors came after 10 am... Therefore, from around 11 am or 12 pm, it was suffocating inside.
Pictures taken about 9 am on Saturday
After a while, so crowded...
On the 4th day, I witnessed some just giving up visiting and returning. Some just came inside to look around and returned after a while... As a visitor who are going to pay about 8,000 won for this, he or she wouldn't take the risk of boring, waiting in line... with stress... So, on Sunday, the 4th day and last day, it was a little bit calmed down....
I will describe the Sunday like following,
1. I've seen more father-son pairs than mother-son pair. I've just a few pairs of mother-child(or children).
2. Around 2 pm, it became very hard to walk around with crowded pack. Yes, the spot was around the "Fortnite" and "Battleground" booth.
3. Overall far better than on Sunday. Especially at the Google play booth separately place on the 3rd floor. On Saturday, I had to wait about an hour to enter the place but on Sunday, it took just about 20 minutes....
4. On Saturday, more earlier than expected, the gifts prepared by Nexon were consumed fast but On Sunday, they tried to distribute two basic gifts to each one...
In Summary, the huge success on Saturday influenced the next day negatively.

Battle Ground, the booth of the year, 2018
: If I have to choose the best one here, it's Battleground. Of course the main reason is that it has huge user base. But the booth construction is the other reason I chose. Well constructed and the participants were so enthusiastic here and showed some passion. It was a kind of fun to see how they play on the big screen. And the winner among 100 participating players will win 1,000,000 won and Galaxy S9. Spectators are betting who's going to win...
More specifically saying, total winners of all games are 80 players. The winner of each game won 1,000 USD and 1 Gallaxy Note 9. On the last day, the winners of each final stage games of 4 games got 2,000 USD, 3,000 USD, 5,000 USD, 20,000 USD for each and the final winner will get the ticket for a qualification of the "Global Final Match" + Air Flight and Hotel fee.
With just one game, he or she can get that much money for just 4 days!!!! So with this, the other reason is that the Battleground(PUBG) is very popular in Korea... This is reflected directly with the number of visitors.
