The Korea Arcade Game Industry Association (Chairman Yoon Dae-joo) will participate in 'PlayX4 2026,' held at KINTEX Exhibition Center 1 in Ilsan from May 21 to 24, to operate a 150-booth 'K-Arcade Game Pavilion.'

The joint pavilion will feature 11 major domestic arcade companies, including Andamiro and Uniana, and was organized to establish arcade gaming as a wholesome family-oriented leisure culture (FEC). In particular, the association plans to demonstrate the new appeal and value of arcade games by operating a dedicated 'redemption game zone,' where visitors can exchange points earned during gameplay for prizes.

On the first day of the event, May 21, a series of side events aimed at sharing industry vision will be held in the KINTEX 2nd-floor conference rooms, starting with a press conference at 11:00 AM, followed by an industry development strategy seminar at 4:00 PM and a business networking day at 6:00 PM. Association Chairman Yoon Dae-joo stated, "Operating this joint pavilion is a vital investment in improving perceptions of arcade games and fostering a healthy ecosystem. We aim to use the successful establishment of the redemption model as a stepping stone to revitalize arcade gaming as a key pillar of South Korea's gaming culture."

The association plans to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience for visitors by strictly adhering to safety regulations and deploying dedicated operational staff throughout the event.
