One Month After Opening: "About 1,000 a Day" and What Was Added
CEO Choi Yong-ho said in a September 2026 interview that about 1,000 people visit Galaxy Robot Park every day — a statement, not an official count.
Key takeawayIn the month after the 21 August 2026 official opening, Galaxy Robot Park received a robot barista (reported 4 September), hosted actor Jung Il-woo's sharing event (10 September) and took delivery of the ILBOT H2 humanoid (announced 15 September). According to the Seoul Economic Daily on 22 September, CEO Choi Yong-ho said about 1,000 people visit the park, which opened the previous month, every day. Green Economy News reported that the company had trailed the unveiling of an in-house robot in October; monthly visitor counts and repeat-visit rates have not been published.
The "about 1,000 a day" remark
In an interview from New York published on 22 September 2026, the Seoul Economic Daily reported that Galaxy Corporation had opened Galaxy Robot Park in Gangdong-gu, Seoul the previous month and that CEO Choi Yong-ho said "about 1,000 people visit every day". The paper's English edition reported the same day that the park was drawing about 1,000 visitors a day.
This is the first figure describing visitor numbers after the official opening. It is, however, a statement made by the CEO in an interview; the article does not say over what period it is averaged, how weekdays and weekends are treated, or whether guests at invitation events are included.
Reading it alongside the opening figures
On opening day ZDNet Korea reported more than 20,000 cumulative pre-opening visitors and more than 2,200 visitor reviews. The 20,000 is a total up to the official opening, while about 1,000 a day refers to daily attendance after it, so the two figures measure different things.
Multiplying about 1,000 a day by a number of days to estimate monthly or annual attendance is not well founded, because day-of-week variation and the counting method have not been published. The accurate way to cite it is: "CEO Choi Yong-ho said in a September 2026 interview that about 1,000 people visit every day."
Robots and events added in September
On 4 September AI Times reported that XYZ had supplied its Barisbrew robot barista to the Aurora Cafe in the park — a commercial service robot that makes up to 125 cups an hour.
On 10 September, Venture Square reported, actor Jung Il-woo marked his birthday and 20th debut anniversary by inviting 99 guests, including artists with developmental disabilities and their families, to the park. On 15 September IL announced that it had supplied its next-generation humanoid, ILBOT H2, to the park (Money Today).
All three items show the park's facilities, content and uses broadening. None of them directly shows operating results such as visitor numbers or revenue.
What has been trailed next
In a report from New York on 21 September 2026, Green Economy News said Galaxy Corporation planned to unveil a robot with in-house hardware and software in October. Whether that robot will be deployed at the Godeok park was not reported.
In the Seoul Economic Daily interview Choi said the company planned to open a second park in Dubai this year and to set up parks in the United States and Japan within the next three to six months. These are company plans and should be read separately from the Seoul park's operating record.
Metrics not yet published
Operating metrics since the official opening — monthly visitors, repeat-visit rate, share of overseas visitors, spending per visitor — do not appear in any published report so far. One month after the opening, what can be confirmed is the daily attendance the CEO described and the robots and events added in September.
How many shows have actually been held against the target of four or more a day and more than 1,000 a year has not been published either. When counts covering a stated period appear, it will be worth comparing them with the figures and dates in this article.
