Key takeawayAccording to Asia Economy, Galaxy Corporation's K-pop humanoid robots performed at the finale of the AI for Good Global Summit 2026, organised by the UN's International Telecommunication Union (ITU) at Palexpo in Geneva on 10 July 2026 (local time), and CEO Choi Yong-ho cited the park's sold-out July weekend shows in his keynote. In September, marking the UN International Day of Peace, 17 humanoid robots appeared at Times Square and Rockefeller Center in New York, where a robot modelled on the CEO was unveiled.

The starting point: one robot in December 2025
According to Venture Square on 21 August 2026, Galaxy Corporation's humanoid robot performances started with a single robot called "Power", first shown at a G-Dragon after-party in December 2025. Over about eight to nine months of development the line-up grew to five and then twelve robots, and the company now describes swarm performances moving up to 100 robots at once.
The Seoul Economic Daily reported that humanoid robots performed G-Dragon choreography at COMEUP 2025 at COEX on 10 December 2025. Even before the Godeok park opened, the robots had been appearing on stages outside the company.
10 July, Geneva: the finale of a UN AI summit
According to Asia Economy, CEO Choi Yong-ho delivered a keynote at the AI for Good Global Summit 2026 at Palexpo in Geneva on 10 July 2026 (local time), and Galaxy Corporation's K-pop humanoid robots closed the event with a performance of real K-pop choreography. The summit is organised by the International Telecommunication Union (ITU), a UN agency.
Choi ended his speech with the message "Let's Give AI a Soul." Venture Square reported that he stressed AI should develop not merely as smarter technology but in a direction that protects human emotion.
According to the same reports, Choi told the audience that the park's July weekend shows had all sold out and that it would run more than 1,000 permanent K-pop robot shows a year after a September official opening. September was the plan at the time; the official opening actually took place on 21 August.
September, New York: the International Day of Peace
Money Today reported on 22 September 2026 that Galaxy Corporation had presented 17 humanoid robots at Times Square and Rockefeller Center in New York on 21 September (local time) to mark the UN International Day of Peace. Sixteen robots staged a "peace flash mob" to K-pop music in Times Square, and at Rockefeller Center a robot modelled on CEO Choi Yong-ho was unveiled for the first time.
In an on-stage conversation with Choi, the robot said: "I did not come to replace you. I came to live alongside you," Money Today reported. The Seoul Economic Daily reported that the events ran over two days, 19 and 21 September, with robots dressed in spacesuits.
How the outside stages relate to the Godeok park
In the Seoul Economic Daily interview around the New York events, Choi said about 1,000 people visit the park in Gangdong-gu, Seoul, which opened the previous month, every day. If the outside performances are a stage for presenting the company's robot business, the Godeok park is presented as the place to meet those robots on a regular basis.
The company roadmap reported by Venture Square includes launching a robot idol in the first half of 2027 and a global humanoid robot world tour in the second half of that year. Both are company plans.
What to check when citing the outside performances
Details vary between reports. Money Today centres on a single day, 21 September, with 16 robots in Times Square and the unveiling at Rockefeller Center; the Seoul Economic Daily describes two days, 19 and 21 September. The robot's name is also spelled differently in English-language coverage, including Scofield Stein and Schofield Stein.
Whether the robots that appeared abroad are the same units that operate at the Godeok park, or whether the same show can be seen there, has not been confirmed by reports. Outside events are best read separately from the park's regular programme.
