Campaign concept: 'Seoul Syndrome' — the longing to return to Seoul after visiting.
A teaser was released Sept. 23; nine campaign films will be posted sequentially on Visit Seoul's YouTube and social channels.
RIIZE appears as modern‑day 'sinseon' (mythical figures) in campaign films alongside Karina and Winter.
Online events include a comment event and a 'Guess the Seoul Night Spot' voice quiz using voices of the artists.
From mid‑October, visitors who complete missions at seven participating Seoul locations can receive campaign goods (posters, photocards).
Offline locations include five Seoul Tourist Information Centers and two Seoul My Soul Shop branches.
Campaign will expand globally from October to outdoor media in major cities (example: Times Square).
Campaign films will air on CNN across 133+ countries per the press release.
Seoul Tourism Organization frames the project as linking K‑culture reach to Seoul tourism objectives.
