[DiaryPoint = Reporter Choi Seung-jin] G-Star 2026’s public exhibition will run Nov. 19–22 at BEXCO in Busan. Tickets cost 18,000 won for adults and 8,000 won for teens born on or after Jan. 1, 2008. Tickets are available only through advance online booking; there will be no on-site sales.

Bookings are open until midnight on the day before the visit, and each ticket is valid only for the date selected. Each person may buy up to two tickets per day. Ticket checks end at 5 p.m., and entry closes at 5:30 p.m. The exhibition opens at 11 a.m. on Nov. 19, the first day.

Teen ticket holders may be asked to show a document confirming their date of birth, such as a student ID, youth ID, passport or resident registration record. Preschool children, people with disabilities, and people recognized as national merit recipients may enter free. They must collect a ticket at the general information desk, which opens one hour before the exhibition.

During G-Star, from Nov. 19–21, NC AI will operate a café where visitors can try its generative AI platform VARCO at the Chacha Coffee Centum Leaders Mark location in front of BEXCO Exhibition Center 2. Visitors can create and edit 3D assets from images or text, or turn a recorded voice into creature sounds.

“VARCO is the ideal AI partner for bringing creators’ ideas to life while significantly easing the burden of production,” said Lee Yeon-su, CEO of NC AI. Visitors planning to attend the public exhibition on Nov. 22 must complete their online booking by midnight on Nov. 21.
