Lotte World, a renowned amusement park in Seoul, is set to captivate visitors with a unique event. On the 28th, the park unveiled its plans for the Dark Moon With ENHYPEN in Lotte World festival. Set to start on September 1, this event is a collaboration with BELIFT LAB artist ENHYPEN, and it will integrate the Dark Moon: Altar of the Moon webtoon IP.
For the duration of this festival, Magic Island, an outdoor amusement park inside Lotte World, will be transformed. Drawing inspiration from the Dark Moon: Altar of the Moon webtoon, the festival tells the story of seven boys. By day, they’re regular students at Decelis Academy. However, when night falls, they turn into vampire hunters. The story unfolds as they embark on a journey when the red Blood Moon appears over the Magic Castle.

This festival will break boundaries, merging the online world of the webtoon with the offline realm of the park. As visitors approach Magic Island, the Dark Moon Gate on the Overbridge greets them, marking the start of their adventure. Banners bearing the Decelis Academy logo and the seven boys adorn this bridge, creating an immersive experience.
The third floor of the Magic Castle will become the Decelis Party Room. Here, attendees may delve deeper into the stories of the seven boys and even snap photos with life-sized character standees. The Dark Moon Official Merch Popup Store-Decelis Academy Gift Shop on the first floor will have exclusive merch. Outside, a Dark Moon Photo Wall awaits, where visitors can step into the shoes of the webtoon’s protagonists.

‘Dark Moon’: An immersive experience
Every night, when the clock strikes 6:30 PM, the reddish Blood Moon will rise, setting the stage for the Dark Moon Castle mapping show. This visual spectacle will see the webtoon video projected onto the castle’s walls, accompanied by ENHYPEN‘s songs “One in a Billion” and “CRIMINAL LOVE.”
For those seeking a more immersive experience, Lotte World offers limited edition packages that will allow them to rent Decelis Academy uniforms, among other things. Furthermore, in collaboration with SNOW, Lotte World will launch an augmented reality (AR) filter in September.
