WHAT’S UP, INCHEON?

When you fly to Seoul, South Korea, you’ll most likely land at Incheon Airport (which is about anywhere between 40 to 50 minutes from the city of Seoul.) This year, the Metropolitan City of Seoul is R16’s host city and the place is going full throttle into the future. Not only are they hosting a huge multi-cultural hip hop event like ours, but they are building robots of all sizes and backgrounds - check out the gigantic-ness of ROBOT TAEKWON V. Some of you in the know will recognize this butt-kickin blast from the past. Now in 2 years time, the famous freedom fighter will tower over ROBOT LAND (over twice the size of the Statue of Liberty to put into perspective.)

You may be saying “THAT’S CRAZY.” And we’ll answer right back ”THE FUTURE IS CRAZY.” That’s why Hollywood makes mad bank with sci-fi films. Come to the future, check out R16 in INCHEON this year.

p.s. Did you know a grip of graffiti artists mashed up some Robot Taekwon V toys last year at our event? Stay tuned - we’ll post those pics soon.
