Earlier this week, Apple announced that it will soon be opening its largest retail store in South Korea. The new store will be situated in the Myeongdong neighborhood of Seoul, which is the capital of the country.
The Apple Myeongdong will be hosting its grand opening on next Saturday (9th April 2022). Although for those interested in attending this event, you will have to get a reservation because of the ongoing global pandemic. You can get a reservation by visiting the Cupertino based giant’s official South Korean website, with booking starting on April 7. Furthermore, the brand is also celebrating the grand opening by offering a new special wallpaper as well.
For the celebration, the iPhone maker shared a short video and is offering a special wallpaper to download for its iPhone, iPad, and Mac products. In one of the latest issues of the “Tabletops” newsletter about Apple retail, Michael Steeber stated that the new video and special wallpaper are inspired by a traditional South Korean art style that is known as “chaekgeori.”
Notably, the in person Today event at Apple sessions will be hosted at the Myeongdong store. This event will have all the safety measures as well, including mandatory face masks, physical distancing, and temperature checks. The session will also allow customers to learn skills related to photography, art, design, video, coding, music, and more using Apple products and accessories like the iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Apple Pencil. This marks the 518th Apple retail store that the company operates across the globe and the third in the region.
