The event drew about 10,000 visitors over two days and received a big response.

Following that popularity, the spin-off event "Okawari Shumatsu KOREA Hapuru FES in KYOTO" will be held at JR Kyoto Isetan from Wednesday, August 12 to Tuesday, August 25, 2026.

"Hapuru" (= HOT PLACE) in the event name is a Korean trend word meaning "the place getting the most attention right now."
