From experience zones to test drives and expert product advice, the complex immerses people in the future of mobility within one of Seoul’s most popular districts, Seongsu, MotorPress reports.
Formerly an industrial neighbourhood, Seongsu has emerged into a popular hub of creativity and fashion in recent years, and is affectionately known locally as the ‘Brooklyn of Korea’, reports KoreaJoongangDaily.
Ji-Min Kim, Head of Korea Business Strategy Group at Kia says:
“The purpose of ‘EV6 Unplugged Ground’ was to convey a message about a new life – recycling, sustainability, future mobility and electric vehicles. We chose Seongsu as it was a neighborhood that has also been ‘reborn’, much like the Kia brand, for this space to receive recognition from prestigious design experts at Red Dot is a huge boost for everyone at Kia.”

Shortly after being crowned 2022 European Car of the Year, the Kia EV6 also picked up two Red Dot Awards: the ‘Best of the Best’ accolade for its pioneering and forward-looking design, as well as being named winner in the ‘Innovative Products’ category.
The Red Dot Design Award is one of the largest design competitions in the world. It is announced annually by the Design Zentrum Nordrhein-Westfalen and is divided into three disciplines: Product Design; Brands & Communication Design; and Design Concept.
The history of the traditional ‘Red Dot Award: Product Design’ goes back to 1955. This year's entries were assessed by a 50-member international jury of independent designers, design professors and trade journalists.
