June 16 sees the opening of “Proof”, an immersive exhibition at K11 Musea in Hong Kong that covers the first 10 years of the world’s biggest band.
Hong Kong is the fifth city to host the exhibition about the South Korean boy band, after Seoul, Busan, Tokyo and Los Angeles.
The multi-room walk-through exhibition in Tsim Sha Tsui will run for a month and will provide visitors with an immersive experience featuring behind-the-scenes photos, videos, outfits from the band’s decade-long career, and merchandise made exclusively for the Hong Kong show.
Although the set-up of the exhibition has been similar in each of the cities in which it has been staged, the one in Hong Kong will have the most designated areas where visitors are allowed to take photos. Photo taking was banned in the fully sold out staging of the exhibition in Seoul and Busan.
