INCUBASE Studio, Asia’s leading immersive experience creator, today announced the upcoming launch of the anime cultural and experience hub INCUBASE Arena Jeju, slated to open in April 2026. Spanning over 3,300 square meters at 174 Pyeonghwa-ro, Daejeong-eup in Seogwipo-si, the Jeju Island location will officially become the world’s largest INCUBASE Arena to date.
Backed by 20 years of expertise and 200+ global IP licenses, the world’s largest INCUBASE Arena launches in Jeju
Designed as a premier global exhibition destination, INCUBASE Arena Jeju will bring world-renowned entertainment properties to life through cutting-edge, interactive environments. While the specific IP lineup for the Jeju grand opening will be revealed at a later date, INCUBASE Studio brings a formidable global track record to the project. The company has successfully produced and toured blockbuster interactive experiences across Asia for top-tier IPs, including One Piece, Dragon Ball, Digimon, Demon Slayer, Crayon Shin-chan, Masked Rider, Chainsaw man, Peppa Pig and The Conjuring Universe.
Sion Yip, Founder and CEO of INCUBASE Studio
Led by Founder and CEO Sion Yip—an industry veteran with over 20 years of experience integrating more than 200 premium licenses with innovative technology—INCUBASE Studio has established a dominant experiential footprint. Highly successful INCUBASE Arenas are currently operating in Hong Kong, Taipei, and Kuala Lumpur, capturing a fast-growing, cross-generational audience for immersive anime experiences. The network will expand further with a highly anticipated location targeted to open in Bangkok, Thailand, later in 2026.
“Our ultimate vision at INCUBASE is to showcase the sheer magic and power of manga and animation to the entire world,” said Sion Yip, Founder and CEO of INCUBASE Studio. “INCUBASE Arena Jeju will serve as our ultimate prototype—a world-class blueprint that sets the standard as we prepare to expand our Arena network beyond Asia and into the Western market. We want to be the premier platform that delivers these incredible stories to a worldwide audience.”
Global animation IP-based immersive experience exhibitions are expanding beyond simple viewing to stay-oriented tourism content. This new development of INCUBASE Arena carries great symbolic significance and industrial impact for Jeju as a world-class tourism destination.
Establishment of Korea Branch: Crossroads between global exhibition introduction and K-content export
Crucially, the launch of the Jeju Arena marks INCUBASE Studio’s official corporate entry into the South Korean market. Beyond operating the mega-venue, the company intends to establish a formal Korean branch. This new entity will not only introduce top-tier global exhibitions to South Korea but will also serve as a strategic two-way bridge, helping to export popular K-Content and K-Culture IPs to INCUBASE’s expansive global Arena network.
