The organizing committee for AGF, Korea's largest animation and game festival, has released an official digest video capturing the vibrant energy of 'AGF 2025,' which was held last year on the largest scale in the event's history.

This digest video condenses the three days of 'AGF 2025,' held from Friday, December 5, to Sunday, December 7, at KINTEX Exhibition Center 1 in Ilsan, into a single feature. It showcases the bustling booths filling Halls 1 through 5, immersive content that brought popular IP worlds to life, pop-up stores featuring exclusive merchandise, the iconic cosplay scene, and the RED and BLUE stages, where voice actor talk shows and mini-live performances kept the festival's energy high. The video brings the cheers of the 100k attendees who packed KINTEX directly to the screen.

The domestic subculture fandom is no longer content with just consuming works. As global hits like 'Attack on Titan,' 'Demon Slayer,' 'Chainsaw Man,' and the 'Solo Leveling' series continue to expand their fan bases in Korea, consumption has evolved beyond mere viewing to include 'open runs' for limited-edition goods, long-distance shopping trips, and visiting spaces that recreate the worlds of these works. With the increase in offline touchpoints like pop-up stores, the way fans enjoy content has shifted from sitting in front of a monitor to hands-on, participatory experiences. Gaming, too, is moving beyond a solitary experience toward a culture where fans connect and share the atmosphere with others who love the same IP.

AGF sits at the heart of this movement. It allows fans to walk through the worlds of their favorite works in large-scale booths that bring game and animation settings to life, and to meet voice actors and virtual creators they once only saw on screens. Stage programs, where artists and audiences connect in real time, transform solitary content consumption into a shared experience. The ability to bring these scattered offline experiences together under one roof for three days is exactly why AGF is in the spotlight.

As a result, AGF surpassed 100k official attendees (100518) for the first time last year, marking a record-breaking year with a dramatic 40% growth compared to the previous year. With a massive influx of major domestic and international game companies and globally popular IPs, the event has taken a significant leap forward in both scale and lineup. Having evolved beyond a simple exhibition into a space where fans and brands connect directly, AGF is leading the expansion of related events and contributing to the growth of the domestic subculture festival market. As the demand for experiential content continues to rise, anticipation for this year's 'AGF 2026' is already building.

'AGF 2026,' the premier festival for subculture fans in Korea, will be held from Friday, December 4, to Sunday, December 6, 2026, at KINTEX Exhibition Center 1 in Ilsan, and is set to welcome visitors with even more special and diverse content.
