History [ edit ]

The plan was first proposed in 2008. In January 2013, Korea Tourism Organization (KTO) was contracted to build the multiple complexes. Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism announced a US$635.18 million project to support the construction of a concert arena dedicated to hosting K-pop performances, with them aim of attracting more tourists and to support the spread of Hallyu . ^[2]

In December 2013, it was reported that the project has made little progress and its two core projects were put on hold. The government announced that the K-pop arena is postponed due to feasibility study being delayed. The construction of MICE complex was also stopped. ^[3] MVL Hotel Kintex also opened in Ilsan . The hotel is located in the heart of Hallyuworld.. ^[4]

In 2017, CJ ENM announced that it will invest 1.4 trillion won (US$1.2 billion) within HallyuWorld for the construction of commercial facilities on 300,000 square meters of land. ^[5]
