CURRENT EVENT Search Your Seoul 🇰🇷

I love the overall theme and the story so far, but I gotta agree that dorm and avis look disjointed somehow - I see you guys were going for the normal kpop, but also demon hunter kpop, BUT ALSO tourists in Seoul vibe, which meshed really weird.
My fav avi is the first story one, so I'm pretty happy, but the rest is meh, so I won't be missing much.

I totally agree that I can see where they were going, too. I think this is a case of trying to please a lot of people about the variety of experiences that Korea can offer and what different players might want to see in a Korea hunt. Unfortunately this time it just didn't mesh as well as planned.

Personally I would've preferred to see this maybe broken into 2 different hunts as a regular Seoul tourism vibe and then as a K-Pop Demon Hunters inspired hunt (obviously not back-to-back). I only say these 2 because we recently had both a K-Pop idols inspired battle pass earlier this year, as well as a K-Pop idol hunt in 2024 I believe.
 
I'm not really getting the K-pop demon hunters vibe from the hunt that everyone else is talking about...unless you're referring to the two middle lb avatars?
They are what makes it feel disjointed to me.
 
In the sake of being controversial, I do wish that any specific country/culture inspired hunts were more authentic and not always based on western societies interpretation.
I get that it might be a certain niche, but I wouldn't mind actually learning something on this game instead of it just always being filled with brainrot.
I know I know 🙄 I'm asking too much of ata. It's just a phone app. Blah blah blah.
 
I wondered if there was culturally significant to this date period for korea but i think their thanksgiving is late september? So I’m guessing it’s just random or an early celebration for that and ata is gonna do tourism centered hunts again maybe idk LOL and from what i’m reading if it’s kpop demon hunters inspired, wasn’t it the previous battlepass? 🤷🏻‍♀️
 
adding to the collection of comments, it does feel like you had a bunch of different ideas and meshed it into one big generic South Korean hunt. i also agree with what someone said earlier, making more authentic hunts when about a country/culture specifically.

This !!! I understand creative freedom but what I don’t understand is why there was a need to stray from the actual concept (eg. Korea). I’ve been looking forward to EA/SEA hunts because they rarely push one out outside Asian holidays (eg. LNY). Korea has a lot of cool stuff to offer without the need to mesh designs, why deviate from that?

If this was supposed to be inspired by KPop then stick to that. If this was supposed to be folklore from Korea then stick to that. Because if you were actually serious in blending all these ideas together, the least you could do is respect the culture you drew inspiration from.
 
As someone who JUST personally visited South Korea . . . This is almost painful to look at.
Theres so much RICH designs that you could have pulled from any of the events currently taking place- like boo you could have done a South Korean Beauty hunt, or traditional hunt, or whatever weird [as someone else said] diet K-Pop demon hunters hunt some of these avis look like they belong to.

Outfits look terrible, messy, noncohesive, and just honestly looks super slapped together.

Ive been disappointed in a lot of hunts but after actually SEEING Seoul this feels so so so basic and faded compared to what it could have been.
 
🫤 I mean. It's cute if you take each element separately, but I don't really see any cohesion between dorm and avatars or even between furni pieces themselves or avatars themselves. I don't know. As I said it's cute and everything is technically well executed, but either I don't understand the theme or there's something missing.
