From large-scale spectacles to small-scale emotional experiences, the city has created an inclusive ecosystem that appeals to various generations and preferences. With safe and surprising nighttime content, the city is preparing to welcome both domestic and foreign tourists. The Granbell is responsible for a wide range of hotels, both urban and rural, all across Japan. The most prominent — and arguably the most impressive — is the group’s flagship, the Ginza Hotel by Granbell, whose dramatic modern form stands at the western edge of this famous commercial district.

Why Fewer South Koreans Are Choosing to Leave Anything Behind

As night fell, the duo headed to a rooftop bar overlooking the city’s iconic skyline. Savouring handcrafted cocktails, the two took in the panoramic view of the heart of Hong Kong and immersed themselves in the vibrant energy that defines Hong Kong as the city that never sleeps. Recently, the hottest content for foreign tourists has been watching baseball games and enjoying the "after-game culture."The seamless transition from stadiums to nearby nightlife offers foreign tourists a new type of K-sports tourism experience, unique to Busan. Another unique advantage is Busan’s structure as a multi-hub night tourism city.Not only traditional hotspots like Seomyeon, Haeundae, Gwangalli, and Nampo-dong, but also Dadaepo, Hwamyeong, and Sajik-dong offer accessible and enjoyable night experiences.

Each round offers unique combinations of weapons, spells, synergies, and magical tools, allowing players to create new builds and transform the fun of battle. Looking ahead, KOCCA plans to operate a Korea Pavilion at Bitsummit 2025, held in Kyoto this July, as part of its broader strategy to support K-Indie developers’ direct global expansion.

Entertainment can be public or private, involving formal, scripted performances such as theatre or concerts, or unscripted and spontaneous, as with children's games. Most forms of entertainment have persisted for centuries, evolving due to cultural, technological, and fashion changes, as seen with stage magic.

True, as Ijad Madisch, co-founder and CEO of ResearchGate points out in a recent interview, this safeguards RG from abuse, at least to an extent (Winter, 2015). Indeed, unless the prospective practitioner or community-representative collaborators are also independent or amateur researchers, with a verifiable publication record, they are unlikely to be RG members. An important finding that emerges from this review of RG’s functions is that the users are often left in the dark as to site developments. There is a public forum to discuss RG and provide feedback to staff, but it is ‘pending review’, as it has been for years, and cannot be followed. This state of affairs needs to be addressed for RG to successfully fulfil its mission of providing researchers what they need to advance their research.

Community

Finally, it must be acknowledged that the study concentrated largely on the potential reputational building features RG has and not on whether that potential has been utilized, although where such data are already obtainable and reliable – and it is patchy - we have noted it. We do know though from our own studies that the potential has not been fully realized (Nicholas et al., 2015; Jamali, Nicholas, & Herman, 2016). Many members do not fully engage with the social/community side 야부리 of the platform and tend to use it just as a resource discovery or a publications showcase. It is hoped though, that by highlighting its full range of reputational building mechanisms this will encourage researchers to become more adventurous and streetwise in their reputational ambitions. RG enables the uploading of all research-related output – data sets, grey literature, blogs, annotations, presentations, notes, drafts, negative results – the access to which is especially important in the specific case of integrative research.

With the help of the program, local production company Something Special has signed a deal with New York-based production company My Entertainment to develop two of its TV show treatments. Vitamin TV, another company that received the agency's aid, has scored deals with the local over-the-top (OTT) platform wavve to stream its variety program "Who am I," and is in the process of making a spinoff show. FormatEast, 야부리 a subsidiary company of local network SBS, also launched two shows through the Format Lab program.
