The robots appeared at the head of King Jeongjo's royal carriage procession wearing Joseon-era military official attire and red 'chollik' robes.
The Hwaseong section was a reenactment event connected to the '2026 Jeongjo Filial Piety Culture Festival,' and more than 800 citizens marched toward Yungneung.
According to YH, four humanoid robots were deployed on the Hwaseong section of the '2026 King Jeongjo Joint Reenactment of the Royal Procession' on the 4th. The Hwaseong section procession was organized by Hwaseong City in connection with the '2026 Jeongjo Filial Piety Culture Festival.' The event recreated the final leg of King Jeongjo's 'Eulyu-year royal journey' in 1795.
The Eulyu-year royal journey was held to mark Queen Hyegyeonggung Hong's 60th birthday and was also a journey to visit the tomb of his father, Crown Prince Sado. More than 800 citizens took part in this year's event and marched toward Yungneung.
YH deployed 4 humanoid robots for the event and dressed them in Joseon-era military official attire. Wearing red 'chollik' robes, the robots appeared at the head of King Jeongjo's royal carriage procession. This created a scene that combined traditional culture and robot technology.
The robots were stationed in the modern section from Dongtan Central Park and in the Jeongjohyo Park section. They were also placed at the front of the procession, taking on the role of warriors escorting King Jeongjo's royal carriage. YH's CEO is Son Jeong-ik.
The Hwaseong section consisted of the traditional section from Hwanggye-dong to Hyunchung Park, the modern section from Dongtan Central Park to Hyunchung Park, and the future section from Hyunchung Park to Yungneung, with the flow of time from past to present to future reflected in the procession's theme.
The participation of humanoid robots in traditional attire reinforced the event's concept. YH did not simply display the humanoid robots but deployed them in the actual royal procession, giving them costumes and roles suited to the historical background.
YH said the move showed new possibilities for using robot technology in traditional cultural events. YH CEO Son Jeong-ik said it was meaningful to have the company's robots join the procession as escort warriors in a royal march reflecting King Jeongjo's filial devotion, and added that the company would continue working to expand public access to traditional culture through robot technology.
'2026 King Jeongjo Joint Reenactment of the Royal Procession' was divided into sections operated by local governments, including Seoul, Suwon, and Hwaseong, with routes including Gyeongbokgung to Nodeul Island in the Seoul section, the area around Suwon Hwaseong in the Suwon section, and the Hwaseong section. In the Hwaseong section, after arriving at Jeongjohyo Park, the royal procession for the ancestral mountain ritual continued to Yungneung, and the event concluded with the completion of the Hyunryungwon memorial rite.
