Hyundai Motor Opens Flagship Brand Showroom in Seoul

|Hyundai Motor reinforces its brand management initiative by opening a flagship brand showroom to communicate with customers |

|Hyundai Motor to open more brand showrooms in major global cities |

|Brand showrooms will propose coffee, conversation, culture |

| |

|May 9, 2014 – Hyundai Motor Company, the fastest-growing automaker by brand value, today opened “Hyundai Motorstudio” in Gangnam, one of |

|Seoul's busiest districts. The flagship brand showroom, Hyundai Motor’s first, features a series of newly-curated retail and cultural |

|experiences, as well as exhibits that engage visitors and communicate the company’s future brand direction and aspirations. |

| |

|“Our goal is to provide an environment where customers can naturally experience our Modern Premium brand values,” said Won-Hong Cho, Hyundai |

|Motor’s Chief Marketing Officer. “Every detail within Hyundai Motorstudio was designed to create synergy towards making our brand experience a |

|culture in itself.” |

| |

|Both the space and the program of the flagship brand showroom suggest a new kind of driving culture. Just as the customer’s experience of |

|Hyundai begins long before he sets foot in one of its cars, Hyundai Motorstudio is based on the concept that its automobiles are not simply an |

|assembly of parts, but an evolution of steel and engineering. Beginning with the production of the raw materials themselves, Hyundai crafts |

|each new model essentially from scratch. It then hones its products to perfection, as witnessed in the undercarriage of the new Genesis. |

| |

|Conceived by Eulho Suh of Suh Architects, Suh used 36,000 meters of steel pipes and anodized steel panels supplied by affiliates within the |

|Hyundai Motor Group to create the interior and exterior architecture. Thus, the store’s material expression represents Hyundai Motor’s vast |

|capacity for industrial production and innovation. |

| |

|The world’s first ‘Car Rotators’ were also designed internally and installed for the showroom, allowing nine, full-size Genesis models to |

|create the facade and central display of the building. The angle of each car will be adjusted every month, allowing customers to observe each |

|car from every angle first-hand, including their undercarriages. |

| |

|Furthermore, the building itself will be utilized as an art gallery and a venue for communication with customers. The first exhibition at the |

|store is ‘Principle of Motion’ by a London-based art group UVA(United Visual Artists). This video installation reinterprets the experience of |

|driving through Korea through dynamic, moving patterns and rhythms. Having hired its own curator, Hyundai Motorstudio will continue to showcase|

|a wide range of collaborated works with world-renowned artists. |

| |

|Consisting of five floors, the studio also includes an auto library, a kids’ lounge, a premium customer lounge, a car-tuning lounge, a gallery |

|and a cafe to relax and linger. Specially-trained staff and curators will be on hand to help visitors enjoy each of its spaces and listen to |

|customer feedback. With its attention to detail and unique design and program, Hyundai Motorstudio is expected to become one of Southern |

|Seoul’s landmarks. |

| |

|Additionally, Hyundai Motor will expand its flagship brand showroom in other global cities, starting with one in Moscow in the second half of |

|this year. With each new venue, Hyundai Motor will offer visitors a glimpse into more than its cars. |
