Beauty of Joseon had strong online momentum. The opportunity was to bring that energy into the real world, helping shoppers understand the brand’s Korean skincare heritage, try the products properly and continue the journey into Boots.
Across three activity days at Westfield Stratford City, N2O created a high-footfall pop-up directly outside Boots, blending product education, sampling and a simplified Yutnori game inspired by Korean tradition.
The result: 4,320 customers sampled and engaged, 4,245 played the game, and confirmed Boots store manager data showed £10.5k in sales and 780+ units sold across the first two reported days. Not bad for three days in a shopping centre.
Beauty of Joseon needed to grow awareness in a busy retail environment and turn curiosity into purchase. The brief was clear: introduce and educate shoppers, create an engaging experience, build brand awareness and drive retail conversion.
The activation also needed to make the brand’s Hanbang-inspired skincare feel accessible, not over-explained. With a new product, Revive Firming Moisturiser, being showcased offline for the first time, the experience had to balance education, product trial and a strong reason to buy.

N2O designed a clean, premium pop-up in a central position at Westfield Stratford City, located directly outside Boots to create a natural link between experience and purchase.
The journey was simple and purposeful. Shoppers were welcomed into the space, introduced to Beauty of Joseon’s heritage and product benefits, guided through product trial, invited to play a simplified Yutnori game, then encouraged to visit Boots to purchase.
The Yutnori mechanic gave the activation its cultural hook and its crowd-pulling moment. One throw of the sticks gave shoppers the chance to win Beauty of Joseon prizes, including Ginseng Retinol Cream and Relief Sun SPF. It was easy to understand, quick to play and made the stand feel active all day.
Clear zoning across entry, education, game and exit helped manage queues, reduce friction and keep people moving through the full experience without losing the premium feel.

A culturally rooted, commercially focused experience that helped Beauty of Joseon move from online buzz to real-world beauty baskets. Strategy-led. Insight-driven. Creatively executed. Built for real-world impact.
