X2

Inspired by the belief that football is a catalyst for culture, X2 PeaceMinusOne united visionary brand PeaceMinusOne, the Korea Football Association, and Nike Korea's SCI partner WeMeetUp to turn World Cup momentum into lasting cultural impact. Together, we translated the energy of Korean football into experiences that connected sport, creativity and community, advancing a shared ambition to bring Seoul to the world while creating meaningful opportunities for the next generation to see themselves in the future of the game.

To amplify the campaign's central theme of "One Pulse", we selected Seoul's iconic 63Building as its physical beacon. Before unveiling the campaign assets, Nike and PeaceMinusOne introduced a teaser film that reimagined the building's facade as a virtual OOH installation, combining football-inspired storytelling with a bold expression of design innovation and cultural influence of our talents such as G-Dragon, Karina and HeeChan Hwang.

Launched across the NikeSeoul and PeaceMinusOne IG channels, the teaser captivated fans across football, culture and entertainment, generating significant buzz and heightening anticipation for PeaceMinusOne's X2 football journey originated from Seoul to the World.

Bridging the emotional energy of the WC with Football's influence on culture and style, the campaign united a diverse cast of icons, including G-Dragon, Karina, HeeChan Hwang and DongGook Lee. Together, they embodied a shared passion for the game that transcend generations, disciplines, and audiences.

Unveiled across Nike Football, Nike Sportswear, KFA and talent's own social channels, the campaign quickly gained widespread attention, delivering some of the strongest engagement and cultural impact within the X2 campaign series.

Since opening in May 1985, the 63Building has stood as one of Seoul's most iconic landmarks. Yet despite its prominence on the city skyline, its uppermost floor had never been accessible to the public, having long been reserved for government and military purposes.

Before the official public opening of the top floor and rooftop, X2 PMO secured this rare opportunity to activate the space first as part of its storytelling platform. The takeover transformed the venue into a multi-dimensional brand experience, featuring product displays that communicated our core inspiration, an exhibition celebrating the history of KNT and local art, hands-on product trials, and even a one-time-only rooftop futsal pitch unlike anything previously seen in the city.

Situated nearly 250m above ground level, with sweeping panoramic views of Seoul, the venue itself left a lasting impression on visitors. The experience immediately generated reactions of surprise and admiration, delivering a level of scale, exclusivity, and cultural significance befitting the convergence of the Worldcup momentum, Nike and GD partnership.

The event offered special coaching sessions and match experiences for youth participants of 'WeMeetUp' of Nike Korea's SCI network. These created meaningful moments for our communities helping turn the space into more than an event venue, but a platform for inspiration that serves the future of sport.

The response was overwhelming. More than +4k visitor attended throughout the experience, validating both cultural relevance of the collaboration and power of truly once-in-a-lifetime experiences including +12k draw entries garnered at Popup event space.
