The opening celebration took place on June 7 with VIP guests from various industries, including art, fashion, and architecture. The event included presentations about Hyundai's Heritage project, the exhibition, and the RETRACE Series, and also featured a performance from the band Jannabi.

Joining the event were Euisun Chung, Executive Chair of Hyundai Motor Group, Jaehoon Chang, President and CEO of Hyundai Motor Company, and many former members of Hyundai who enabled the creation of Pony.

The exhibition follows the inaugural hyundai reunion event in Lake Como, Italy in May, where the restored pony coupe concept was unveiled nearly 50 years after its debut at the 1974 Turin Motor Show.

'PONY, the timeless' emphasizes Hyundai's human-centered philosophy that was established by the company's Founding Chairman Ju-yung Chung. The exhibition is an opportunity to see how Hyundai Motor got started and grew over the years alongside the development of the country. Visitors are guided through Pony's timeline from multiple angles in terms of historical background, archiving, design and philosophy.

Hyundai Motor has been actively communicating its brand heritage in various formats, including the Pony documentary film 'the next chapter ' released earlier this month. The company also newly released the film 'a pony tale ' about a young man in the Netherlands who still drives the Pony for his daily commutes.

'PONY, the timeless' exhibition will be open to public until August 6 at Hyundai Motorstudio Seoul, and tickets can be reserved here .
