G-Star, South Korea\'s largest game exhibition, plans to broaden its scope to AI, webtoons and mobility while expanding organiser-led in-house content to reduce dependence on participating game studios. The organisers named expansion of industry and audience reach and increased in-house content as key strategies for G-Star 2026, to be held in Busan in November. AI story platform Crack will be main sponsor, and Hyundai Motor will run a special programme.

Mobility platform Whistle has added a parking and stopping enforcement alert service in Busan\'s Gangseo district, expanding its Busan-area coverage to 14 of the city’s 16 districts. The service sends drivers advance alerts before illegal parking enforcement to encourage moving vehicles and reduce the likelihood of fines. As of July, the service has 6.5 million cumulative users. Once registered, users can receive alerts in partnered areas nationwide, including Busan.
