The Seoul Grand Hyatt hotel was the official location for the world premiere of K9, Kia’s new luxury sedan. The event took place last Wednesday and the atmosphere was bustling with excitement and high anticipation for the K9 to be finally unveiled from its silky gray covers. Here’s a photo summary and recap of the evening’s events for all of our Kia-Buzz readers out there, and be sure to stay tuned for a follow-up Kia TV episode that will highlight the debut as well.

After some snacks, refreshments and opening speeches by Kia management and designers, it was time to stop teasing and finally reveal the K9.

The event took place in a state of the art auditorium that set the mood with concert like lights, visuals and audio. After an impressive opening video, two K9s slowly rolled onto the stage, while three other K9s, displayed outside the auditorium, were simultaneously unveiled.

The debut went off without a hitch, and we wish all of our Kia-Buzz readers could have been there to witness the event. We’re going to announce overseas markets soon along with the official overseas model name, so hold tight.
