Make-up services and changing area were also incorporated to the design of the café for visitors who are joining “Dating in the Dark” at the Beauty Café. Participants were served with modernized Korean fusion dishes as if they’re at a restaurant. 1-to-1 size posters and props of N-Sonic and Myname had been installed along the two sides of the exhibition area for photo-shooting to ease the crave from the die-hard fans.
