REAL HUMAN
RACE

Original Seoul format, created and led in-house by Myounghee Kang

SEOUL / A LITTLE AIR, A LOT OF LIFE
01 / THE BRIEF

START WITH
A SHARED PACE

World wanted to make its idea of being human tangible to young Korean audiences. Seoul’s running culture offered a shared ritual: people showing up, moving together and feeling a collective energy.

The goal: turn that energy into participation with World. I created a programme with six Seoul running communities, making verified the starting point for a run together.

Runners tried the product, shared their experience, and the Seoul format later travelled to London.

SIX COMMUNITIES
MOVING AS ONE

Six Seoul running communities came together at Cavehouse. The experience connected digital proof of being human with something you could feel: a room full of people, moving as one.

THE OFFLINE JOURNEY

YOUR ID
YOUR STARTING LINE

After creating an -verified World ID, runners used it for a QR check-in to receive their Real Human Kit. They changed into their gear, warmed up together and headed out as a group.

  1. 01 Create an Orb-verified World ID
  2. 02 Check in by QR with that ID
  3. 03 Collect the Real Human Kit & change
  4. 04 Warm up & run together

KIT UP
FEEL PART OF IT

World-branded sportswear, socks, a bag and an energy drink equipped runners for the morning. Collecting the kit and changing together turned verification into a shared, physical experience.

THE RUN
KEPT TRAVELLING

Running and lifestyle creators joined the warm-up and group run, then shared the energy in their own voice. Playful running copy and photo moments gave them a recognisable campaign setting to make their own.
