“Someday in Jeju,” introduced last September in innisfree’s flagship stores in Seoul and Shanghai, invites customers to don a pair of VR goggles and strap a heart-rate monitor on their index finger.

“I have a place I want to go with you,” he whispers, reaching out a hand to lead the user through the beautiful green tea plantations and forests of Jeju island, a Unesco World Heritage site that’s also where innisfree originated.

A film of one swooning user going through the VR experience, where her heartbeat rate doubles to 179 beats per minute, has garnered 7 million views on YouTube and social media platform SNS.

Added Eun-A Seol, CCO of PostVisual: “We will continue to create captivating, and stimulating VR content that will break down the boundaries between the real and virtual world.”

“Someday in Jeju” follows another VR work by PostVisual for innisfree, “Jeju Flying Bike.” Customers to innisfree’s store in Shanghai Disneyland got to climb onto a stationary bike, don VR goggles and “fly” to Jeju Island.

“Someday in Jeju” is being rolled out to innisfree stores in other Asian cities.
