Additionally, the store in Seoul will also provide teaching programs and hands-on sessions with drone experts where people can learn how to safely operate drone technologies, according to a report by Yonhap News.

Manager of DJI Korea Moon Tae-hyun said, "With more and more people consuming video content on their mobile devices and the growing community of photographers and content creators, DJI sees Korea as a market with strong potential,"

"We want to provide a truly unique experience for anyone who walks into our new store. Whether you are a professional looking for the latest aerial-imaging equipment, or curious and looking for your first drone, you will get to experience our technology up close and in person." Tae-hyun added.

The latest product by DJI is the Phantom 4 drone which costs $1,675 in the South Korean market. In the U.S., the new drone comes with a price tag of $1,399, available via DJI's official website and exclusively on Apple's online store.
