I love non-humans; watched the whole parade from 2 PM to 8:20 PM and got hooked.
Parade Concept: When night falls on the park, the gates to a bizarre world open and non-human entities emerge. These non-humans appear at Lotte World after closing when the darkness deepens. They perform in the parade, and the general public knows them as 'performers.' In reality, they are actual non-human entities. These characters are incredibly popular! People visit Lotte World just to see them. ☆Practical Leader: Showman Executives(?): Vesper, Candra, Roselle, Dream Rider Minions(??): Pagliacci (Ppis)☆ Lotte World operating hours are 9:00 AM to 10:00 PM. The Dark Fantasy Festival takes place every evening starting at 8:20 PM. I took the photos myself! I included the fan service the Queen gave me lol. Warning: quality is bad because it's a phone camera ⚠️ Settings include my personal bias, so what.
Female-type non-human. Height is about 260cm. Large black hands and a dress with pierrot-inspired tones. She wears a mask with a long neck and blacked-out eye areas featuring curved triangular patterns. She wears an asymmetrical two-pronged jester hat. Playful but strict when controlling the Ppis. The Queen of the Pagliacci. The only one with subordinates under her direct command.
Male-type non-human. Height is about 190cm. A black top hat with black feathers. His top features a red, black, and white argyle/diamond pattern extending to the shoulders and arms with a ruffle at the neck. Bottoms are black wide-leg pants with metallic chain decorations at the waist. White gloves with large ruffles at the wrists. Pale skin with red around the eyes and red star-shaped points on each cheek. He performs from a parade car that moves automatically along a set route. He only steps down for the opening, middle, and epilogue performances. Otherwise, he interacts with people from the car as he passes. Sly and treats everything like a joke, but becomes serious when necessary, giving off a vibe of controlling and binding every situation. The practical leader of this place.
Male-type non-human. Height is 220cm. A gas lamp head (object head) instead of a face, with a long, slender silhouette and ornate tailcoat. Primarily black and navy blue. Gentlemanly, uses polite speech, and enjoys escorting lost people. A true gentleman. A high-ranking non-human.
Female-type non-human. Height is about 180cm. A rose flower head (object head) instead of a face. There is one large eye with a black pupil in the center of the flower. Wears a dark green bell-line dress reminiscent of a famous noble lady in high society, with black gloves and balloon sleeves. Prickly and indifferent but helps out unexpectedly—the epitome of a tsundere. Has a noble lady vibe.
Female-type non-human. Height is about 180cm. A lit candle head (object head) with dripping wax instead of a face. The flame isn't hot. Wears a mermaid dress with trumpet sleeves in dark navy and white with gold accents. A bubbly, sunshine-like female lead vibe? Feels like the only daughter of a Duke.
There are many of them. Includes both female and male types. Height is about 165cm. They wear masks that are white with black eye and mouth areas. They wear white clothes with black stripes. Playful, cute, and quite charming in their own way! They are particularly expressive with their emotions. They especially follow Dream Rider. However, they hesitate if it's an order from Showman. If caught between Showman's order vs. Dream Rider's order, they postpone the less important one. Commonly called: Ppi
Wow, I came to Lotte World to find my inner child, but I ended up with these underground-vibe non-humans instead.
Man, this parade is seriously intense. Watching this Dark Fantasy Festival... yeah, non-humans are the best. I'm watching in total awe with my hand over my mouth, and I guess my reactions are great because they're all giving me fan service. Nice! But wait... why are they all only looking at me? Is this right?
