Hyundai Card DIVE is an app that unifies the full range of cultural assets Hyundai Card has built — the Library, Super Concert, Culture Project, and more — into one place. It started from the recognition that too many separate touchpoints were fragmenting communication, leaving these cultural investments under-recognized relative to what the company had put into them.

We first defined why customers would use it and why the company was building it, then narrowed that down to two goals.

Value proposition: what Hyundai Card and users each want, and a loop of curation, alerts, offline, participation and rewards

Goals

  1. A window that captures broader cultural trends,
  2. and a tool that elevates the experience of the spaces and concerts themselves.

We built user scenarios for each cultural space, broke them down into individual features, and drafted the menu structure from there.

Cooking Library visit scenario: book a class from picks, get a reminder, visit and review, recommend a book, earn a reward
Feature map: a mind map branching into features for each space, such as the libraries and concert venues, plus culture and life

The design was then validated through concept testing, acceptance testing, and usability testing.

Design process: concept test, key screens, high-fidelity prototype, user test, then final design

Final Design

The main feed was designed around the concept of “viewing the world through a card,” and its content modules follow the same card proportions. The app itself became a tool and admission ticket at the Library and concert venues — the Library, once accessible only to Hyundai Card holders, became a space anyone could enter simply by installing the app.

Content cards on the main feed that follow the exact proportions of a physical credit card
The modules that make up content detail screens, letting authors combine them freely while keeping one tone
Menus for the Design Library: an audio guide, space info with book search and booking, and a check-in barcode for entry
Menus for the Super Concert: a seat-finding map, show info, and the expected set list with lyrics

Outcomes

The app won the 2019 iF Design Award as a pre-launch concept. After a beta in July 2019, it officially launched in December and reached 1 million downloads within 3 months of the official launch — a milestone we had expected to take over a year.
