“Seoul, Delightful City”

In December 2009, Gwanghwamun Square transforms itself into the 'Square of Lights'.

The “2009 Seoul Festival of Lights” will be much more than just the artistic shaping of sparkling lights; it will be a jubilee bringing media art - the convergence of culture and technology - closer to our daily surroundings.

The festival consists of five themes of light: representing the symbolic significance of Gwanghwamun as the heart of Seoul's 600 year history and as the center of Korea; shows our cultural archetype; projects the present Seoul communicating via creativity and culture. imparts hopes for tomorrow through creation of new light that incorporates history, culture and communication. Lastly, emanates rest and composure for the season’s greetings.

The city of Seoul invites you to the fantastic world of lights.
