Seoul has reopened a 335-meter underground passage, which had been sealed for over 40 years, as a new K-Culture Station. The tunnel, connecting Euljiro 1-ga and City Hall stations on Seoul Metro Line 2, officially reopened on Monday with an immersive exhibition titled "COSMOS." The exhibition, marking the 20th anniversary of K-pop group BIGBANG, features digital portraits of the group's members, bright yellow crowns symbolizing the band, and various media art installations.
Mayor Oh Se-hoon highlighted the significance of the project, noting that the space had remained closed for decades while serving as a busy transit hub.
