As autumn’s crisp air sets in, the Seoul Metropolitan Government has lined up a month-long series of festivities to celebrate Hangeul Day. The celebration kicks off this Friday and centers around two prominent venues along the Han River: Hangang PlayPlace at Ttukseom Hangang Park and Gwangjin Bridge 8th Avenue.
On Friday, Hangang PlayPlace is scheduled to transform into an interactive Hangeul Playground, commencing at 1 p.m. Visitors to the complex will embark on scavenger hunts in search of hidden letters, engage in painting traditional magnet sets, and create personalized mother-of-pearl bookmarked name tags. A riverfront reading lounge, stocked with books on Korean culture, will provide a serene haven for readers.
Simultaneously, the third floor will showcase back-to-back screenings of classic Korean films, including the renowned war drama TaeGukGi.
The festivities continue well into the evening. After the daytime events, the celebrations will persist late into the night, offering a variety of activities and entertainment options for all ages.
