The Seoul Metropolitan Government is organizing a series of night-lit events, concerts, and outdoor activities along the Han River to celebrate Hangeul Day and the arrival of autumn. The festivities kick off on Friday at two prominent riverfront venues: Hangang PlayPlace at Ttukseom Hangang Park and Gwangjin Bridge 8th Avenue.
Hangeul Day, which commemorates the creation of the Korean alphabet, will be celebrated with a tribute at Hangang PlayPlace beginning at 1 p.m. The area will transform into an interactive Hangeul Playground, where visitors can engage in scavenger hunts for hidden letters, paint traditional magnet sets, or create personalized mother-of-pearl bookmarked name tags.
A riverfront reading lounge featuring books on Korean culture will provide a tranquil space for visitors to relax, while the third floor will showcase a series of classic Korean films, including the renowned war drama TaeGukGi.
The celebration will extend into the evening, offering a vibrant atmosphere for attendees to enjoy the cultural festivities along the Han River.
