The Korea Times reports that Seoul residents and visitors will have a unique opportunity to walk across Jamsil Bridge at sunrise this month, as part of a popular weekend fitness initiative by the Seoul Metropolitan Government. The "Swieom-Swieom Morning" event will take place on two upcoming Sundays, November 8 and November 22, from 7 a.m. to 9 a.m. The program, named after the Korean phrase "swieom-swieom" which means to take it easy and move at a gentle pace, aims to offer urbanites a slow-paced weekend routine in a fast-paced metropolis.
Participants will embark on a 5-kilometer round-trip course starting at the southern end of the bridge, which spans the iconic Han River to connect Songpa and Gwangjin districts in eastern Seoul.
