Seoul residents and tourists will soon have a unique chance to walk across one of the city's most bustling vehicular bridges at sunrise. The Seoul Metropolitan Government has announced plans to host the "Swieom-Swieom Morning" event on Jamsil Bridge on two Saturdays in November, from 7 a.m. to 9 a.m. The program is inspired by the Korean phrase "swieom-swieom," which loosely translates to "taking it easy" or "moving at a gentle, unhurried pace."
In a city known for its high-stress lifestyle, the initiative aims to provide a relaxing weekend routine for urbanites. The event is not a race, but rather a leisurely outing that encourages a more relaxed lifestyle. Participants will traverse a 5-kilometer round-trip path, starting at the southern end of the bridge that connects Songpa and Gwangjin districts across the Han River.
