  "summary": "The Seoul Metropolitan Government has announced the inaugural recipients of the 2026 Seoul Design Honors, recognizing ten individuals and companies for their contributions to public spaces, urban design standards, and the city's identity. The ceremony, held at City Hall, presented mayoral commendations to four individuals and six companies, selected from 49 nominations. The honorees were chosen based on their work that centers people in urban design, inspired by the angbuilgu, an ancient sundial, and Hunminjeongeum, the original Korean alphabet. The recipients include Kim Hyun-jung, Jung Mi, Ahn Jang-won, and Cho Yong-jun, whose projects have significantly impacted major public spaces and design standards in Seoul, such as the Han River waterfront, landmark building lighting designs, safety design guidelines, and public information systems.",
