2025 Seoul Lantern Festival

2025 Gwanghwamun Market

Major Light Installations

The Moment of Lighting

In March 1887, the first electric light illuminated Geoncheonggung Palace at Gyeongbokgung. This magical moment is recreated through LED displays and hanji lanterns. Experience the wonder of the very first lighting, just as people did long ago.

Cheonggye Plaza → Gwangtonggyo Bridge

Korean traditional hat : Gat

This lighting display is inspired by the ‘gat’—the traditional hat worn by Joseon-era scholars—reinterpreted as a trendy motif in the Netflix animation “K-Pop Demon Hunters,” which draws on Korean culture. The result is a presentation of global Korean culture that blends tradition and modernity.

Light of Cheonggye : The Past of Ceonggyecheon

Created as a special exhibition piece for the Seoul Lantern Festival to celebrate the 20th anniversary of Cheonggyecheon’s restoration, this work gently sheds light on the lives of ordinary people through “Panjachon” and “Supyoseok,” alongside Seoul’s modern history. It captures the stories of those who held onto hope and the bustling community of Cheonggyecheon in the 1950s and 1960s, allowing visitors to feel close to the valuable traces of life. In the past, the Supyoseok stone was set up along Cheonggyecheon to measure water levels.

The Aurora of Light

The area beneath Samilgyo Bridge is transformed with projections and lasers, allowing visitors to see and enjoy the aurora at Cheonggyecheon.

Royal Procession

Voted the number one sculpture people want to see again at the 2024 Seoul Lantern Festival! Inspired by the grand royal procession of the Jongmyo Daeje, one of the major ceremonies, and the royal palanquin parade of the Joseon Dynasty, this display allows visitors to enjoy a dazzling performance of light where tradition and modernity blend together in historic Seoul (Hanyang).
