[Asia Economy Reporter Jo In-kyung] On the 16th, the Seoul Metropolitan Government announced that it will convey the gratitude and respect of Seoul citizens to the dedication of medical staff who have been tirelessly fulfilling their duties in the prevention and treatment of the novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19) by utilizing lighting in public and private facilities.


Starting that night, the city plans to display blue lighting symbolizing medical personnel and messages of thanks at public offices and private facilities.


Beginning with representative Seoul facilities such as Seoul City Hall and Seoul 7017, the initiative will gradually expand over a month to include Han River bridges like Yanghwa Bridge and Jamsil Railway Bridge, as well as the World Cup Stadium.


Private facilities have also expressed their intention to participate in this meaningful campaign. Namsan N Tower, a symbol of Seoul, will feature blue lighting from the night of the 16th, and Lotte World Tower in Jamsil will display messages of gratitude and support for medical staff (♡Hero♡).


Additionally, from the 24th, a visual message saying "We’re All Heroes!" will be displayed on the lawn at Seoul Plaza to express gratitude to Seoul citizens who have actively participated in social distancing and other efforts to overcome COVID-19.



Park Won-soon, Mayor of Seoul, stated, "I ask for the participation of all sectors in this Blue Lighting Campaign to express our gratitude for the dedication and hard work of medical staff who are fighting on the front lines today amid COVID-19," and emphasized, "The strength to overcome this difficult time is none other than the citizens. The best vaccine is the citizens of Seoul."
