Seoul City Opens 'Seoul-On' Video Studio at DDP

International Conferences, Forums, Lectures, Talk Shows, and Various Online Events Available
Reduce Venue Rental Fees and Open to Public and Private Sectors... Advance Reservation System Starts from the 20th

[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Cheol-young] The Seoul Metropolitan Government announced on the 13th that it will open the permanent video conferencing studio "Seoul-On" on the 2nd floor of the Sallimteo at Dongdaemun Design Plaza (DDP) on the 15th.

This video studio is equipped with the latest systems including the largest LED display dedicated to video conferencing among public institutions, measuring 35 meters in length, high-resolution video equipment, and audio lighting facilities. It can host various online and offline events such as contactless events, talk shows, meetings, forums, and lectures.

With the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic increasing video conferencing and contactless events, it helps reduce rental fees required for event hosting. Located within DDP, a transportation hub served by subway lines 2, 4, and 5, it also offers excellent accessibility and convenience.

"Seoul-On" covers an exclusive area of 726㎡ (approximately 220 pyeong) and is largely composed of the video studio and auxiliary facilities. The interior design features curved surfaces to harmonize with the irregular architecture of DDP. Universal design principles have been applied throughout the facility to ensure safety and convenience.

The video studio (378.22㎡) is equipped with a 35-meter-long giant LED display (35m length x 2.5m height). It also has high-resolution video equipment, newsroom-level state-of-the-art audio and lighting facilities, and a relay system, enabling real-time video broadcasting at any time.

In particular, to actively utilize the studio even after the end of COVID-19, part of the display (14m) is designed to be movable, allowing space adjustment according to the event. This enables seating arrangements for up to 120 people, making it suitable for various events such as talk shows, meetings, forums, and lectures.

The auxiliary facilities include a video conference room, interpretation room, waiting room, makeup room, dressing room, and lounge. The video conference room (114.18㎡) is equipped with a large display (7.3m length x 2m height), allowing contactless meetings and seminars for about 10 people. Essential auxiliary facilities such as waiting rooms, makeup rooms, dressing rooms, and a lounge for rest are fully equipped, enabling event preparation, progress, and hosting all in one space.

Public institutions, private companies, and citizens wishing to use the video studio and conference room can make reservations through the DDP website. Reservations will be available from the 20th. For related inquiries, contact the Rental and Leasing Team of the DDP Operations Headquarters at the Seoul Design Foundation.

Lee Hye-young, Director of the Seoul City Design Policy Division, said, "DDP, where the video studio is located, is a world-renowned architectural work designed by Zaha Hadid to foster design culture and industry, featuring elegant curved surfaces and an internal and external structure open in all directions, which aligns with the concept of 'Seoul-On' promoting contactless communication." She added, "With convenient transportation and fully equipped auxiliary facilities necessary for events, we expect 'Seoul-On' to establish itself as Seoul's representative video studio."
