Gwangjin-gu Creates 'Street of Light for Wishes and Hope'... Embedding Hope in Warm Light

Installation of Various Lighting Installations Around Gwangjin Bridge North End, Gwangjin Supnaru, and Achasan Eoullim Square

[Asia Economy Reporter Jongil Park] Gwangjin-gu (Mayor Kim Seon-gap) has created the ‘Street of Light for Wishes and Hope’ around Gwangjang-dong to welcome the New Year of the Black Tiger.

This light street was established in three locations: the north end of Gwangjin Bridge, Gwangjin Supnaru, and Achasan Eoullim Square, to convey warm messages such as dreams, wishes, and hope through light. It consists of ▲Five-colored Starlight Love Street ▲Dream and Hope Light Plaza ▲Wish Fulfillment Path.

First, the ‘Five-colored Starlight Love Street’ on Gwangjin Bridge features various light installations representing loved ones such as family, couples, and friends, including a full moon shadow photo zone and a lovers’ love photo zone, attracting the curiosity of many couples.

At Gwangjin Supnaru, white light trees, 1,000 LED white roses, stars wishing for success and health, and jewel-like light installations have been set up, beautifully decorated under the theme of ‘Dream and Hope Light Plaza.’

Finally, at Achasan Eoullim Square, the ‘Wish Fulfillment Path’ has been installed, featuring a black tiger that wards off epidemics, glass lanterns, and a rising sun, praying for the safety of hikers visiting Achasan in the New Year.

Gwangjin-gu canceled the Achasan New Year sunrise event due to the spread of the Omicron variant and the COVID-19 pandemic, and instead created the light street, which will operate until February 28.

Kim Seon-gap, Mayor of Gwangjin-gu, said, “This light street was prepared to safely deliver warm messages of hope for the New Year,” adding, “I hope this light street will become a cultural space for healing and comfort throughout the winter for the residents exhausted by COVID-19.”
