Stepping on Legs Experience

[Asia Economy Reporter Jongil Park] Songpa-gu (Mayor Park Seong-su) will provide enjoyable attractions themed around the first full moon of the new year from February 11 to 20 for 10 days at Seokchon Lake and Songpa Dullegil in celebration of the Im-in year Jeongwol Daeboreum.

Mayor Park Seong-su of Songpa-gu stated, “Every year on Jeongwol Daeboreum, we have held events such as Songpa Bridge stepping and burning of the moon house to pray for a bountiful year and ward off evil spirits. However, this year, since we cannot hold face-to-face events, we created various viewing-focused Jeongwol Daeboreum atmospheres to ease the disappointment.”

The district installed a large full moon in front of the central stage of the East Lake of Seokchon Lake, a place frequently visited by residents. Using a beam projector, the full moon will display the New Year wishes and hopes of Songpa residents through media mapping. They also plan to collect and display various New Year wish messages from Seokchon Lake walkers.

Additionally, ‘Seokchon Lake Moonlight Photo Studios’ were set up at two locations along Songpa Dullegil and three locations around Seokchon Lake. Visitors can leave unique memories at photo zones with a large full moon as the background. The photo zones can be found under Gwangpyeonggyo Bridge, near the Seongnaecheon water playground, and at the waterfront stages of the East and West Lakes of Seokchon Lake.

At the Hosugyo Bridge over Seokchon Lake, visitors can also experience traditional seasonal customs. The bridge, which connects to the walking trail, is arranged to allow people to naturally perform the representative Jeongwol Daeboreum custom of ‘bridge stepping,’ providing a time to pray for health throughout the year.

Mayor Park Seong-su said, “In celebration of Jeongwol Daeboreum, we have carefully prepared to ensure safety in accordance with the COVID-19 situation this year,” adding, “I hope this event offers residents some comfort in their daily lives and carries their hopes for the new year.”
