Seoul City Promotes Ukraine Peace Prayer 'Light of Peace' Campaign... Spreading Anti-War Message

Held at 4 Locations Including City Hall, Sebitseom, Seoullo Media Canvas, and Namsan Tower

[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Cheol-young] The Seoul Metropolitan Government is promoting the ‘Peace Light’ campaign, which projects blue and yellow lights carrying a message of world peace on four major institutions and facilities symbolizing Seoul, to comfort the people of Ukraine suffering from war and to join in spreading an anti-war message.

Since Russia launched a sudden invasion of Ukraine on the 24th (local time), landmarks in various countries around the world, including New York, London, and Rome, have been illuminated in blue and yellow?the colors of the Ukrainian flag?to express their anti-war will and send supportive lights to the people of Ukraine.

Participating in the message of world peace, the ‘Peace Light’ campaign plans to project blue and yellow lights conveying a message of peace to comfort Ukraine on March 27 at Seoul City Hall’s main building, Sebitseom, Seoul-ro Media Canvas, and Namsan Seoul Tower.

Going forward, through close cooperation with major Seoul facilities and privately operated facilities, the ‘Peace Light’ is expected to spread throughout downtown Seoul by March.

Mayor Oh Se-hoon said, “I ask for the participation of all sectors in this ‘Peace Light’ campaign opposing war and wishing for peace,” adding, “We will deliver comfort to the people of Ukraine with blue and yellow lights symbolizing the Ukrainian flag and actively participate in spreading the message for maintaining world peace.”
