[Asia Economy Reporter Park Jong-il] Park Gang-su, Mayor of Mapo District, attended the ‘Gwanghwamun Square Bitmorak (樂)’ event, a ceremony commemorating the opening of Gwanghwamun Square, held on the 6th.


Gwanghwamun Square has returned to the citizens after 1 year and 9 months since the restructuring construction began. By removing the lanes in front of the Sejong Center for the Performing Arts, the total area of Gwanghwamun Square expanded to 40,300㎡, about 2.1 times larger than before.



The event started at 7 PM with pre-ceremony performances and citizen participation performances, followed by the screening of a ‘digital immersive video’ that takes viewers on a 600-year time travel of Gwanghwamun Square. At 8:30 PM, the media facade on the outer wall of the Sejong Center for the Performing Arts was lit up to celebrate the opening of Gwanghwamun Square.
