[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Song Jong-gu] Changwon Special City in Gyeongnam is creating a 'Street of Light' to deliver urban attractions to citizens who have overcome the difficult times of COVID-19. Lighting ceremonies will be held at 7 p.m. on the 28th at Odongdong Buljong Street in Masanhappo-gu and at 6 p.m. on the 29th at Sangnam-dong Fountain Square in Seongsan-gu.

The lighting ceremony at Odongdong Buljong Street will be hosted by KBS announcer Shim In-bo, and the ceremony at Sangnam Fountain Square will be hosted by comedian Park Hwi-soon, who will provide witty commentary.

The event will open with a performance by the Jinhae Philharmonic Orchestra, followed by citizen-targeted events and a prize-giving ceremony, culminating in a performance where the lighting button for the Street of Light is pressed.

At the moment of lighting, thousands of LED lights in various shapes will simultaneously illuminate, brightly lighting up the night streets. Odongdong will transform into a street of light centered around the Buljong sculpture, with the surrounding roads and cultural square filled with shops. At Sangnam Fountain Square, a media art show illuminating a large membrane structure and a light tunnel will emit colorful and splendid lights.

The city first established the 'Street of Light Landscape Lighting Project' in 2016 to create a vibrant street culture with nighttime attractions. As it received positive responses such as revitalizing the local commercial district, it has been created every autumn since then.

This year's Street of Light can be seen from the 28th at ▲ Odongdong Buljong Street in Masanhappo-gu ▲ Sangnam-dong Fountain Square in Seongsan-gu ▲ Yongho-dong Culture Street (Yongji-ro 153beon-gil) in Seongsan-gu ▲ Shopping street in Hapjeong-dong, Masanhoewon-gu (Yangdeokbuk 18-gil, Hapjeongnam 7-gil) area.

It will be lit daily from sunset until midnight until February next year.
