Starting Year-End, 'Baegun Horangi' Roars at Gwangju Nam-gu Office

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Jin-hyung] A light show is expected to unfold as early as the end of this year through the media wall installed at the main entrance of the Nam-gu Office building in Gwangju Metropolitan City.

Along with the aerial walkway connecting the disconnected Pureungil Park, a spectacle showcasing the essence of media art will be prepared, raising expectations that the Baegun Plaza area will transform into a cultural space and landmark representing Gwangju.

According to Nam-gu on the 7th, construction of the Baegun Square media wall, installed on the outer wall of the main entrance of the Nam-gu Office building, will begin in earnest from the 8th.

The Baegun Square media wall is a giant LED display measuring 42.4 meters wide and 9.915 meters high, installed in an 'L'-shaped curve on the front of the 4th and 5th floors facing the main entrance of the Nam-gu Office building.

Nam-gu plans to complete the foundational work for installing the LED display, including drilling at the building joints and excavation and concreting of the pillars, by the 13th.

Once this process is finished, the LED display installation work will proceed immediately.

To realize various video contents as a light show, 378 high-efficiency LED cabinets measuring 1 meter wide by 1 meter high will be manually attached one by one, a very important process to deliver high-definition images.

The Baegun Square media wall is scheduled to be completed around mid-December.

After completing transmission tests and screen settings, Nam-gu plans to showcase a trial video from the end of December, where the Baegun Tiger will appear on the giant LED screen every hour to indicate the current time.

Additionally, from early February next year, follow-up content including anamorphic illusion videos and several bridge videos will be released.

Alongside this, Nam-gu plans to collect stories from residents about important days such as weddings, employment, and various anniversaries, providing unforgettable memories by communicating these stories as video letters through the media wall to family, friends, and acquaintances.

Kim Byung-nae, the district mayor, stated, “From the end of this year, new attractions will be prepared around Baegun Plaza, and the aerial walkway in Pureungil Park is also scheduled to be completed next year. The light festival viewed directly from the aerial walkway will be the highlight of the Baegun Plaza New Deal project,” adding, “We will make Baegun Plaza a place that Gwangju citizens visit again.”
