[Asia Economy Reporter Noh Kyung-jo] On the afternoon of the 19th, the '2022 Korea Christmas Tree Lighting Ceremony' was held at Seoul Plaza in front of Seoul City Hall.


The lighting ceremony was held with a reduced number of attendees in consideration of the signs of a resurgence of COVID-19 and the Itaewon tragedy that occurred last month.



Seoul Mayor Oh Se-hoon, during the lighting ceremony, prayed for the souls of the victims of the Itaewon tragedy and said, "I sincerely hope that the Christmas tree will become a ray of light that delivers warm comfort and healing to our society and citizens deeply immersed in sorrow."
