Gangseo-gu, emerging as a new cultural and artistic center in the southwestern area of Seoul, is enriching the 'Magok Cultural Street' area with more performances, exhibitions, and festivals.

On the 17th at 2 PM, the district held the '2023 1st Magok Cultural Street Committee Meeting' in the district office's main conference room, attended by over 10 public and private experts, to discuss the development direction of Gangseo-gu’s signature cultural street.

At the meeting, the committee members agreed that the street should be developed as a distinctive area reflecting Gangseo-gu’s unique artistic character.

They also emphasized the need for thorough analysis of street conditions and regional characteristics, along with actively gathering residents’ opinions to build a solid foundation.

This year, cultural development projects will focus on the Balsan Station zone, which has a high floating population and green spaces where citizens can gather.

In particular, plans include installing sculptures symbolizing Magok Cultural Street and captivating citizens with well-organized cultural and artistic performances.

Alongside this, efforts will concentrate on developing diverse cultural content and promotion to establish 'Magok Cultural Street' as a cultural hub space shared with citizens.

Magok Cultural Street is a 1km connected green space section stretching from Magok Station to Balsan Station on Subway Line 5. The district has divided it into three zones?Magok Station zone, Culture and Arts zone, and Balsan Station zone?each designed with distinct cultural and artistic themes.

Park Dae-woo, Acting Mayor of Gangseo-gu, said, “We have been developing Magok Cultural Street to expand residents’ opportunities to enjoy culture and arts,” adding, “We will do our best to establish it as one of Seoul’s leading cultural and artistic hubs.”
