Seoul Plaza Skate Rink Opens from the 22nd

Operation Until February 11 Next Year

The Seoul Plaza skating rink will be open for 52 days from the 22nd until February 11th of next year.

The Seoul Metropolitan Government announced on the 20th that the opening ceremony of the Seoul Plaza skating rink will be held on the 22nd from 5:40 PM to 6:45 PM. Starting with a pre-performance by the percussion group ‘Rappercussion,’ the official event will include congratulatory messages from key guests such as Mayor Oh Se-hoon, followed by a figure skating performance. After the opening ceremony, the skating rink will be open to the public free of charge.

This year, the skating rink has been designed with the theme of a winter festival space, featuring 24 small houses throughout Seoul Plaza, creating a unique space where citizens can enjoy skating in a more comfortable and safe environment.

The Seoul Metropolitan Government expects this year’s number of users to exceed last year’s 139,614 visitors (an average of 2,585 per day). Accordingly, safety personnel and medical staff will be stationed at all times, and the rink will be resurfaced after each session to ensure citizens can use the skating rink safely.

Kim Young-hwan, Director of the Seoul Tourism and Sports Bureau, said, “This year’s skating rink has been reborn as a place everyone wants to visit through various programs and events held in a uniquely designed space,” adding, “As a special place to enjoy winter romance in the heart of the city, we hope Seoul Plaza skating rink will receive even more love.”
