"Tell Your New Year's Wish"... Sky Road Wish Tree Becomes Genie for Mapo Residents

Five Wish Trees Installed in Hapjeong Sky Road Area to Hold New Year Wishes... Various Events Using Wish Trees Including Hanging Wish Bells and SNS Certification... Park Gang-su, Mayor of Mapo-gu, "Preparing New Year Wish Trees Wishing for Residents' Health and Happiness"

Mapo-gu (Mayor Park Gang-su) announced that it has installed a Wish Tree on Haneulgil near Exit 7 of Hapjeong Station and will hold various events.

The Wish Tree was carefully prepared by Mapo-gu so that residents can start the year 2024, the Year of Gapjin, with hopeful wishes and resolutions. Through this, the district aims to revitalize the Haneulgil commercial area and tourism.

A total of five Wish Trees have been installed along Haneulgil. A large tree was set up in front of Exit 7 of Hapjeong Station, where Haneulgil begins, and various other trees were placed throughout the commercial area.

Along with the Wish Tree, Mapo-gu is conducting a Wish Bell Hanging event to promote the Haneulgil commercial district. Wish bells and wish balls that can be hung on the Wish Tree are given to customers who use stores within the Haneulgil commercial area. Tourists can hang their wish balls containing New Year wishes and resolutions together with the wish bells on the tree of their choice.

Additionally, an SNS certification event is being held for participants in the Wish Bell Hanging event. Participants can take photos of their wish bells hung on the Wish Tree and post them on SNS. Upon verification of participation, they will receive local goods imbued with the unique sentiment of Haneulgil at the Haneulgil Emotional Recharge Station.

The event prepared by Mapo-gu was originally scheduled to run until mid-January, but due to continuous inquiries and enthusiastic responses, the end date has been left open and the event will continue for the time being.

Meanwhile, to visually express the quiet and unique atmosphere of Hapjeong and to clarify the boundaries of the commercial district, Mapo-gu painted the main roads of Haneulgil sky blue.

Also, street lighting was installed to create a light street along Haneulgil so that tourists can feel a warm and cozy atmosphere even during the cold winter.

Along with Hongdae Red Road, a street of passion and youth, Mapo-gu plans to continuously promote environmental improvement projects for Haneulgil and install kiosks, bulletin-type guide maps, and signboards to establish Haneulgil as a distinctive brand and a representative attraction of Mapo.

Park Gang-su, Mayor of Mapo-gu, said, “We prepared the New Year Wish Tree with the hope that all residents will be healthy and happy in the Year of Gapjin 2024, and we encourage many to participate.” He added, “Mapo-gu will continuously strive and provide active support for the development of the Haneulgil commercial district.”
