Gurye-gun, Jeollanam-do announced that it will start operating the Seomjingang Otter Ecological Park media facade from the 12th.

A media facade is a compound word of media and facade, which refers to the exterior wall of a building, and means using the building's exterior wall as a screen to display various content videos.

The county plans to produce creative and three-dimensional content that captures the symbolic and artistic value of the Seomjingang River and otters. Storytelling was added to unique 3D characters that reflect the otters' habits so that visitors can immerse themselves, interact, and empathize.

In addition, the content projected on the floor is equipped with a user-responsive interactive feature where each element reacts to the spots where visitors step, maximizing the enjoyment of nighttime strolls.

Viewing hours are from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m., and viewing is not available on Mondays, when the Otter Ecological Park is closed.

County Governor Kim Soon-ho said, “During the day, 2,345 Hongmaehwa (red plum blossoms) decorate the Otter Ecological Park, and at night, the Tree Tower lights and media facade decorate it,” adding, “We hope you experience both the romantic daytime and nighttime of the Seomjingang River.”
