'Baebongsan Forest Waterfall' to Operate from the 20th

Lighting and First Waterfall Operation at 7 PM on July 20...Pre-Event Busking Performance and Popera Singer Arihyeon's Celebration Performance

Dongdaemun-gu, Seoul (Mayor Lee Pil-hyung) announced on the 19th that the Baebongsan Forest Waterfall will begin its first operation at 7 PM on July 20.

The district decided to create an artificial waterfall in the open plaza of Baebongsan Neighborhood Park, a popular leisure and exercise space for residents. After going through design competitions, ground surveys, construction method selection, and resident briefings since January last year, construction began on March 11, 2024, and the waterfall was recently completed about four months later.

With a maximum height of 19 meters and a width of 34 meters, the waterfall was named "Baebongsan Forest Waterfall," the most popular choice among Dongdaemun-gu employees who participated in the naming contest.

A district official stated, "To commemorate the first operation of the Baebongsan Forest Waterfall on July 20, we have prepared a cultural event. Everyone can enjoy it for free on-site that day, so we ask for the residents' great interest and attendance."

The waterfall completion ceremony will begin with a busking performance at 6 PM on the 20th, followed by lighting and waterfall operation at 7 PM. Afterwards, pop-opera singer Lee Hyun will give a congratulatory performance against the refreshing backdrop of the waterfall.

Lee Pil-hyung, Mayor of Dongdaemun-gu, said, "We expect the Baebongsan Forest Waterfall, which will provide a refreshing atmosphere and new attractions, to become a new landmark of Dongdaemun-gu."

The district plans to develop the Baebongsan Forest Waterfall into a nighttime attraction through "nightscape lighting" and "media facade displays" that embody the future, dreams, and hopes of Dongdaemun-gu.
