"Today the Sun Shines Brightly, Still Feeling Like You Are Here" Gwanghwamun Wall Poem 'Winter Edition' Renovated

The Gwanghwamun Letter Board approaches citizens with a warm message of encouragement for the winter season.

This winter edition of the Gwanghwamun Letter Board features a poem titled "Dialogue" by poet Yu Hee-kyung. Poet Yu debuted in 2007 with the play "Trapping the Stars" at the New Play Festival hosted by the Korea National University of Arts, and the following year won the poetry category of the Chosun Ilbo New Year's Literary Contest. In 2019, she received the 65th Hyundai Literary Award.

She has been actively producing works, publishing poetry collections such as "Words This Morning," "We Were Gods for a Moment," and essay collections like "Words of the Shining Night" and "At Least One Somewhere in the World."

On the 2nd, the Gwanghwamun Billboard 'Winter Edition' was unveiled on the front of the Kyobo Life Building in Gwanghwamun, Jongno-gu, Seoul. This Gwanghwamun Billboard 'Winter Edition' is excerpted from the poem "Dialogue" by poet Yu Hee-kyung, conveying an encouraging message to reflect on and appreciate the precious people who always support us, just as warmth is felt when sunlight shines even in the cold winter.

This message encourages us to remember and appreciate the precious people who always support us, just as warmth can be felt when sunlight shines even in the cold winter.

The illustration on the Gwanghwamun Letter Board winter edition depicts sunlight pouring brightly into a subway car. The shadow reflected on the floor reminds us of the precious people who believe in and cheer for us.

A representative from Kyobo Life Insurance said, "We selected this message to remind people not to forget their concern for those around them," adding, "We hope everyone warmly welcomes the winter while thinking of their precious loved ones nearby."

The Gwanghwamun Letter Board has been delivering messages of hope and love for over 30 years since 1991. This winter edition will be displayed until the end of February next year at the Gwanghwamun Kyobo Life Building and Gangnam Kyobo Tower, and can also be viewed on the Gwanghwamun Letter Board website.
