The most notable space during this temporary operation is the ‘Propose Zone’ located at the center of the bridge. It offers a special opportunity to express your feelings to your loved one on the most thrilling and exhilarating suspension bridge in Korea, creating a romantic moment with the Namhangang River as the backdrop.

In particular, the floor design using media glass changes from opaque to transparent when stepped on, creating an optical illusion as if the glass is about to break, providing a dizzying sense of tension. This evokes the ‘suspension bridge effect’ known in psychology, a phenomenon where people feel stronger emotions toward their companion in fearful or tense situations. While crossing the suspension bridge, visitors naturally rely on each other and hold hands tightly, allowing couples to form a deeper bond and experience an unforgettable special moment.

Meanwhile, the Yeoju Namhangang Suspension Bridge, officially opening on May 1, is the longest pedestrian suspension bridge in Korea and is expected to become a key hub and representative attraction for regional tourism activation in 2025, the ‘Year of Tourism in Yeoju.’ It boasts a refreshing bicycle path and walking trail and is uniquely constructed over the river. The opening ceremony will feature various attractions including an airshow by the Republic of Korea Air Force’s special flight team ‘Black Eagles,’ media facade displays, and fireworks.
