Gangnam-gu Collaborates with Luxury Brands to Create "Cheongdamdong Light Street"
700 Meters of Lighting Installed from Apgujeong Rodeo to Cheongdam Intersection
Planned Expansion to 1.3 Kilometers up to Cheongdam Station
Gangnam-gu, Seoul (District Mayor Cho Sungmyung) has installed nighttime landscape lighting along the luxury street in Cheongdam-dong. The district announced that it has created the 'Cheongdamdong Light Street' along a 700-meter section from Apgujeong Rodeo Station to Cheongdam Intersection, and held a lighting ceremony at 6 p.m. on December 10 in front of 10 Corso Como Cheongdam (416 Apgujeong-ro).
There are 60 landscape lights installed on both sides of the streetlights. These lights are rectangular in shape, measuring 300 mm wide and 2,400 mm tall, and feature geometric patterns inspired by jewels. They are synchronized with the streetlights to turn on and off together. In addition, four types of image lighting-depicting jewels, bouquets, butterflies, and poinsettias-have been installed at two locations.
This lighting project was planned to enhance Cheongdam-dong's urban brand value and create a safe nighttime pedestrian environment. Luxury brands also participated as sponsors.
The district plans to extend the light street to Cheongdam Station, expanding the total length to 1.3 kilometers by March next year. With sponsorship from the Cheongdam Geonyeong Apartment Remodeling Association, 42 additional landscape lights, 12 specialized lights, and 3 image lights will be installed along the 600-meter section from Cheongdam Intersection to Cheongdam Park Intersection.
