This event is jointly organized by Seoul Metro and the Goyang International Flower Foundation. The flowers being distributed are 'Campanula,' which symbolize gratitude and warm love; they belong to the bellflower family and are often used in floral arrangements. Seoul Metro planned the event to bring a touch of spring to busy commuters and to encourage the use of public transportation.

Additional events related to the '2026 Goyang International Flower Expo,' which will be held from April 24 to May 10, are also underway. By applying through the 'Citizen Participation' section on the Seoul Metro website (www.seoulmetro.co.kr), participants can enter a lottery, and 400 winners will each receive two admission tickets. The application deadline is today (April 16), and the winners will be announced tomorrow. Visitors who use public transportation such as the subway to attend the expo will receive a KRW 3,000 discount when purchasing admission tickets on-site.

Nah Inho, head of public relations at Seoul Metro, stated, “I hope this small gesture, like a single flower bringing a little warmth, will help brighten the day for our citizens,” adding, “We also encourage everyone to use the eco-friendly subway when going out for leisure.”
