[Asia Economy Reporter Yuri Kim] "Excuse me, could you please take a photo for me?" On the afternoon of the 27th, despite it being a weekday, Songpa-gu's Seokchon Lake in Seoul was bustling with crowds. The farther the yellow figure in the distance became clearer, the higher the population density grew. Middle and high school students, housewives with babies, nearby office workers, and elderly men jogging created a relaxed yet lively atmosphere. The usual weekday workday rush I felt just moments ago softened. What especially warmed my heart at Seokchon Lake, where I stopped by this late autumn for fall foliage viewing, was the 'familiar duck' I hadn’t expected much from?the Rubber Duck. The 18-meter-tall giant cuteness that made me unconsciously switch my phone camera to selfie mode proved that the saying "cuteness saves the world" was not wrong.

The 'Rubber Duck Project Seoul 2022' prepared by Lotte World Tower together with Songpa-gu can be enjoyed along with the nearby Rubber Duck goods store. The goods store shaped like a Rubber Duck sold miniatures, camping chairs, postcards, and more, decorated with a Halloween atmosphere, and despite being a weekday, customers kept coming. You can also enjoy events that let you fully appreciate the cuteness of the Rubber Duck. When you purchase over 30,000 KRW at the Tower·Mall, you can participate in the stamp rally photo zone event. Depending on the number of stamps collected at the Rubber Duck photo zone, Rubber Duck toys, magnets, stickers, and more are given out on a first-come, first-served basis.

Nearby department stores and malls were in full swing with Halloween events. The event zones created a great atmosphere for photos with dazzling Halloween videos, mirrors, and balls. Adults smiled as they captured children enjoying themselves. There were also many couples and friends visiting. At the adjacent Halloween pop-up store, Halloween-themed limited edition products such as jelly, chocolate, pumpkin baskets, and bath bombs were introduced. This weekend, a parade featuring performances by people dressed in Halloween themes will be held twice a day.

This is recommended for those who have not yet gone to see the fall foliage this autumn, those who don’t have the leisure to enjoy fall foliage, and those who want to enjoy fall colors, food, and entertainment all at once. Until the 31st, you can capture certification shots with the giant and cute duck, making it a twofold benefit. However, typical autumn weather is expected this weekend, so be prepared for traffic congestion and huge crowds.
