Seodaemun-gu (Mayor Lee Seong-heon), in collaboration with Woori Bank, has installed landscape lighting on Yonsei-ro and is operating a fandom collaboration event zone for BTS and BLACKPINK, providing diverse attractions to citizens visiting Sinchon during the year-end and New Year holidays.

This year’s Yonsei-ro landscape lighting is designed to resemble a universe filled with stars and planets in the night sky and will be in operation from the 19th of this month until the end of February next year.

Additionally, the BTS and BLACKPINK fandom collaboration event zone will be set up at Star Plaza from the 25th of this month until January 5th of next year.

Lee Seong-heon, mayor of Seodaemun-gu, said, “With the installation of the landscape lighting, Sinchon will establish itself as a representative destination for Christmas and the year-end and New Year holidays with a warmer and brighter atmosphere.”
