Destination briefing
Why travelers stop here
Seoul Light Gwanghwamun is a representative light festival of Seoul, consisting of media art and cultural artistic content that the public can enjoy together. The 2025 Seoul Light Gwanghwamun is held under the theme <Gwanghwa, Breathe with Light>. Seoul is a city that changes like a living organism, gathering the movements and stories of countless people. At its center, Gwanghwamun is a symbolic space of Seoul where history and the lives of citizens have continued for a long time, and it is the 'starting point of light' where electricity first came to modern Korea, illuminating the city's night. That light went beyond brightening the darkness, transforming people's daily lives and culture, and this flow continues even now, creating the city's rhythm in every corner of our lives. Seoul Light Gwanghwamun shines a light on Seoul's transformation once again at the very spot where that first light was turned on.
