About the festival

Seoul Light Gwanghwamun is a representative light festival of Seoul, composed of media art and cultural content that the public can enjoy together. The 2025 Seoul Light Gwanghwamun will be held under the theme . Seoul is a city that transforms like a living organism, gathering the movements and stories of countless people. At its center stands Gwanghwamun, a symbolic space of Seoul where history and citizens' lives have intertwined for a long time, and the 'starting point of light' where electricity first came to the city in modern Korea, illuminating the night. That light has not only brightened the darkness but also transformed people's daily lives and culture, and this flow continues to create the rhythm of the city in various aspects of our lives. Seoul Light Gwanghwamun shines a light on the changes in Seoul from the very spot where that first light was turned on.
