About 1,500 people including residents, representatives of professional organizations, and small business owners attended the event, and shared the vision of ‘realizing Seodaemun with 200% happiness that turns dreams into reality.’
Seodaemun-gu Mayor Lee Seong-heon explained the key tasks through a presentation, which are to become ▲a rapidly growing central city ▲a comfortable, luxurious healing city ▲an educational and cultural city ▲a healthy and welfare city ▲an economically growing city.
Seoul Mayor Oh Se-hoon also attended and announced major business plans related to Seodaemun-gu, including the construction of a city library, a complex healing park, and the construction of the western light rail line.
In particular, Professor Emeritus Kim Hyung-seok of Yonsei University, a 105-year-old philosopher, attended the event and gave a New Year’s address. Professor Kim received a lot of applause when he said, “Let’s make this a happy year through love and sharing.”

Starting with this New Year’s greeting, Seodaemun-gu plans to actively pursue various projects for regional development, such as undergrounding the Gyeongui Line, activating youth entrepreneurship, and upgrading healing attractions. In particular, it plans to focus on developing Seongsan-ro in front of Yonsei University and utilizing idle railroad land to create specialized startup and medical hubs and cultural spaces.
