About Seoul Light
Hangang Bitseom Festival

Seoul Light Hangang Bitseom Festival is Korea’s largest
waterfront laser art festival, staged along the Hangang River in Seoul.

Held each year on a rotation of the river’s six islands — Nanjido, Yeouido, Seonyudo, Nodeul, Seoraeseom and Ttukseom —
it offers a singular experience where nature, art and technology meet.

The festival is built on the keyword ‘Bitseom 3L’, comprising Laser Art, Light of Companionship and Lecture.
