The facts
Yes, that place where thousands of people gathered to watch Psy perform 'Gangnam Style' for free!
Founded in 1926, Seoul City Hall is a Renaissance-style stone building. Seoul Plaza in front of City Hall is a historic site where the 1919 (Samil) Independence Movement and the pro-democracy movement in June 1987 were held. It is also a well-known place where tens of thousands of Korean soccer fans came to cheer at during the 2002 World Cup Games.
The building has gone under reconstruction and re-opened just recently on October, 2012.
This oval grass square in front of Seoul City Hall is used as a place to hold various events and cultural festivals like “Hi! Seoul Festival”, and is enjoyed by many Seoulites as a place to rest. As one of attractions of Seoul Plaza, the Floor Water Fountain, which looks like a normal sidewalk that spurts up water very high from the floor holes when you walk across it. The 48 floor lights along the grass square and Fala- a round type outer wall clock- are another attractive features of the Square.
The Fala, in particular, is designed to ring the Boshingak Belfry sound at high noon everyday. The Floor Water Fountain presents a grand sight with 35 underwater lights.
In the winter season, Seoul Plaza runs a public ice rink for everyone to enjoy ice skating. It will open on Dec.16th, 2013!
