From May 21 to 31, the Bukchon and Seochon neighborhoods—home to some of Seoul’s most iconic hanoks (traditional Korean houses)—will transform into evening cultural sanctuaries, staying open daily until 8 p.m. for visitors to explore. Hosted by the Seoul Metropolitan Government, this special event offers a rare opportunity to enjoy the nighttime charm of public hanoks, blending Korea’s cultural heritage with modern artistic expression and community-centered programs. https://www.dnews.co.kr/uhtml/view.jsp?idxno=202502091354129330767 ✨ Illuminated Nights: Art Exhibitions Inspired by Light This year’s theme centers on “light,” celebrating its quiet presence in hanok architecture. Two exhibitions will light up the evening hours: “A House Soaked in Light” – Held at the Bukchon Cultural Center, this joint exhibition by artists Kang Hyun-ji and Jung Seong-ah uses the Sarangbang (traditional study room) and a glass resting area to explore the gentle interplay of natural and artificial light in traditional Korean spaces. “Lights That Guard the Night” – Located at Bukchon Lounge, this solo exhibition by artist Lee Seung-jung invites viewers to meditate on the emotional and physical presence of light that softly protects and defines the night. https://korean.visitkorea.or.kr/kfes/detail/fstvlDetail.do?fstvlCntntsId=44361fc4-8826-49b1-b609-4628709e3ea9 🎶 Evenings of Performance and Movement Visitors can also enjoy a variety of performances and guided programs: On May 24, choreographer Lee Ruda presents a dance performance titled “Gesture” at the Bukchon Cultural Center, inspired by the movements and silence of the night.
