A revamped city square boasting a new light show at night. A newly opened island that offers various spaces for relaxing. And a new hipster hangout transformed from a cluster of old hanoks or Korean traditional houses.
All these and more will become key attractions in Seoul when the country reopens fully to tourists once the Covid-19 pandemic is over, according to the city’s mayor, Oh Se-hoon.
