[비즈한국] The '2025 Gangnam Unique Tour,' presented by Gangnam-gu, Seoul, will run for five months from May 22 (Thu) to October 19, starting with the 'Starlight Yoga & Small Concert' at locations including Samseong Haemaji Park, the Yangjaecheon area, and Dosan Park. Running under the slogan "The Most Special Gangnam Story Waiting for You," this event is establishing itself as an "experience-oriented themed tourism program that adds healing and fun." The event is being managed by Korea's No. 1 women's monthly magazine, 'Woman Sense,' and will also feature 'K-QUEEN,' the magazine's ambassadors, raising anticipation even further.
The '2025 Gangnam Unique Tour' consists of three themes: Starlight Yoga & Small Concert (Samseong Haemaji Park), Yangjaecheon Therapy (Yangjaecheon area), and K-Comics Picnic (Dosan Park). First, the Starlight Yoga & Small Concert, themed "A Special Rest in Gangnam, Starlight Yoga in the Heart of the City," will take place every Thursday from 7:00 PM to 8:30 PM throughout May, June, September, and October. After a 50-minute starlight yoga session where participants can follow yoga and Pilates movements led by professional instructors against the backdrop of the sunset, a 40-minute small concert will follow, featuring performances including jazz, a cappella, classical music, and old pop. Participation is free for all ages, and participants must bring their own yoga mats.
'Yangjaecheon Therapy,' themed "Healing Ritual in Nature," will be held on June 10 (Tue) at 10:00 AM in the Yangjaecheon area between Yeongdong Bridge 3 and Yeongdong Bridge 4. It will feature a 'Barefoot Red Clay Trail Walking Experience' to feel nature directly, a 'Proper Walking Class,' and 'Gardening Classic,' a program designed to satisfy the five senses and emotions, where participants can create their own companion plants to bring nature into their homes. This event is available for the first 50 people to register in advance.
The 'K-Comics Picnic' will be held for three days from October 17 (Fri) to October 19 (Sun) at Dosan Park. Not only will the space be curated by genre—including popular comics, works by emerging artists, and various comics—but it will also feature a variety of programs such as a 'Transcription Challenge' of touching poems or phrases, 'Character Face Painting' for children, and 'My Own Cartoon' drawn by comic artists themselves.
Further details and advance registration can be found on the Visit Gangnam website (https://visitgangnam.net). As the events take place outdoors, the schedule and composition may change slightly depending on weather conditions.
