2026 Hangang Drone Light Show Hangeul Day Joseon Fantasy Time & Parking, Before Visiting Ttukseom with Kids
On Hangeul Day night, the sky over Ttukseom Hangang will be painted by drones ✨
2026 Hangang Light Performance (Drone Light Show) The second show of the second half will be held on October 9 (Fri), Hangeul Day, 19:30~21:15 at the Ttukseom Hangang Park Waterfront Stage.
The main drone show is from 20:30 to 20:45, for 15 minutes.
I’ve organized the updated viewing guide from Seoul City on October 7 and the Future Hangang Headquarters notice.
🎪 About the Performance
The Hangang Light Performance is a free drone show hosted by Seoul City in spring and autumn. You can just show up at the venue—no reservation needed.
In the second half, there are three shows at Ttukseom: September 12 (Sat), October 9 (Fri), and October 31 (Sat), with a different theme each time.
The theme for October 9 is ‘Joseon Fantasy’. Based on classic Hangeul novels, the show will depict hanbok silhouettes and characters from the stories with drones.
This session also features a special program: Seoul Culture Lounge Pansori.
The second half guide also mentions ‘Seoro Market’ (nationwide agricultural and specialty product sales) in front of Jayang Station Exits 2~3, but doesn’t specify operating hours by date.
✨ What’s Happening When?
There are four consecutive performances. Here’s the schedule for October 9:
| Time | Program |
|---|---|
| 19:30~20:00 | Culture & Arts Performance 1 Dabut |
| 20:00~20:30 | Special Performance Seoul Culture Lounge Pansori |
| 20:30~20:45 | Drone Light Show ‘Joseon Fantasy’ |
| 20:45~21:15 | Culture & Arts Performance 2 Gayageum Player Boram |
The general overview for the second half lists the ending time as 21:25, but the October 9 schedule and Seoul’s October event plan say 21:15. This article follows 21:15.
The Future Hangang Headquarters reported that over 125,000 people attended the five shows in the first half. It’s a very popular event.
🚇 Getting There & Parking
Normally, Jayang Station Exits 2 and 3 on Line 7 connect directly to the park. However, for safety on the event day, Exits 2 and 3 may be restricted, so they’re guiding visitors to use Exit 1.
| Method | Where to Get Off & Notes |
|---|---|
| Line 7 | Jayang Station Exit 1 (Exits 2 & 3 may be restricted) |
| Line 2 | Konkuk Univ. Station Exit 5, about 1,000m to the park |
| Hangang Bus | Get off at Ttukseom Pier, right at the park |
| On Foot | Instead of the crowded Ttukseom Nadeulmok, use Noyu or Jayang Nadeulmok |
There are four parking lots with a total of 674 spaces.
| Ttukseom Hangang Park Parking Lot | Spaces |
|---|---|
| Lot 1 (next to Windsurfing Center) | 64 |
| Lot 2 (in front of Info Center) | 356 |
| Lot 3 (in front of Swimming Pool) | 123 |
| Lot 4 (under Cheongdam Bridge) | 131 |
| Parking Fees (Passenger Cars) | Amount |
|---|---|
| First 30 minutes | 1,000 won |
| Each additional 10 minutes | 200 won |
| Daily maximum | 10,000 won |
The guide says parking will likely be insufficient on the event day. Exiting from Lots 3 and 4 may be restricted until 21:30 after the drone show ends.
✏️ Hangeul Playground at Hangang Pleple in the Afternoon
From 13:00 on the same day, the Hangang Pleple (Ttukseom Jabeolle), connected to Jayang Station, will turn its 1st and 3rd floors into a ‘Hangeul Playground’. It’s free and open for on-site participation.
The Future Hangang Headquarters also suggests spending time at Hangang Pleple first, then moving to the waterfront stage for the drone show.
| Time | Hangeul Playground Program |
|---|---|
| From 13:00 | Two Crafts: Hunminjeongeum Magnet Coloring & Mother-of-Pearl Name Tag Bookmark (100 participants each, first come first served, ends when materials run out) |
| From 14:00 | Find the Hidden Hangeul: Find all 4 letters, first 50 participants get chocolate |
| 14:00~15:40 | Open Performance: Dabut, Singer-songwriter Yoon Geuru |
| 15:30 · 17:30 · 19:30 | Movies: The Way Home · YMCA Baseball Team · Oseam (all rated for all ages) |
👨👩👧 If You’re Bringing Kids
The drone show can be freely viewed from anywhere near the park.
The main drone show starts at 20:30 and lasts 15 minutes. If your child is young, you might want to arrive closer to 20:30 instead of waiting from the 19:30 performances.
On the event day, public Wi-Fi in Hangang Park will be temporarily unavailable from 12:00 to 21:30. Be sure to arrange a meeting spot with your group in advance.
Since it’s an autumn night by the river, bring an extra jacket for your child.
If you drove, you may not be able to exit Lots 3 or 4
until 21:30
Seoul City recommends sharing nearby stations
after the event ends
⏳ Still Awaiting Announcement
