The sharing temperature of the 'Hope 2026 Sharing Campaign Love Temperature Tower' installed at Gwanghwamun Square recorded 35.2 degrees Celsius on the 10th. 

The Love Temperature Tower rises by 1 degree Celsius for every 1% of the total fundraising target that is collected. When the target amount of 450 billion won is fully raised, it will reach 100 degrees. 

The 2025 Seoul Lantern Festival (December 12 - January 4, 2026) and the 2025 Gwanghwamun Market (December 12 - 31), hosted by the Seoul Tourism Organization, are just two days away. 

This year marks the 17th anniversary of the Seoul Lantern Festival, which will be held in the Cheonggyecheon and Uicheon areas under the theme 'My Light, Our Dream, Seoul's Magic.' It is an event that offers a magical winter night through the exhibition of light sculptures and features various experience programs.

The Gwanghwamun Market is a Christmas market where Gwanghwamun Square transforms into a European-style Santa village. It will operate from 5:30 PM to 9:30 PM daily, and until midnight on the 31st. 

Visitors can explore about 100 booths operated by small business owners selling various handicrafts, Christmas decorations, and winter snacks. A free carousel and a photo zone for the movie 'Avatar 3: Fire and Ash' will also be available.
