On August 12, there will be special performances by tango and salsa dancers after the music is done. Onlookers will even get to pick up a few tips from the dancers themselves.
Away from the stage, the city has plans to set up a “healing rest spot”, an “open-air tub” where visitors can dip their feet and “ice walks” where paths will be frozen solid.
At midnight, movies such as “Begin Again” will be shown in different areas of the plaza.
Other fun activities planned are glow-in-the-dark fashion shows and glow-in-the-dark earphone dances that should “lighten” up the night.
In neighboring Gwanghwamun Square, the various embassies of different nations will open up their doors as part of a cultural exhibit. The square will also play host to the Summer Snow event, where a recreation of Seoul in ice will be on display.
