Seoul Light Dongdaemun Design Plaza (DDP) is closing off the year strong with 5 Cheers!, a media art showcase featuring the work of Jean Jullien, Sunwoo Kim, Recording Life, Joguman Studio and JE BAAK. The large-scale immersive installation adorns the building with powerful messages of hope and connection, bidding farewell to the old year and ringing in the new.

Spanning 222 meters, the exterior facade of the Zaha Hadid-designed structure is transformed into an animated dance of art and technology. Audiences are invited to explore five illuminated worlds – Choir, Play, Magic Show, Claymation and Performances – each of which uniquely contribute to a larger narrative of collectivity and dreams.

From now through December 31,  5 Cheers! will unfold nightly from 7 pm to 9:30 pm, with 18-minute presentations running in 30-minute intervals. The event crescendoes on New Year’s Eve with a fireworks and laser show at midnight, followed by performances by Glen Check and Balming Tiger.
