Say goodbye to 2024 and ring in the start of 2025 at one of Seoul's hottest events. We cover three of the hottest New Year's Eve events, which are full of technology and culture, that you should consider when bringing on the new year!
Seoul is a vibrant city with a rich culture and society that will keep you busy every season,
and the New Year's tradition of ringing in some of the most iconic landmark bells will be a memory to last a lifetime.
Bosingak Bell
One place to visit is the Bosingak Bell, located near Jonggak Station (Line 1). Here sixteen people including the Mayor of Seoul will ring the bell thirty-three times between midnight on December 31, 2024 — January 1, 2025. This has become one of the most popular traditions in Korea since the Joseon Dynasty, and as a result hundreds of thousands of Koreans head to this spot to welcome in the New Year!
With Seoul having a mix of traditional and modern traditions, Bosingak Pavilion offers a night of hip-hop and EDM at the final countdown party, and this boasts a glamourous line up including VINI VICI, Crankdat, Martin Jenson, and others!
Address: 54, Jong-ro, Jongno-gu, Seoul | 서울특별시 종로구 종로 54 (관철동)
Something that looks incompatible with another always coexists in this traditional but also modern metropolitan city of Seoul. On the one hand, people spend their year-end in a very traditional way at the Bosingak Pavilion, but on the other hand, there are people spending the same night full of hip-hop and EDM at the Final Countdown Party. The Countdown 2025 Party will surely make your year-end paradisaical.
Seoul DDP (Dongdaemun Design Plaza)
Located in the heart of Seoul, the DDP (Dongdaemun Design Plaza) puts on a beautiful light show, which showcases the modern and futuristic vision of Seoul. With music, food stalls and the final countdown, this is a great place to visit if you want to experience a more modern New Years Eve in Seoul!
