Exhibition 'Trajectories of Light' to Celebrate One Year of Lee Jae-myung's Government

To commemorate the first anniversary of the Lee Jae-myung administration, a special exhibition showcasing the government's achievements and diplomatic records will be held.

The Cheong Wa Dae announced that from June 10 to December 31, it will host the exhibition titled 'Trajectories of Light' on the second floor of Cheong Wa Dae Sarangchae in Jongno-gu, Seoul. The subtitle is 'Policies that Illuminate the Lives of Citizens, Together Opening Brilliant Gifts.'

This exhibition has been redesigned as an interactive space where citizens can experience the policies created in collaboration with the government. Cheong Wa Dae explained that it has moved away from a one-sided information delivery approach to create a participatory environment that combines video, digital content, interactive devices, and hands-on experiences.

The exhibition is divided into five sections, following the flow from the government's inception and operations to diplomatic efforts, policy experiences, and citizen engagement messages.

The first section, 'Light Overcomes Darkness - The Birth of the Lee Jae-myung Administration,' immerses visitors in the social atmosphere and public aspirations at the time of the government's launch through a multimedia space.

Media artist Yoon Je-ho, known for combining video, light, and spatial design to evoke collective memory, has contributed to this section.

The second section, 'Illuminating Light - A Working President, A Working Government,' visualizes President Lee's social media records accumulated over the past year. Data visualization content based on his posts on X and Facebook illustrates the government's focus and communication with the public.

The section 'Connecting Light - Changing National Prestige, Unpacking Together with Citizens' presents scenes and records of diplomatic engagements since the inception of the citizen-led government. Gifts and souvenirs received by President Lee during overseas trips and international events will also be displayed alongside diplomatic records.

Policy achievements are restructured into experiential content in the section 'Enjoying Light - Citizen-led Policies, Changes in My Life.' This section divides 38 key achievements over the past year into five areas: competence, livelihood, coexistence, practicality, and communication, linking them to the lives of citizens.

The final section, 'Light of Tomorrow - Next Promises, Together with Everyone,' features citizen participation content. A large 3D screen welcomes visitors with a video message from President Lee, and attendees can take photos with the President and First Lady.

Additionally, a digital goods experience exhibition will be held next to the souvenir shop on the first floor of Cheong Wa Dae Sarangchae throughout June to celebrate the first anniversary of the inauguration.

The Cheong Wa Dae digital goods were created in response to a public suggestion via the President's social media channels, expressing a desire to own a digital version of the 'Presidential Clock.' These digital goods have been produced for significant national milestones, including the 50-day anniversary of the inauguration, the 80th anniversary of Liberation, and the successful hosting of APEC 2025, and a total of 50 types have been distributed through the Cheong Wa Dae website.

At this special exhibition, visitors can directly apply and wear digital goods on their smart devices. A photo booth will also allow citizens to participate in the creation of digital goods. Additionally, a display of photographs taken by the President's official photographer, Wi Seong-hwan, documenting the past year will be showcased.

Lee Gyu-yeon, head of Cheong Wa Dae's Public Relations and Communication Office, stated, "This exhibition is an attempt to transform from a one-way promotional approach to a policy communication platform where citizens can actively participate and co-create. We aimed to create a space where all visitors can feel the changes in their lives brought about by the citizen-led government's policies."
