Exhibition 'Trajectories of Light' to Celebrate One Year of Yoon Suk Yeol's Administration

To commemorate the one-year anniversary of President Yoon Suk Yeol's administration, a special exhibition will allow the public to experience the government's achievements and records of diplomatic engagements over the past year.

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 the Sarangchae in Jongno-gu, Seoul. The subtitle is 'Policies Illuminating the Lives of Citizens, Together Unveiling Brilliant Gifts.'

This exhibition has been redesigned to create an interactive space where the public can engage with policies rather than just receive information. The Cheong Wa Dae explained that the exhibition combines video, digital content, interactive devices, and experiential elements to foster participation.

The exhibition is divided into five sections, following a flow from the government's launch and operations to diplomatic engagements, policy experiences, and messages of public participation.

The first section, 'Light Overcomes Darkness - The Birth of the Yoon Suk Yeol Administration,' immerses visitors in the social atmosphere and public aspirations at the time of the government's inception through a multimedia space.

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

The second section, 'Illuminating Light - A Working President, A Working Government,' visualizes the president's social media records accumulated over the past year. This area showcases data visualization content based on President Yoon's posts on X and Facebook, highlighting the government's focus and communication with the public.

The third section, 'Connecting Light - Changing National Prestige, Unboxing Together with Citizens,' presents scenes and records of diplomatic engagements since the establishment of the people's sovereignty government. Gifts and souvenirs received by President Yoon during overseas visits and international events will also be displayed alongside diplomatic records.

Policy achievements are restructured into experiential content in the fourth section, 'Enjoying Light - People's Sovereignty Policies, Changes in My Life.' This section is divided into five areas: competence, livelihood, coexistence, practicality, and communication, narrating 38 key achievements over the past year in relation to citizens' lives.

The final section, 'Light of Tomorrow - Next Promises, Together with All,' features citizen participation content. A large 3D screen welcomes visitors with a video message from President Yoon, who will also have a photo opportunity with attendees.

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

The Cheong Wa Dae's 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 watch. These goods have been produced for significant national events, including the 50-day anniversary of the inauguration, the 80th anniversary of liberation, and the successful hosting of APEC 2025, with a total of 50 items distributed through the Cheong Wa Dae website.

During this special exhibition, visitors can apply and wear digital goods on their smart devices. A photo booth will also allow citizens to participate in the creation of digital goods. A separate area will display records captured by the president's official photographer, Wi Seong-hwan, over the past year.

Lee Kyu-yeon, the Cheong Wa Dae's Chief of Public Communication, stated, "This exhibition is an attempt to move away from one-sided promotional methods and transform into a policy communication platform where citizens can actively participate and co-create. We designed it so that all visitors can experience the changes brought about by the people's sovereignty government's policies in their own lives."
