A series of cultural events, including live performances and a magic show, will be held at Seoul Gallery, located in the below-ground floors of Seoul City Hall, on Hangul Day.

According to the Seoul Metropolitan Government, the group Urban Zakapa and guitarist Jang Ha-eun will take the stage Friday with performances evoking the autumn season. Urban Zakapa will perform a live set featuring hit songs including "I Don't Love You," while Jang, who appeared on JTBC's "Super Band 2," will showcase moving guitar playing.

A magic show, which has proven popular with families, is also scheduled, along with a balloon performance for younger visitors.

Admission is free and walk-in on the day — no advance registration is required. The first 50 attendees to participate in the performances and events will receive Seoul Metropolitan Government merchandise.

In addition, an on-site voting event called "Seoul Gongam N-haengsi" will run through Friday, inviting citizens to compose acrostic poems based on key city policy projects such as the Han River bus service and "Seoul Learn," an online education program.

The event will select standout entries from among the witty submissions, with the top three teams receiving Seoul Metropolitan Government merchandise. Further details are available on the Seoul Gallery website.

The Seoul Metropolitan Government plans to deploy additional staff on-site and manage visitor flow in anticipation of large crowds. Kim Hyeong-rae, the city's public relations planning officer, said he hoped visitors would "enjoy sweet music and a variety of performances, and create unforgettable memories at Seoul Gallery on a cool autumn day."
