In addition, news and media show the appearance of Gwanghwamun Square when dealing with the story of Seoul. As such, Gwanghwamun Square is a famous place in Seoul.
 Gwanghwamun Square starts from Sajikro in front of Gwanghwamun, and extends to Sejongdaero by two sides. It ends at the intersection of Sejongdaero where Moonanro and Jongno meet. The construction started in May 2008 and the Sejongdaero blocked some lanes and entered the construction and was opened to the public on August 1, 2009.
