COEX East Plaza코엑스동측광장

About

This long plaza runs along the sidewalk from the Trade Tower (Trade Center) at Samseong Station, past the COEX Convention Center, to the ASEM Tower. The east plaza is also called Coex Urban Park, and hosts a variety of events throughout the year, such as K-pop concerts and outdoor film festivals. The COEX area was a filming location for the K-pop hit "Gangnam Style," which set off a worldwide horse-dance craze and put Gangnam on the global map. As a "Gangnam Style" landmark, it features a bronze "Horse Dance" sculpture, 5 m tall and 8 m wide, that highlights the global message "The World Is One," and the plaza is drawing attention as a world-class tourist attraction.
