Curved LED Screen Brings Crashing Waves to Seoul

Massive waves are crashing in the “Times Square” of Seoul, on the immense LED video wall wrapping around the SMTown Coex Artium building in South Korea. The huge wave content is created by d’strict, a digital technology company based in South Korea, bringing a vivid wave image into the Seoul city center.

The curved LED screen measures 80.0 meter in width and 20.1 meters in height, which is four times the size of a basketball court in Seoul, according to a report covered by The Korea Herald. Samaung installed the video wall in Seoul as the façade of SMTown Coex Artium in March 2018.

The digital billboard is part of the project by Korea International Trade Association and Gangnam District aiming to develop a Korean version of Times Square, named the K-pop Square. So far, six large outdoor LED screens have been installed in the area.

Apart from presenting digital artworks, the LED screens show public content, K-pop videos and advertisements.
