Last weekend, I explored central Seoul with my friend Philip and visited one of the most impressive winter attractions in the city:
the Christmas Mega Screen (Media Facade) at Shinsegae Department Store in Euljiro.
According to a Chosun Ilbo article, this large-scale media facade has become a seasonal highlight, featuring festive visuals and advertisements that light up downtown Seoul during the Christmas season.
📍 Best Viewing Spot (Highly Recommended)
-
The best place to watch is from in front of the Central Post Office.
-
From there, you get a full, frontal view of the screen — perfect for photos and videos.

⏰ Best Time to Visit
-
The screen opens at 5:00 PM.
-
Arriving right at opening time helps you avoid large crowds.
-
Note: the main visuals appear after the advertisements, so a little patience pays off.
📸 Filming Tip
-
Bringing a phone tripod or holder makes a big difference for stable and high-quality videos.
