An Interactive Exhibition Featuring Social Media Record Visualizations and Digital Goods Experience

To commemorate the first anniversary of the Lee Jae-myung administration, a special exhibition will be held where citizens can directly experience the achievements of the past year in state affairs and records of summit diplomacy.

On June 1, the Office of the President announced that it will host the exhibition “Trajectories of Light” on the second floor of Cheongwadae Sarangchae in Jongno-gu, Seoul, from June 10 through December 31, to mark the first anniversary of the launch of the People’s Sovereignty Government. The subtitle of the exhibition is “Policies that Illuminated People’s Lives, Shining Gifts We Open Together.”

The exhibition has been newly renovated as a policy experience-oriented space, where Cheongwadae Sarangchae is transformed into a participatory exhibition hall co-created with citizens. The Office of the President explained that, moving away from the conventional one-way information delivery style, the exhibition has been designed as an interactive space combining videos, digital content, interactive devices, and hands-on experiences.

The exhibition consists of five sections, following the flow of the government’s launch, state administration, summit diplomacy, policy experiences, and messages of citizen participation.

The first section, “Light Triumphs Over Darkness – The Revolution of Light, the Birth of the Lee Jae-myung Administration,” recreates the social atmosphere and aspirations of the people at the time of the government’s inauguration through an immersive media space. Media artist Jeho Yoon, who specializes in sensorially translating collective memory through video, light, and spatial direction, participated in this section. The second section, “Illuminating the Light – A President at Work, A Government at Work,” is a space that visualizes a year’s worth of President Lee’s social media records. Through data visualization content based on President Lee’s posts on X and Facebook, it shows what agendas the government has focused on and how it has communicated with the people.

A space dedicated to summit diplomacy achievements is also featured. The section “Connecting the Light – Changes in National Prestige, Unboxing Together with the People” introduces scenes and records from summit diplomacy that have taken place since the inauguration of the People’s Sovereignty Government. Gifts and souvenirs received by President Lee during overseas visits and international events will also be released along with diplomatic records.

Policy achievements are reinterpreted as hands-on content linked to everyday life. The section “Enjoying the Light – Policies of People’s Sovereignty, Changes in My Life” is divided into five fields: competence, livelihood, coexistence, pragmatism, and communication, and highlights 38 core accomplishments from the past year, presented as stories connected to citizens’ daily lives.

The final section, “Light of Tomorrow – The Next Promise, Together with Everyone,” is composed of citizen-participatory content. In a space with a large 3D screen, a video message from President Lee welcomes visitors, who can also take commemorative photos with the president and first lady.

In the space next to the souvenir shop on the first floor of Cheongwadae Sarangchae, a digital goods experience exhibition will be held throughout June to mark the first anniversary of the inauguration. Cheongwadae digital goods are citizen-engagement content created in response to a public suggestion made last year via the president’s social media channels: “I’d like to keep the presidential watch as a digital screen.” On major national occasions—such as the 50th day of the administration, the 80th anniversary of Liberation, and the wish for a successful 2025 Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) Summit—these digital goods have been produced as smartphone and smartwatch backgrounds. To date, a total of 50 types have been distributed through the Cheongwadae website.

At this special exhibition, visitors can directly apply and try out digital goods on their own smart devices at the site. There is also an experience zone where citizens can participate in the creation of digital goods using a photo booth. In a dedicated area, records from the past year captured by the president’s official photographer, Seonghwan Wi, will also be displayed.

Lee Guyoun, Senior Secretary for Public Relations and Communication at the Office of the President, stated, “This exhibition is an attempt to move away from the conventional one-way publicity approach and reborn as a policy communication platform where citizens directly participate and co-create.” He added, “It has been designed as a space where every citizen who visits can feel the policies of the People’s Sovereignty Government as real changes in their own lives.”
