FormationBackground

Located in the middle of the Hangang Bridge, this oval-shaped land is believed to have derived its name from 'Nodul', meaning 'a stone where egrets played'.

Nodeul Island, known as Jungjido from the 1930s to the 1950s, was a beloved urban cultural hub with a sandy beach and a skating rink in the heart of the Han River.
However, after several large-scale development plans were scrapped following the Han River development plans in the 1960s and 1970s, Nodeul Island became a nearby but inaccessible, forgotten island.

In 2012, efforts began to restore it as a cultural space that connects people as a place of rest and meeting along the Han River.
In September 2019, Nodeul Island was reborn as a 'complex cultural base mediated by music'.
Nodeul Island, reborn as a space made together with the dreams of many people.
We invite you to create beautiful memories in this space filled with nature, rest, and culture, built on the long-standing memories of citizens surrounding the Han River.
