HealSwing Wangsimni (K-Swing): Free for Daebak Customers

Our friends in Seoul have a swing waiting for you

If you've watched enough K-dramas, you've probably seen this scene: a woman in a hanbok on a long rope swing under a pine tree, flying higher and higher into the sky. That's called geune ttwigi (그네뛰기), and it's a real Korean tradition that goes back hundreds of years. On holidays like Dano, swinging as high as you could was the thrill of the day.

HealSwing Wangsimni, also known as the K-Swing, is that old game reborn. It's a giant swing on a rooftop right by Wangsimni Station in Seoul. You pump higher and higher, and if you're up for it, you go all the way around. A full loop, with the Seoul skyline spinning past you.
