    DAY-OF PLAN

    Know the sequence before you go.

    Times from the operator are kept separate from Korea Era planning guidance.
    1. 01
      Route to I Love Street at the Seoseok Elementary School gate

      Use the exact work name and the official Dongmyeong-dong 146-3 location in Dong-gu. The old generic TourAPI record points to the project office at the Biennale hall, not the photographed yellow stair.

    2. 02
      Walk the 110-metre pedestrian artwork

      Read the I LOVE ground design, play and chalkboard elements from the public lane while giving pupils, residents and ordinary pedestrians priority.

    3. 03
      Apply the current on-site safety state

      An old event photograph does not prove every step, trampoline, board or water feature is open or maintained today. Follow barriers and posted instructions.

    TRAVELER FAQ

    Answers worth checking before you leave.

    Is this pin the entrance to every Gwangju Folly work?

    No. This pin is the photographed I Love Street beside Gwangju Seoseok Elementary School. The wider project is distributed across the city and every work needs its own title and coordinate.

    Can I always climb the yellow stair or use every play element?

    Do not assume so. It is an outdoor public artwork beside a school; current barriers, maintenance, pupil safety and posted rules decide whether an interactive element can be used.

    Are the operating details for I Love Street · Gwangju Folly live?

    The displayed guidance was checked September 2, 2026, but it is not a live operator feed. Open the linked official guide and a Korean map again on the day because hours, closures, tickets and transport can change.

    Can a traveller correct this page?

    Yes. Submit a sourced community wiki correction or a current field report; proposed facts are reviewed before becoming canonical information.

    3. Visit flow

    1. 01
      Before walking

      Route to I Love Street at the Seoseok Elementary School gate

      Use the exact work name and the official Dongmyeong-dong 146-3 location in Dong-gu. The old generic TourAPI record points to the project office at the Biennale hall, not the photographed yellow stair.

    2. 02
      Daylight outside school arrival peaks

      Walk the 110-metre pedestrian artwork

      Read the I LOVE ground design, play and chalkboard elements from the public lane while giving pupils, residents and ordinary pedestrians priority.

    3. 03
      Before using a stair or play element

      Apply the current on-site safety state

      An old event photograph does not prove every step, trampoline, board or water feature is open or maintained today. Follow barriers and posted instructions.

    4. Traveler tips

    • Avoid school arrival and dismissal congestion, keep faces of children out of close-up photographs and never photograph through school gates.
    • Look back from the public lane to understand the I LOVE composition; do not step into planted or closed play surfaces merely to frame the letters.
    • For a longer Folly walk, select the next work by its exact title on the official map instead of following the former Biennale-office coordinate.
    • Search “광주폴리 THE I LOVE STREET 전남광주통합특별시 동구 동명동 146-3 서석초등학교” in Naver Map or Kakao Map and confirm the exact entrance and return route.
    • Hours, admission, closures and programme schedules can change; use the official source before departure.
    • The audited coordinate identifies the named destination, but the final gate, parking area and step-free entrance still need a live route check.
