Some of the world's most famous statues are composed of just a few words yet create such a large effect. Take the 'I amsterdam' in the Netherlands for example, or the simple 'Love' statue in Indiana and New York City; these are art pieces that inspire tourists from all over to gather around for an Instagram spree.
Well, Seoul, South Korea has joined the trend by creating a new statue of its own, 'Seoul, My [ ]'. And it's interactive--you get to fill in the blank yourself!

Starting on November 12 and ending on November 23, the city of Seoul will be hosting a fun photo and free T-shirt event! People in the city can head over to the statue, fill in the blank, print out a free T-shirt featuring what Seoul means to them, and then pose for a picture wearing their awesome new T-shirt.
While this fun event will bring together all the people who love Seoul, it's sadly not as accessible to global fans of Korea who reside elsewhere. Still, allkpop would like to offer an opportunity for our readers to participate in this event by hosting a giveaway!
Let us know what word you would use to fill in the blank in 'Seoul, My [ ]'. What is Seoul to you? Your home? Your dream? Whatever it is, leave it in the comment section below with a brief explanation. We will pick ten lucky winners to win a free 'Seoul, My [ ]' t-shirt, so that those who really love Seoul at least get to participate and keep a piece of the city with them!
