Seoul’s Jamsu Bridge hosts a fried-chicken feast just hours before it permanently closes to car traffic and begins its transformation into a pedestrian-only crossing. Multiple outlets report a large crowd gathering on the Han River landmark for the “Chicken Day” celebration tied to the bridge’s final hours for vehicles.
Coverage emphasizes the event’s scale and format: Korea Times describes a record turnout of about 120,000 people and a long, open-air picnic style setup with dozens of participating vendors and franchises, alongside city figures on food sales and tasting activities. VnExpress International focuses on the visual spectacle, describing roughly 2,000 people sharing fried chicken at a 400-meter-long table on the bridge.
While both accounts agree on the timing and the fried-chicken theme ahead of the car-traffic ban, they differ in what they foreground—overall attendance and vendor participation in Korea Times versus the distinctive “long table” centerpiece in VnExpress.
