What Is Some Sevit?
Some Sevit (세빛섬) is a cultural complex that floats on the Han River in front of Banpo Hangang Park (반포한강공원) in Seocho-gu, Seoul. Entry is free. You only pay at the restaurants, cafés, yachts and other venues you choose to use. Many people come in the evening for the night view. It’s about a 15-minute walk from Exit 8-1 of Express Bus Terminal Station (고속터미널역), which is served by subway Lines 3, 7 and 9.
The buildings stand on floating platforms (pontoons) instead of on land, and Some Sevit calls itself the world’s first floating building of this kind. It has three islands, Chavit (채빛), Solvit (솔빛) and Gavit (가빛), plus Yevit (예빛), a media art gallery that shows video content. Each name refers to light at a different time of day. Chavit is the morning sun, Solvit is the midday sun and Gavit is the sunset glow. Yevit stands for moonlight at night.
