Love locks

The “love locks” at Seoul’s N Tower began appearing around 2006–2007, when visitors and couples started leaving small padlocks as symbols of lasting affection. Over time, the practice evolved into a cultural phenomenon—amplified by Korean media and the tower’s growing popularity as a major city landmark—gradually transforming the railings of Namsan Mountain into a vibrant mosaic of promises. Today, this tradition continues to thrive, making the tower one of Seoul’s most emblematic and romantically charged destinations.
