Song Sang-hyeon Square

Song Sang-hyeon Square, Square and park in Busanjin-gu, Busan, South Korea.

Song Sang-hyeon Square is an urban open space and park in central Busan featuring landscaped areas, walking paths, seating arrangements, and artistic displays throughout its grounds. The layout separates different zones for relaxation, movement, and viewing, creating distinct spaces within the larger area.

Busan announced a public naming contest in April 2012, received 569 proposals, and in November 2012 chose Song Sang-hyeon, the Dongnae magistrate who died defending the fortress against the Japanese invasions. Construction began in 2012, the site was expanded in October 2013, and the square opened in June 2014.

The square serves as a gathering point where locals and visitors naturally meet to spend time together, shop, and participate in neighborhood activities. Events and performances held here reflect the contemporary life and interests of people living in the downtown area.

The square is easy to navigate with multiple entry points and flat, open pathways accessible to everyone. Visitors can spend as much or as little time as they wish, and the layout allows for simple orientation without needing a map or guide.

The name was chosen by public competition: 569 suggestions arrived in April 2012, a committee shortlisted Song Sang-hyeon Square, Monomeo Square and Citizens' Garden, and the city confirmed Song Sang-hyeon on 5 November 2012. The statue of the scholar-official stands at Songgong three-way junction, on the Yangjeong side of the square.
