The structure, which is planned for Haneul Park in the capital city of Seoul and is called the Seoul Ring, has been in the works for a while now, but a site for its location has only recently been selected. According to theannouncing the project site's location, "Haneul Park is deemed a meaningful place for its symbolism as a gate to both Seoul and unified Korea and as a location geographically close to North Korea which shows the harmony and reunification of the Korean race.
"The city consulted with domestic and international experts in architecture and engineering to secure construction safety and structural integrity of the spokeless design of Seoul Ring," the municipality's statement said. "The city plans to supplement and develop more progressive and creative designs in cooperation with the private sector."

The park is one of several on the former site of the landfill and the city plans to integrate the new landmark into future festival events."Seoul Ring will be constructed on the former landfill site by 2025 as a symbol of the circular economy and climate action for both people and nature," the city said.
