On December 31, 2024, Gwangalli Beach in Busan was scheduled to host the "2025 Countdown Busan" event, featuring a special drone light show to welcome the New Year.
However, following the tragic Jeju Air Flight 2216 crash on December 29, 2024, which resulted in 179 fatalities, the South Korean government declared a national mourning period until January 4, 2025.
In light of this, the Suyeong-gu Office canceled the Gwangalli M Drone Light Show Countdown Special Performance as a mark of respect.
Additionally, other New Year's events in Busan, such as the citizen's bell-tolling ceremony at Yongdusan Park, were also canceled during this period of national mourning.
Consequently, Gwangalli Beach remained quiet on the night of December 31, 2024, as the city joined the nation in honoring the victims of the tragedy.
