드론 315대로 밤하늘 수놓는 코로나 극복 메시지..."경제 회복, 새로운 도약"

Hundreds of drones illuminated Seoul's night sky just minutes ago this Friday evening.
A spectacular showcase of empowering messages amid the Covid-19 pandemic - here is our Kim Jae-hee.
Hundreds of unmanned vehicles rise into the sky in one synchronized movement.
They shuffle to form images representing South Korea's modern achievements, such as the 1988 Olympic Games, and the 2002 FIFA World Cup.
The outline of the globe, symbolizing a peaceful world, gradually transforms into the figure of a coronavirus, illustrating the unexpected challenges the COVID-19 outbreak has brought in 2020.
The drones then encourage people to face up to the challenge, and remind people of the importance of wearing masks to overcome the pandemic.
Organized by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport, the drone light show held on Friday afternoon is the second of its kind.
Unlike the first event held in July, Friday's show aims to deliver a message not only about overcoming the virus epidemic and paying tribute to healthcare workers, but also achieving economic recovery under the 'Korean New Deal' initiative.
The event was held at Seoul Olympic Park to bring back the happy memories of the 1988 Olympics and the 2002 World Cup.
The spectacular ten-minute show involved more than three hundred drones.
"Friday's drone show involves 315 drones, made purely with South Korean technology. Drones are given orders from a central control system, and are programmed to move to certain locations. They can move at a speed of 5 meters per second, and once a drone is fully charged, it can stay in the air for up to 20 minutes."
The dazzling display was broadcast live online, and can be watched again on the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport's YouTube channel.
