Notes from the last check
The Seoul Lantern Festival is evidenced as operating, with an official organizer site and a 2025 edition (Dec 12, 2025 to Jan 18, 2026, free, Cheonggyecheon). The 2026 edition's Dec 4 to Dec 31 dates are reported only by a news article, with no official 2026 date notice fetched, so the status is reported.
