It was reported that from October 14 to November 14, the huge rubber duck will be floating on Seokchon Lake in Seoul for visitors and citizens to enjoy.

The artist wrote, "The Rubber Duck knows no frontiers, it doesn't discriminate people and doesn't have a political connotation. The friendly, floating Rubber Duck has healing properties: it can relieve mondial tensions as well as define them. The rubber duck is soft, friendly and suitable for all ages."
