Seoul Children's Grand Park

This guide to Seoul Children's Grand Park opens on a March afternoon in 2023, when a zebra named Sero broke loose from his enclosure and ran through the streets of Gwangjin district for three hours. It traces what drove him to bolt, the loss of his parents Lulu and Garo, alongside the park's own layered past, from a royal tomb to Korea's first golf course before it became a children's playground in the 1970s. Listen for how the ground beneath the rides once served very different purposes.
