About Daebyeon Lighthouse
Also known as: Daebyeon (Taebyon) Hang East Breakwater (World Cup Lighthouse)
Daebyeon Lighthouse is a 17-meter tall cylindrical concrete tower located in Gijang-gun, near Busan, South Korea. It features a red tower with a lantern and gallery, supported by unusual tripod structures. At its base, a spherical white structure resembling a soccer ball recognizes the 2002 FIFA World Cup, for which South Korea and Japan were co-hosts and Busan a venue city. The lighthouse emits a red light with a 10-second cycle, visible for 13.6 nautical miles. While the site is accessible to the public, the tower itself is closed.
Why it matters: The lighthouse's unique soccer ball design marks it as a cultural landmark celebrating the 2002 FIFA World Cup. Its operational light aids navigation for vessels near Busan.
