Korea Nightlife Survival Guide

There are however some places where it’s not only easier to take a day tour, it’s actually necessary.

There are however some places where it’s not only easier to take a day tour, it’s actually necessary. I’m obviously not a tourist to Korea, but if I was – these are the tours in Korea I’d be signing up for. Changgyeonggung is particularly beautiful in late March, when its plum blossoms fill the palace with a lovely fragrance and pretty pink petals. During Joseon Dynasty times, it was mostly used as a living space for queens and concubines, but under Japanese colonial rule, it was used as a zo


"Sunglasses at night…" is not only a popular song by one hit wonder Corey Hart, but 최신링크모음 also is an apt description of what goes on in the Seoul photo booths in South Korea in the evenings. While I am not the moral police, Clubs have cracked down very hard. Not saying the scene doesn't exist, and that they aren't available, but I personally do not touch this shit as the penalties are very harsh. Also if you're caught at clubs, especially after the scandals of burning sun, you will be permanently banned and reported to the police. Most promoters will not help you acquire as the penalties for dealing are even harsher. If you're looking for a good promoter, shoot me a PM and I can get you in touch with people at basically any club who can help in booking / guest lis


There are thousands of market stalls and shops in Namdaemun Market in the daytime but at night, there is just 최신링크모음 a handful of (mainly food) stalls open. From the bright lights of Gangnam’s brewery bars to Itaewon’s ‘craft beer valley’ via hoppy hangouts in Ikseon-dong and Euljiro, there is much craft beer goodness to enjoy in Seoul at night. This is a short Seoul river cruise on the Han River with an audio commentary. There are several cruises per day, starting from early afternoon with a sunset cruise at 6pm in the summer – there are sometimes later cruises that include dinner and live music. If you’re into art and design, you’ll have plenty to pique your curiosity during your trip to Seou


As I step inside, the air is thick with the tantalizing aroma of sizzling poultry, and the sound of laughter and conversation fills the dimly lit space. Another one of my favorite spots to satisfy those midnight munchies is the renowned Myeongdong Street Food Alley. As a seasoned Seoul foodie, I’ve perfected the art of the late-night culinary crawl, bouncing from one tantalizing spot to the next, sampling a little bit of everything along the wa


The owner is friendly, and there’s a wide variety of snacks and drinks, including a delicious highball and sweet potato-flavored alcohol. The flavorful kimchi pancake is popular and enjoy options like dried persimmons with nuts and cream cheese. While some find the seafood tteokbokki spicy, others appreciate its flavor. This restaurant is popular for its makgeolli (Korean rice wine) and jeon (Korean pancakes), with lighter-bodied makgeolli that pairs well with the ingredient-rich jeo


Taxis are also readily available, and using apps like KakaoTaxi can make hailing one a breeze. Keep in mind that taxis have a small surcharge during late-night hours, but it’s still an affordable option. Korea’s most popular alcoholic drink, soju 소주 is widely available in every bar, convenience store and supermarket. And soju is surprisingly cheap making it one of the least expensive drinks in Korea (often cheaper than mineral water and soft drinks) – another reason to love Seoul at night. The one located near Gangnam station is a hotspot in the early hours (6-7am

Of course, no visit to Seoul would be complete without indulging in the city’s legendary fried chicken. But as I quickly learned, there’s an art to enjoying this crispy, juicy delight in public. After a late-night jaunt to the Kkanbu Chicken shop, I found myself back at the hotel, hunched over a box of the most incredible fried chicken I’d ever tasted, sauce dripping down my chin and fingers.
