It’s time to put those weekdays—when your feet got soaked—behind you and welcome another sunny weekend.
The cherry blossoms that made my heart flutter so fleetingly over the past week may have taken a hit,
that doesn’t mean there’s nothing to do this weekend.
Leaving the bittersweet end of cherry blossom season behind, what should you do this weekend?
Reading at Hangang Park
Want to fully enjoy the leisurely pace of spring?
I recommend grabbing a book and heading to Hangang Park. This weekend,“Reading at Hangang Park” is back!
This year, the event has expanded from 500 to 600 seats,
and in addition to mega picnic blankets for families and couples, they’ve reportedly stocked a variety of chairs—including beanbag chairs, reading chairs, and rocking chairs—to ensure comfort no matter how you choose to read.
It’s okay if you don’t have a book in your hands right now. From picture books for young children to books for adults, approximately 5,000 titles are available on-site, so you can visit light-hearted and discover new inspiration.
Seoul Spring Festival Opens

The most anticipated event of April, the Seoul Spring Festival, opens this weekend.
From the opening day, enjoy drone shows, signature performances, and even a carousel!

A Standing Party for the 90s Generation

“Hapjeong Darak,” a space that feels like your own private hideaway, is hosting a standing party for Gen Zthis weekend.
The party held last month was reportedly a huge success.
Now, most clubs in Hongdae are banning people born in the ’90s 😭 (Of course, I’m no exception.)
Instead of those Hongdae clubs where you stand awkwardly, shifting from foot to foot while listening to club music that doesn’t really resonate these days,
let’s go to a party where they play a playlist full of familiar, nostalgic songs,
where we’re actually welcome.
No-Dopamine Party
Wine, whiskey, Kim Kwang-seok.
This is a gathering of people who know how to enjoy things that only truly shine after being aged by time.
This is a secret space for people who hate noise, love to reflect, and want to share those thoughts through conversation. Even if you look it up on a map, the location won’t show up.
They say that only after you book an event will they reveal the exact address where this clandestine gathering is taking place in Yeonnam-dong.
This “No-Dopamine Party” is an event where people who feel jaded by a lifestyle saturated with alcohol, short-form content, and loud music gather to fill their time with nothing but conversation.
It’s a quiet gathering that might just spark a little excitement—you might even find a new connection with someone who shares your interests.
DOMESTIC CALLING : STAYGOLD
Every time I introduce a weekly event, I feel like I’m unintentionally revealing my age group. 😅
Since I burned through most of my passion for clubs in my 20s, I’ve tended to recommend quiet parties over the wild club scene. But just for this weekend, I’m taking a moment to reflect and introducing a sizzling EDM party to turn the mood around.
‘STAY GOLD,’ a DJ and producer crew active in Korea’s mainstream EDM scene, is set to take the stage at Ryan Seoul this weekend and heat up the club’s atmosphere.
