All-Night Reading Party
From ₩30,000
You want to settle down and read a book properly,
but every time you get home, you can’t focus and end up checking your Reels every two minutes?

Instead of a party where you drink all night,
but an all-night reading party where you read until dawn and catch the first train home.
This Friday night, the 27th,
a night for book lovers to linger and stay is happening in Hannam-dong.

Hapjeong Darak 90s-born Standing Party
From ₩32,000
Sadly, I’ve now reached the age where getting banned from clubs in Hongdae wouldn’t be surprising.
90s kids getting turned away at Hongdae clubs, gather here!
90s-born standing party.
No need to feel self-conscious about your age; it’s a fun atmosphere where you can stand and chat while enjoying yourself.

Kwon Jin-ah Free Concert
Following last week’s free concert by Paul Kim, this time a free concert by Kwon Jin-ah will be held at Yeongdeungpo Times Square.
A live performance you stumble upon in a space you happened to visit, without the ticket war.
If you want to hear Kwon Jin-ah’s voice up close—emotional and soothing to the ears, like the scratchy sound of a pencil on paper—head to Yeongdeungpo Times Square!
Dapsimni Antique Night Market
Recently, Korean traditional fine art has gained global attention, spurred by the Kedehun phenomenon.
Interest in Korea’s traditional beauty is also growing overseas.
In line with this trend, a night market selling traditional art and antique accessories will be held.
A variety of pieces perfect for everyday spaces, including ceramics, folk paintings, and small crafts, will be introduced.
This is a great opportunity for those who want to decorate their homes with traditional Korean aesthetics.
Depending on the piece, its value may increase over time, allowing you to consider both interior design and investment simultaneously.
You can decorate your home with the unique charm of traditional Korean aesthetics, and since you never know when the value of such art might rise, it’s also a smart investment!
A crossover performance blending jazz and traditional Korean music will also be held.
107th Anniversary March 1st Movement Commemoration Bell Ringing Ceremony

This Sunday is Samiljeol (March 1st Movement Day).
On March 1, 1919, approximately 2 million people of all ages and genders from across the nation participated in the independence demonstrations.
If you want to spend this year’s March 1st Independence Movement Day with a bit more meaning, participating in the bell-ringing ceremony at Boseongak in Jongno, Seoul, is one way to do it.
The event begins at 11:30 AM.
Nine descendants of independence activists will participate in the bell-ringing ceremony.
The bell tolls 33 times that day to honor the 33 national representatives who first read the Declaration of Independence.
After the bell-ringing ceremony, visiting meaningful sites in sequence is also recommended.
The Seodaemun Prison History Museum, where traces of the independence movement during the Japanese colonial period remain,
Taehwa Building where the Declaration of Independence was read aloud,
and Tapgol Park, where the first independence demonstrations began, are all fitting places to reflect on the meaning of March First Independence Movement Day.

The hip Itaewon club SOP Seoul is reopening and hosting an opening week event this weekend.
