The park is a serene escape from the city’s hustle and bustle, with beautifully landscaped paths, creative installations, and plenty of green spaces.

As you walk, you’ll enjoy the cool evening air and take in the vibrant urban night view. The park is often filled with locals enjoying a leisurely stroll, families playing, and friends gathering, giving you a glimpse into everyday life in Seoul. The illuminated cityscape in the background adds a magical touch to your walk, making it a perfect moment to relax and digest the rich experiences of the night.

  • Hongdae - As we make our way back towards Hongik University Station, you’ll be treated to one of Seoul’s most exciting urban experiences: live K-pop busking performances. The streets around Hongdae are famous for their spontaneous and energetic performances by young, aspiring K-pop artists. These street performances are a raw, unfiltered look at the talent and passion that fuels Korea’s world-famous music scene.

You’ll witness dynamic dance routines, soulful singing, and perhaps even some original compositions, all performed in the open air with the city as their stage. The energy and enthusiasm of these young performers are infectious, and you might find yourself clapping along or even joining in the fun. It’s a perfect way to conclude your night, surrounded by the vibrant spirit of Seoul’s youth culture.

  • Hongik University Station - The tour concludes back at Hongik University Station, but the memories of the night will linger long after.
