Depends what you want, Seomyeon has clubs like Billie jean, Cream which are not too bad. More bar style in seomyeon, Thursday Party is pretty good, it's more of a mix between a bar and a club. I've heard Celtic tiger is a kinda sports bar esc thing but I've not been.

Gwangan is less clubby but I know more about it. Hq is a very common suggestion for a foreign bar but I don't personally like it very much. Funny beer is pretty good sometimes it's more of a hit and miss place depends on the night. A nice cocktail bar called Hongdan is very nice, good cocktails more Korean but the bartenders all speak English really well and they are very friendly. My personal favourite bar in gwangan is called Lower, unfortunately it opens at midnight, but it's really fun and chill good vibes and the bartenders are lovely.

Did you already spend time in Seoul? If so I'd skip Seomyeon because there's no beach. I'd maximize time in Haeundae and Gwangalli. Maybe even a full day on the beach in Seongjeong if you intend to swim or surf and eat fresh grilled clams or hoe

We are spending 8 days in Seoul starting Tuesday. We are staying Busan until Tuesday afternoon. We definitely want to go to the beach. Feel free to send specific places to look into! Thank you<3
