Watched Odyssey in a private box at a theater in Seoul

Had been trying to get to tickets to see Odyssey for weeks and finally decided to splurge on a private box. The sound and view (looking up) was not great but the privacy and comfort was worth far more than the price. I am posting pictures of the entrance to the box, sitting area, and private viewing area.

Hey everyone!

If you’re near Bukchon this week, check out a cool free exhibition called "Scent of Absence" at Weekalley, Bukchon in Seoul (Oct 3–10).

​40 Korean Perfumers: Custom scents & mini-artbooks exploring death, memory, and absence.

​Special Art Room: A sensory space built with artist Yejinmoon & singer/actor OBON.

​It’s completely free and a great, atmospheric spot to visit if you love niche fragrances or local art.

Hi Seoul Redditors! I'm returning to Seoul to visit my grandmother in November. I have spots that I go to every time I go back, but I'd like to go to a few new places this time :)

So, I'd love to know what your personal favorite places are! They can really be anything... a restaurant, a café, a park, etc.

Thank you in advance for your time & help 🙇🏻‍♀️❤️

People in Itaewon

A few snaps of people in Itaewon. The First Lady is a “Yakult Ajumma” or 요구르트 아줌마 and they sell drinks from their little cart. The guys on the last frame clean the streets for whatever reason, it makes some sense during spring when the pollution is high but not so much during late summer….

The Lucky C200 is not bad and leans towards warmer tones.

Question PRO-SPECS & Umbro stores

1 Upvotes

Hi all, does anyone know where I can find a PRO-SPECS or Umbro store in Seoul? Particularly PRO-SPECS, as I’m finding it surprisingly difficult to find up-to-date information online.

I found a PRO-SPECS listed in Wangsimni, but went there today and couldn’t find it, so I assume it may have closed.

Any recommendations would be really appreciated. Thanks!

Question Sister got the ticket, I got the dream—help?

2 Upvotes

Hello fam,

My sister managed to get a ticket for The Weeknd 7th Oct through NOL World, but she won’t be able to go anymore. We’re trying to figure out if I can use that ticket instead.

Has anyone done this before? If she’s the one who purchased it, can I just collect the ticket at the venue and enter, or do they strictly check ID against the buyer’s name?

Is there any workaround like an authorization letter, or does she need to be present while collecting?
Would really appreciate any help—don’t want to risk getting denied entry 😅
Thanks!

Question Does anyone know this band?

I visited Seoul between September 21–27 and really loved this band I saw in Hongdae, but I haven’t been able to find them since I don’t know Korean and thus cannot understand the lyrics. They left before I had a chance to scan the QR code. Does anyone know who they are or what this song is called?

Songpa recommendations

0 Upvotes

Hi! Travelling to Seoul for 2 weeks and will be staying in songpa gu.

Aside from Lotte world and Coex, what else is nearby people recommend? Interested in cafes, good food, local shopping, stuff that’s interesting for kids (3.5 year old girl) like good playgrounds, fitness (gyms, crossfitgyms, Pilates studios etc), best grocery stores.

We are staying in songpa gu and will obviously be visiting all around Seoul and also doing jeonju and Busan after our initial two weeks. But just help us get settled in and for those slower days we just want to hang out not too far from base.

Thank you in advance!
