Hongdae

Hongdae (홍대) — short for Hongik University area — is Seoul’s most energetic neighborhood, where street artists, musicians, and partygoers coexist around the clock.

Street Performances

Every weekend, the pedestrian plazas fill with buskers and K-pop dance cover teams. Saturday nights from 7pm are the best time to catch spontaneous performances.

Nightlife

Hongdae’s club scene is world-class. Club FF, NB2, and Cocco Club are perennial favorites. Most clubs open at 10pm and run until dawn, with entry fees around 10,000–20,000 KRW including a drink.
