K-Pop Concerts
One of the most popular ways to experience K-pop in Seoul is by seeing a live performance. Visit the set of Mnet, a Korean music television station where you can attend a taping, tour the studio, and see top singers perform live and up close. Visit the CJ E&M Center, Korea’s number-one entertainment company, where you can watch a live show and listen to chart-topping songs by top K-pop stars and idols on M! Countdown. If you can’t make it to a live studio show, experience the next best thing at Klive. This innovative venue features hologram performances by some of the genre’s biggest stars, including Psy, 2NE1, and Big Bang.
TV Tours
Korean pop culture extends beyond music into the realm of television. See where some of Korean TV’s most famous shows and scenes— My Love from the Star, Winter Sonata, and The Moon That Embraces the Sun, to name a few—were filmed by touring the sets and filming locations.
