Blue Square (Woori WON Banking Hall) — Seating, Sightlines & Getting There
Blue Square is a flagship performing-arts venue in Hannam-dong, Yongsan-gu, Seoul, a frequent home for concerts and musicals. This guide covers the three-tier main hall (formerly Shinhan Card Hall → SOL Travel Hall → now Woori WON Banking Hall). Staging changes per show, but the seating structure and floor-by-floor sightlines are consistent, so it’s worth knowing before you book.
Getting there
- Directly connected to Hangangjin Station (Line 6), Exit 2.
- It’s in the Hannam/Itaewon area, so cafés and restaurants are easy before or after.
Seating and sightlines
- 1st floor: closest to the stage. The orchestra pit is shallow and the stage height is moderate, so even front rows (1–4) don’t require craning your neck. The center block faces the stage head-on; far side seats can feel slightly cramped for front-facing productions. A safe pick is around row 10, center.
- 2nd floor: higher up, but great for taking in the whole stage. The rake is moderate and sightlines are stable. The very front (row A) can catch the railing in view, so if you’re sensitive, choose row 2 or back. Locals rate the mid rows here as the “value” seats.
- 3rd floor: the top tier, noticeably far from the stage. Better for overall lighting and choreography than facial detail, and cheaper. The steps are high and steep — bring opera glasses.
- In short: closest immersion 1st-floor center, full staging 2nd-floor center, budget 3rd floor.
Parking
- There is a parking lot but it isn’t large, and the Hannam area gets congested around showtime — take transit (the station connects directly).
- Note: parking operations and fees can change — confirm as of your visit.
Tips
- Even within the same tier, the feel changes with a show’s blocking, turntable and LED placement — check the seat map and staging before booking.
- The direct station connection makes rainy-day arrival easy.
