KT&G Sangsangmadang Live Hall (Hongdae) — Seating, Sightlines & Getting There
KT&G Sangsangmadang Live Hall is a small-to-mid live venue on basement level 2 of the “Sangsangmadang” culture complex at 65 Eoulmadang-ro, Mapo-gu, Seoul. Unlike big arenas, the stage sits close to the audience — a good fit if you want to see the artist up close.
Getting there
- Walkable from several lines: Hongik Univ. Station (Line 2), Sangsu Station (Line 6), and Hapjeong Station (Lines 2 / 6).
