Korea University Hwajung Gymnasium Concert Guide

🪑 Seating and sightlines

• Stands A–N (3,813 seats): raked seating wrapping the court. The stage sits on the north side and the sections run clockwise from G on the east: G, F, E, D, C, B, A, N, M, L, K, J, I, H. The A/N boundary faces the stage head-on, and G and H are the small sections flanking the stage (129 and 130 seats). Per-section counts are A 262, B 288, C 298, D 268, E 260, F 349, G 129, H 130, I 348, J 260, K 374, L 294, M 291, N 262. The rake means people in front rarely block you, and because the room is not huge, the whole stage reads clearly even from the back.
• Floor: roughly 1,500 seats with chairs, or about 3,000 standing. It is flat, so the person in front matters, and block layouts change completely from show to show — the concert’s own seating chart is the only reliable reference.
• The main arena stage can be built up to about 25m wide × 11m deep × 8m high (around 275m²). An end-stage setup is normal, so stand sections behind the stage are either not sold or flagged as restricted view.
• There are also VIP (166), retractable (796) and press (36) seats for basketball, bringing the listed total to 4,811 — but concerts normally use the A–N stands plus the floor.
• Before booking, check whether your section faces the stage head-on or from the side, and read any restricted-view notice.

Check the distance, angle and height to the stage for any section in the seat view simulator.

🚇 Getting there

• Line 6, Anam Station, Exit 1 — about 800m, roughly a 12-minute walk. Take the escalator toward Korea University Anam Hospital right by the exit, then follow the road to the right; this avoids most of the climb.
• From Korea University Station (Line 6), Exit 3, take the Seongbuk 20 community bus to the Korea University Ice Rink stop and walk about 5 minutes.
• The campus is built on a hill, so leave the heeled shoes at home.

🅿️ Parking

• Hwajung Gymnasium’s own parking is small and paid, and it fills quickly on show days.
• The nearby Korea University Anam Hospital car parks are an option, but hospital visitors come first and space is tight.
• Realistically, Line 6 to Anam Station is the dependable choice.
• ※ Parking operation and rates can change — confirm on your date.

⭐ Tips

• The path from the campus gate to the gymnasium gets crowded close to showtime — arrive 1–2 hours early.
• Do not count on permanent bag storage. Travel light, or use the lockers at Anam Station.
• The Anam-dong area has plenty of cafés and restaurants for before and after the show.
