How do I get back to my hotel after a K-pop concert in Korea?

The subway is almost always the move, but the catch is the crush and the last train. Seoul lines stop around midnight, so a weeknight show that ends near 22:30 can be a real scramble if you are crossing the city. The first couple of trains after a big show pack out, so let one go and the next is a few minutes behind, or walk one stop up the line and board there. For a taxi, set a Kakao T ride before you leave your seat rather than fighting the gate queue. Each of our event guides has the exact line, last-train time, and backup route for that specific venue.
