Venue logic

Transit & venue notes

A compact campus arena on Line 6, easy to reach but tucked up a hill on Korea University's grounds, so the last stretch is a climb.

Best default route

Main
Anam Station (Seoul Subway Line 6), Exit 1
Secondary
Korea University Station (Line 6) with the Seongbuk 20 village bus, or a short taxi up the hill
Walking
About 12 minutes uphill (800m) from Anam Station Exit 1

Typical approaches

  • Myeongdong / Euljiro -> Line 2 or 4 -> transfer to Line 6 -> Anam
  • Itaewon / Hapjeong -> Line 6 direct -> Anam
  • Hongdae -> Line 2 one stop to Hapjeong -> Line 6 -> Anam
  • Dongdaemun -> Line 1 one stop to Dongmyo -> Line 6 -> Anam
  • ICN -> AREX to Seoul Station -> transfer toward Line 6

Venue tips

  • Anam Station Exit 1 is closest, but the walk to the gym climbs across campus, so leave a few extra minutes.
  • It seats only about 8,000, so the crowd clears faster than a dome, though the campus streets are narrow.
  • The Korea University main-gate strip has cheap student food and cafes open late, handy before or after.

Getting back after the show

  • This is a small campus arena, about 8,000 seats, so the after-show crowd is nowhere near dome scale. The pinch is the narrow campus streets and the downhill walk back to Anam Station, not the platform.
  • Shows here wrap by 22:00 to 22:30, so on paper the last train is not tight. The catch is where it goes. Westbound out of Anam on a weekend the board's last train, 23:54, terminates at Hangangjin, one stop short of Itaewon. The last one that reaches Itaewon and Gongdeok is 23:43, and the last that runs the full line to Hapjeong, Mangwon and Eungam is 23:21, half an hour before the board's last.
  • Weekdays run about 50 minutes later with the same shape: 24:46 dies at Hangangjin, 24:32 reaches Gongdeok, and 23:57 is the last all the way to Eungam.
  • Taxis surge about 1.4 to 1.6 times right by campus for the first half hour. Walk a couple of blocks down toward Anam Station or the main gate and hail one off the bigger road, or set your Kakao T ride before you leave your seat.
  • Going to Itaewon after? Line 6 from Anam runs straight there with no transfer, which is the easy late-night move from this venue, as long as you are on the 23:43 or earlier at the weekend. Hongdae is not on Line 6: ride to Hapjeong and change to Line 2 for one stop, and the last Line 2 from Hapjeong to Hongik Univ is 23:58 at the weekend.

Drop the bags first

Where to stash your luggage

Anam Station right by the gym has no lockers you can count on, so use the lockers one stop north at Korea University Station, or a 24/7 app near your stay for a late finish.

Numbered pins are the storage spots below (straight-line distance from the venue; see each card for the walk). The 24/7 apps cover the whole city, so they are not pinned.

One stop north on Line 6, the nearest dependable coin lockers; good if you're back before the station closes around midnight.

First time in Korea?

The 6 things to sort before you land

A five-minute setup that makes the whole trip smoother, especially if you don't read Korean.

Use Naver Map or KakaoMap

Google Maps can't do walking or transit directions in Korea. Download Naver Map or KakaoMap; both have English and accurate subway timing.

Grab a T-money card

Buy one at any convenience store (CU, GS25), top it up with cash, and tap onto every subway and bus. It also gives cheap transfers.

Get an eSIM or pocket WiFi

Pick one up at the airport or buy an eSIM before you fly. You'll need data for maps, translation, and booking on the go. The usual pick: SKT unlimited eSIM on Klook

Mind the last train

The subway runs roughly 05:30–24:00. If the show ends late, plan the last train or use the Kakao T app to call a taxi.

Cards work, but carry some cash

Korea is card-friendly, but street-food stalls and traditional markets often want cash. Use ATMs marked 'Global' for foreign cards.

Papago beats Google Translate

For Korean, the Papago app translates menus and signs far better. Many restaurants also have photo menus or tablets with English.

Official notes

Before you book

Red Velvet's full-group return after two years, a fan-con for their 12th anniversary (Aug 1 is the actual debut day). SM added a third night on Friday July 31 and reopened leftover seats in the July 15 general sale, and that cleared the rest: Korean outlets reported all three nights fully sold out on July 16, added show included. From here it's official-channel returns or nothing, so watch Melon Ticket Global rather than resellers.
