Free Concert 365 Days a Year in Hongdae District

Hongdae started out as a college town surrounding Hongik University.  Today, it is undoubtedly the most hip city in Korea for its indie music, fashion, arts and clubs!

This is a place you shouldn't miss if you are vising Seoul.  It's a great place to be during the day, and it's fantastic throughout the night.

Many known in Korean bands like Jaurim, Crying Nut and Peppertones are from this street and started as indie bands. The area provides street art festivals and performances, as well as music concerts by independent artists and mainstream entertainers.

The neighborhood overflows with unique cafes, restaurants, shops and clubs along with artists' studios, cultural spaces and festivals year-round. Packed with people on weekends the district can be thumping well past dawn the next day. Revelers may abound but the real Hongdae people and those involved with Street H know it’s not just about clubbing or decadence.

Apart from indie art culture, Hongdae is also home to independent clothing stalls and vintage shops.
