AKMU Encore Concert KINTEX 2027 — Jan 2–3 Times, Halls 3 & 4, GTX-A and Airport Bus

AKMU (악뮤), the sibling duo of Lee Chan-hyuk and Lee Su-hyun, brings the encore of its Paradise of Rumors (소문의 낙원) tour to KINTEX Exhibition Center 1, Halls 3 & 4, on Saturday, January 2, 2027 at 17:00 and Sunday, January 3 at 16:00. The show runs 2 hours 30 minutes, so expect it to wrap up around 19:30 on Saturday and 18:30 on Sunday. From Seoul Station, GTX-A gets you to KINTEX Station in about 16–17 minutes, and Exit 1 is roughly an 11-minute walk from Exhibition Center 1 (map-route estimate). Because it finishes early in the evening, you will still have plenty of time for the last Line 3 train (22:44) and even the last airport bus to Incheon (21:45 from the depot).

Door times and the merch (MD) sales schedule had not been announced as of November 5, 2026. Tickets are sold only on YES24 Ticket, with the fan club presale opening at 20:00 KST on November 9 and the general sale at 20:00 KST on November 10.

KINTEX Halls 3 & 4 Layout — Flat Standing Floor and Tiered Seats#

KINTEX Exhibition Center 1 Halls 3 and 4 are each 63 m wide, 171 m long and 15 m high, with 10,773 m² of floor space and a flat concrete floor (KINTEX facility guide). This show uses both halls, and the YES24 notice describes the seating like this:

Area	Floor	Price	Watch out for
Standing	Flat, no raised levels	176,000 KRW	Ages 12+, no wheelchairs
VIP and R seats	Temporary tiered stands	176,000 KRW / 165,000 KRW	Stands may shake during the show; adjacent seats can have gaps
Restricted view	Temporary tiered stands	154,000 KRW	Structures, effects rigs, cameras or railings block part of the stage

• Standing: On a flat floor, the height of the person in front of you decides what you see. You will be on your feet for 2 hours 30 minutes in early January, so check your heavy coat into a locker and go in wearing lighter layers.
• Reserved seats: These are temporary stands, and the notice warns they can move when people stand up or shift around.
• No refunds for sightlines: Tickets cannot be cancelled, exchanged or refunded on the day because of views blocked by staging or the artists’ positions.

Getting to KINTEX Exhibition Center 1, Halls 3 & 4#

KINTEX Exhibition Center 1 sits between GTX-A KINTEX Station and Line 3 Daehwa Station (대화역), so the walk from either is about the same. OpenStreetMap walking routes put it at roughly 790 m (11 minutes) from KINTEX Station and 900 m (12 minutes) from Daehwa Station. Pick the station by where you are coming from: GTX-A for Seoul Station, central Seoul and the airport rail link, Line 3 for anywhere along that line, including Gangnam.

From	Route	Time	Transfers
Seoul Station	GTX-A → KINTEX Station Exit 1 → walk about 790 m	About 17 min by train + about 11 min on foot	0
Gimpo Airport	Seohae Line → change to GTX-A at Daegok (대곡역) → KINTEX Station	About 45 min	1
Incheon Airport	AREX → change to GTX-A at Seoul Station → KINTEX Station	About 90 min (including transfer time)	1
Gangnam area	Line 3 from Express Bus Terminal or Yangjae → Daehwa Station → walk about 900 m	About 75 min + about 12 min on foot	0

• KINTEX Station Exit 1 (1번 출구): The official GTX-A station guide signs Exit 1 for “KINTEX Exhibition Center 1, Goyang Stadium.” Exit 5 is signed for Exhibition Center 2, which is a different building from this show. The GTX-A platforms are seven floors underground (B7), so allow extra minutes just to reach street level.
• Daehwa Station: The western end of Line 3, so it runs straight to Gangnam (Express Bus Terminal, Gyodae, Yangjae) without changes.
• Transit card: GTX-A, the subway and buses all take a T-money or similar prepaid transit card. Buy and top one up at an airport convenience store or a station machine before you head out.

Step-by-step routes are in Seoul Station to KINTEX, Incheon Airport to KINTEX, Gimpo Airport to KINTEX and Gangnam to Daehwa Station.

When Should You Arrive?#

Door times for the AKMU encore had not been announced as of November 5, 2026. For reference, the Doh Kyung Soo concert in the same Exhibition Center 1 opened doors 90 minutes before showtime. Until the promoter posts entry times, plan to step off the train at KINTEX Station two hours before the show.

Show	Starts	Suggested arrival at KINTEX Station	Expected finish
Saturday, January 2	17:00	Around 15:00	Around 19:30
Sunday, January 3	16:00	Around 14:00	Around 18:30

• Why two hours: Climbing out of a B7 platform, the 11-minute walk from Exit 1, checking your coat and a restroom stop eat up more of the pre-show window than you would expect.
• Standing ticket holders: Standing areas often get their own line-up and entry order. Once the promoter announces a line-up time, plan around that instead.
• Dinner: The Saturday show runs right through dinnertime, so decide in advance whether to eat a light meal before or a proper one near Daehwa Station afterwards. For eating alone after the show, see solo-friendly restaurants near Daehwa Station.

Early-January Cold, Coats and Lockers#

The AKMU encore ends between 18:30 and 19:30 in early January, well after dark, and the walk between Exhibition Center 1 and either station exit is on outdoor sidewalks. That is 10-plus minutes outside each way, so if you check your coat, build the time to collect it into your exit plan.

Storage	Where	Price	Notes
KINTEX coin lockers	Beside the entrances to Halls 1–4, Exhibition Center 1	Small 1,000 KRW / Medium 2,000 KRW / Large 3,000 KRW	Credit card, transit card, cash, Samsung Pay
Daehwa Station lockers	Line 3 Daehwa Station	First 4 hours: Small 2,000 KRW / Medium 3,000 KRW / Large 4,000 KRW	Open 24 hours

• Coat demand: At a winter standing show, many people want to check coats, so the KINTEX coin lockers can fill early. Leave suitcases at your hotel or in the Daehwa Station lockers. Locations and prices are in KINTEX luggage storage.
• Restrooms: Lines outside Halls 3 & 4 tend to grow right before showtime, so go as soon as your bag is in a locker. Whether re-entry is allowed has not been announced.

Getting Home After the AKMU Encore#

The AKMU encore should end around 19:30 on Saturday and 18:30 on Sunday, which leaves more than three hours before the last Line 3 train from Daehwa Station (22:44). The real question is not the last train but where to send yourself through the exit crowd.

Destination	Service and stop	Last departure	Notes
Seoul Station, central Seoul	GTX-A, KINTEX Station Exit 1	00:42 toward Seoul Station	About 17 min to Seoul Station, no changes
Gangnam, Express Bus Terminal, Yangjae	Line 3 toward Dogok, Daehwa Station	22:44 Sat and Sun	Starts at Daehwa; also the last train that connects to Seoul Station via Chungmuro (충무로)
Sungnyemun, Seoul Station (bus)	Bus 1000, Daehwa Station median stop (대화역(중))	From the depot: 23:40 Sat · 23:00 Sun	Passes Daehwa Station 3–5 min after leaving the depot
Hapjeong, Hongik Univ., Sinchon, Gongdeok	Bus M7731, KINTEX stop (킨텍스)	From the depot: 00:30	Reaches the KINTEX stop later than that
Incheon Airport T1 and T2	Airport Bus 3300, Daehwa Station median stop (대화역(중))	From the depot: 21:45	More than 2 hours after the show ends

• Choose the station by destination: From Exhibition Center 1 it is 11 minutes to KINTEX Station and 12 to Daehwa Station. Take GTX-A for Seoul Station and downtown, and Line 3 straight from Daehwa for Gangnam. Daehwa is where Line 3 trains start, so you have a good chance of a seat.
• GTX-A right after the show: When the whole audience heads for KINTEX Station at once, and the platforms are seven floors down, you may queue at the entrance. With this much time before the last trains, eating near Daehwa Station and leaving 30–60 minutes later is a sensible way around it.
• Sunday buses stop earlier: Bus 1000’s last run from the depot is 23:00 on Sundays and public holidays, 40 minutes earlier than Saturday’s 23:40.
• “Last departure” in Korea means just that — once it leaves, there is no later service that night. Full timetables by hour are in getting home from a KINTEX concert, Daehwa Station to Seoul Station and Daehwa Station to Gangnam.

Driving? KINTEX Parking Rates and When the Overflow Lots Close#

KINTEX parking costs 1,240 KRW for the first 20 minutes, then 620 KRW per 10 minutes, capped at 19,000 KRW a day (KINTEX parking guide, checked October 23, 2026). Arriving two hours early and leaving straight after the show means about five hours, which comes to 18,600 KRW — almost the daily cap.

• Overflow lots T2–T4: These open depending on event size and are listed as running 08:00–18:30, which is earlier than the show ends. Check whether they are open that day and how to get your car out before you use them.
• Discounts: 50% off for national merit and disability-registered vehicles, compact cars and certified low-emission cars (no stacking).
• The car park exits jam at the same moment the show lets out. For alternative lots and exit tips, see KINTEX and Goyang Stadium parking.

Tips for International Fans#

YES24 Ticket sells the AKMU encore on its Global site as well. A few points that matter for fans coming from abroad:

• Korean vs. Global site: If you verified for the fan club presale on the Korean site, you can only buy there; if you verified on the Global site, you can only buy on the Global site.
• ID check: Presale tickets are checked at the venue against your photo ID, booking confirmation and mobile Weverse membership card. For visitors from abroad, that means your original passport.
• Wheelchair seats on the Global site: Book by email through YES24 Ticket Global Customer Support (global_yesticket@yes24.com) rather than by phone.
• Finding the building: Search for KINTEX Exhibition Center 1 (킨텍스 제1전시장) in your map app. Exhibition Center 2 (제2전시장) is a separate building.
• Straight to the airport: Because this show finishes early, Airport Bus 3300 is still running afterwards. By rail, take GTX-A to Seoul Station and change to AREX — AREX announced a timetable change on October 23, 2026, so check the official timetable. All the options are in Daehwa Station to Incheon Airport.
• Address for taxis: KINTEX, 217 Kintex-ro, Ilsanseo-gu, Goyang-si (경기도 고양시 일산서구 킨텍스로 217). Ask for “제1전시장” (Exhibition Center 1).
