The 2026 BOL4 CONCERT TOUR 〈Red Square〉 in SEOUL kicks off at KINTEX Exhibition Center 2, Hall 8B on November 7 (Sat) at 18:00 and November 8 (Sun) at 17:00. Celebrating the 10th debut anniversary of BOL4 (Ahn Ji-young), this show launches her global tour. With the GTX-A express line open, KINTEX Station is just 17 minutes from Seoul Station.
This Seoul performance was originally scheduled to take place at Olympic Park Handball Gymnasium (TICKETLINK LIVE ARENA), but was relocated to KINTEX Exhibition Center 2 due to arena facility constraints. Because exhibition halls feature flat concrete flooring rather than stepped stadium seating, understanding sightlines and transit connections beforehand will save you time and frustration. Furthermore, a massive gaming festival takes place right next door in Hall 9, meaning corridors and amenities will be crowded.

Venue Relocation and Hall 8B Sightlines#
Unlike the original Olympic Park venue, which was a dedicated indoor arena with banked tiers wrapping around the court, KINTEX Exhibition Center 2 is a flat convention hall.
- Flat floor seating: Temporary folding chairs are aligned across the bare floor without fixed tiered risers. Even in VIP floor blocks near the stage, your line of sight to the performer can be partially obstructed by taller audience members sitting ahead.
- Rear visibility: Even if the organizers deploy temporary stepped risers for rear sections, convention halls are long and deep, making the stage feel farther away than in an arena of comparable capacity.
- Hall positioning: Hall 8 is located on the 1st floor of Exhibition Center 2, sandwiched between Hall 7 and Hall 9. Hall 8B occupies the inner portion of the hall.
Getting to KINTEX Exhibition Center 2#
For visitors coming from central Seoul or nearby transit hubs, GTX-A KINTEX Station is far superior to Line 3 Daehwa Station in both travel duration and walking distance.
| Origin | Recommended Route | Estimated Travel Time | Transfers |
|---|---|---|---|
| Seoul Station (서울역) | GTX-A direct → KINTEX Station Exit 5 → Walk | 17 min train + 9 min walk | 0 |
| Gimpo Airport (GMP) | Seohae Line to Daegok Station → GTX-A to KINTEX | Approx. 45 min | 1 |
| Incheon Airport (ICN) | AREX train to Seoul Station → GTX-A to KINTEX | Approx. 90 min (with transfer) | 1 |
| Gangnam Station | Shinbundang Line to Sinsa → Line 3 to Daehwa → Walk 20 min | Approx. 75 min to Daehwa | 1 |
| Hongdae / Hapjeong | Express Bus M7731 → KINTEX bus stop | Traffic dependent | 0 |
| Bundang (Seongnam) | Direct Bus 8109 → KINTEX Exhibition Center 2 (terminal) | Traffic dependent | 0 |
- GTX-A KINTEX Station Exit 5: Official exit maps designate Exit 5 for KINTEX Exhibition Center 2. After exiting, follow the wide sidewalk alongside Onnuri Park for roughly 670 meters (9–10 minutes) to reach the main plaza of Exhibition Center 2. Note that the station platforms are situated on basement level 7 (B7), so allow 5 to 7 minutes just to ascend via escalators and elevators to ground level.
- Line 3 Daehwa Station: While Daehwa Station is roughly 12 minutes on foot from Exhibition Center 1, it sits more than 1.5 km (over 20 minutes walk) away from Exhibition Center 2. Arriving via GTX-A minimizes fatigue.
Detailed step-by-step transit breakdowns can be found in our guides for Seoul Station to KINTEX and Incheon Airport to KINTEX.
Arrival Timing Recommendations#
Because the concert is entirely reserved seating, there is no need to queue outside for hours as one might for a general admission standing pit. However, arriving at least 1.5 hours prior to the show is strongly advised.
- Saturday, Nov 7 (18:00 Show): Doors typically open around 16:30 to 17:00. Weekend traffic around Ilsan peaks during late afternoon, and lines for ticket booths and onsite lockers lengthen significantly. Arriving around 16:00 allows you to pick up tickets, visit the restroom, and locate your seat calmly.
- Sunday, Nov 8 (17:00 Show): Starts one hour earlier at 17:00. If you plan to browse official tour merchandise or take photos in front of the venue backdrop, target an arrival window around 15:00.
Concurrent Weekend Events and Congestion Warnings#
The most critical factor to anticipate is the massive overlap with subculture events in the same complex.
- Exhibition Center 2, Hall 9: Blue Archive 5th Anniversary Festival: Operating both days from 10:00 to 18:00 right beside Hall 8B. This event draws an estimated 12,000 gaming enthusiasts across the weekend, flooding the ground-floor concourse, dining outlets, and rest areas.
- Exhibition Center 1: Comic World 339 Ilsan: Spans halls in Center 1 from 11:00 to 16:30 on both Saturday and Sunday, drawing thousands of anime and cosplay fans.
- Peak concourse crossover: Between 16:30 and 17:30 on Saturday, departing attendees from Comic World and Blue Archive will collide directly with incoming BOL4 concertgoers throughout the Center 2 lobby and outdoor plaza.
- Parking shortage: The venue parking lots are guaranteed to fill up by early afternoon. Driving is strongly discouraged. If bringing a vehicle is unavoidable, consult our KINTEX & Goyang Stadium Parking Guide for backup park-and-ride options.
Restrooms, Lockers, and Amenities#
- Luggage lockers: Electronic storage lockers in Exhibition Center 2 are located on the 1st floor near Halls 6 and 10, as well as the 2nd-floor central lobby. Pricing is 1,000 KRW (small), 2,000 KRW (medium), and 3,000 KRW (large), payable by credit card, T-money, or mobile pay. Due to festival crowds in Hall 9, lockers will likely fill up early. Leave heavy suitcases at your hotel if possible, or review our KINTEX Luggage Storage Guide.
- Restroom queues: First-floor concourse restrooms develop long queues 45 minutes before showtime. Take the escalator up to the 2nd floor lobby or conference hall wings where restroom wait times are considerably shorter.
- Convenience stores: 1st-floor stores will be jammed with lines for bottled water and snacks. Consider buying beverages beforehand at convenience stores near KINTEX Station Exit 5.
Returning Home After the Concert#
With a runtime of approximately 120 minutes, Saturday’s performance ends around 20:00, and Sunday’s show concludes around 19:00. Both finish well before late-night transit curfews.
| Mode | Boarding Point | Destination & Last Departure | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| GTX-A | KINTEX Station Exit 5 | Seoul Station at 00:42 | 17 min express ride |
| Subway Line 3 | Daehwa Station Exits 2 & 3 | Dogok bound (for Seoul transfers/Gangnam) at 22:44 | Origin station, guaranteed seating |

| Circular Bus 8407 | KINTEX Center 2 | Anyang Beomgye Station at 23:40 | Connects to southwest Gyeonggi |
- Toward Seoul Station & Central Hubs: Walking 9 minutes back to GTX-A KINTEX Station and taking the train to Seoul Station is the fastest and most reliable route. From Seoul Station, late-night buses and intra-city subway connections run until after midnight.
- Toward Hongdae & Mapo: The M7731 express bus picks up right in front of Exhibition Center 2 and drops off directly at Hapjeong and Hongik University stations without transfers.

Tips for International Fans#
- Transit payment: Foreign credit cards cannot be tapped directly at subway faregates or onboard city buses. Purchase a transit card (T-money or WOWPASS) at airport convenience stores upon arrival and load it with Korean Won cash.
- Will-call passport check: Foreign ticket purchasers must collect physical tickets at the venue will-call booth. Bring your original passport and a copy of your ticket confirmation receipt.

FAQ
What time does the BOL4 concert start, and how long is the runtime?
The show starts at 18:00 on Saturday, November 7, and at 17:00 on Sunday, November 8, 2026. The estimated runtime is 120 minutes (2 hours), finishing around 20:00 on Saturday and 19:00 on Sunday.
Was the venue changed from Olympic Park to KINTEX?
Yes. The concert was originally scheduled at TICKETLINK LIVE ARENA (Olympic Handball Gymnasium) in Seoul, but was moved to KINTEX Exhibition Center 2 (Hall 8B) in Goyang due to venue facility circumstances.
Which transit route is fastest from central Seoul to KINTEX Hall 8B?
Take the GTX-A high-speed commuter train from Seoul Station directly to KINTEX Station (approx. 17 minutes). From Exit 5, it is a 9 to 10-minute walk (approx. 670 meters) to Exhibition Center 2.
What is the seating arrangement and sightline like in Hall 8B?
KINTEX is a convention hall with completely flat concrete floors. While the concert is fully seated, front floor sections do not have tiered risers, which may result in view obstruction depending on the height of attendees in front of you.
Are there other major events happening at KINTEX on the same weekend?
Yes. Hall 9 right next door hosts the Blue Archive 5th Anniversary Festival with roughly 12,000 attendees, and Exhibition Center 1 hosts Comic World 339. Expect heavy congestion in lobbies, restrooms, and parking lots.
