Where to Wait Before the Show#

October in Korea is a pleasant autumn season, but it can get chilly outdoors as the sun sets. Since KINTEX Exhibition Center 2 has fully air-conditioned/heated indoor lobby spaces, it is best to stay indoors to conserve your energy.

Hyundai Department Store (KINTEX Branch): Located just behind KINTEX Exhibition Center 1. It is a 10～15 minute walk from Center 2, offering a vast array of cafes, restaurants, and a comfortable indoor environment.
Exhibition Center 2 Cafes: There are several franchise cafes and food stalls located on the 1st and 2nd floors of the lobby.

Nearby Dining Recommendations#

Hyundai Department Store Food Hall: Situated in the basement level, it provides a clean environment and a wide variety of meals before the concert.
Lafesta (라페스타) and Western Dom (웨스턴돔): Although they require a short bus or taxi ride from Daehwa Station, these are major dining districts ideal if you want a hearty meal or a place to celebrate after the show.

Restrooms, Convenience Stores, and Lockers#

Tips on managing your luggage and locating essential facilities so you can enjoy the concert without worry.

Restrooms: Restrooms are located near every exhibition hall entrance and lobby floor in Exhibition Center 2. Lines get extremely long right before the show, so consider using the restrooms on the 2nd floor or inside the department store beforehand.

How to Head Back After the Show#

The concert is expected to end around 21:00. Given that 10,000 people will leave simultaneously, planning your return route in advance is critical.

Returning via GTX-A KINTEX Station: This is the fastest way back to Seoul. However, to prevent overcrowding, station staff may restrict entry to the platforms temporarily. Be sure to check the last train schedule in advance.
Detour via Subway Line 3 (Daehwa Station): Daehwa Station is a 20-minute walk from Center 2. If the GTX-A KINTEX Station entrance has long queues due to safety control, walking slowly toward Daehwa Station or Juyeop Station (주엽역) to take Subway Line 3 is a smart way to avoid the crowd.

Tips for International Visitors#

Get a T-money Card: Make sure to purchase and top up a T-money transit card at an airport convenience store or subway station before traveling. It is required for all buses and subways.
Verify Station Names: Match the English names on the subway screen doors (e.g., KINTEX Station, Daehwa Station) to ensure you do not miss your stop.
Passport Required: International ticket holders must bring their physical passport or alien registration card (ARC) along with their ticket reservation page to verify identity at the ticket box.
