Concert venue guide · Seoul · Not a filming location

Olympic Hall

Olympic Hall (올림픽홀) is Olympic Park’s smaller concert hall — a single-room hall of about 2,500–3,000 people, a step down in scale from the KSPO Dome next door. This page covers the practical facts for a concert trip: how to get there, how big it is, and what to expect. It does not track artists, schedules, or tickets.

This is a concert venue, not a K-drama filming location. Olympic Hall is an event venue, listed here under Concert Venues, separate from our filming-location guides. Do not confuse it with the KSPO Dome (Olympic Gymnastics Arena) or the Ticketlink Live Arena — three different buildings in the same park.

Getting there

Subway (the way to go)

Take the subway to Olympic Park Station on Seoul Subway Lines 5 and 9 and leave by Exit 3. The hall is inside Olympic Park, about a 10-minute walk from the exit. Follow station signs for Olympic Park, then park signs for Olympic Hall — and confirm the building by its Korean name (올림픽홀), not by following a crowd: on nights when several park venues run at once, queues for different halls converge on the same paths.

If you take a taxi, show the driver the Korean name and address:

올림픽홀 (올림픽공원)
서울 송파구 올림픽로 424

Olympic Park has its own parking lots, but parking can be difficult during large events — public transit is the safer choice on a concert day.

The venue

Olympic Hall was built in 2003 on the site of the park’s outdoor tennis courts. In 2010–2011 the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism funded a renovation that reopened it in June 2011 as a venue specifically for popular music, with an expanded stage, a 240-seat small hall for indie musicians and new artists, and an exhibition room on the history of Korean pop. Its typical bookings are solo concerts, fan meetings, and showcases rather than multi-night arena tours.

The hall sits inside Olympic Park, the legacy of the 1988 Seoul Olympics. VisitKorea describes the park as a place where historic remains from the Baekje era share space with modern sports stadiums, an eco-friendly forest and spacious grass fields. Park hours: pedestrian and bicycle access 05:00–22:00 (plaza area until 24:00); vehicle access 06:00–22:00.

What to expect on show night

A hall, not a bowl. Every seat faces the stage from the same side, the throw to the back wall is short, and there is no seat at the far end of a 60-metre floor. The gap between a good seat and an average one is much smaller than at the KSPO Dome.
The floor block varies. The movable floor seats are flat or shallowly raked depending on the configuration — check the seating chart for your show before you buy.
Hours vary by event. Opening, doors and show times are set per event, not by the venue. Use the seating plan published for your show: stage position, floor layout and the blocks actually sold change from event to event.
Bring the event notice, not this page. Bag rules, entry requirements and ID checks are set by each show’s promoter. Confirm them on the event’s own notice before you go.
Arrive with a park plan. The hall is a walk inside a large park with several venues. Check which park gate and path your show uses, and allow time for the walk from the station.
