Itinerary

The Secret Stage of Dongdaemun Revived after 96 years, Onggi Concert Step into a hidden 1900s theater in Dongdaemun. Enjoy the exclusivity of just 40 VIP seats, an intimate masterclass in natural acoustics without microphones, and refined Joseon royal-style hospitality. The moment the elevator doors open on the 9th floor of the new building of Dongdaemun Shopping Complex, the hidden and mysterious Gwangmudae stage, concealed for nearly a century, reveals itself. The spirit of 'Gwangmudae', once the center of Korea's modern performing arts scene before it was lost in a fire in 1930, has been revived in the same Dongdaemun area after 96 years. Onggi Concert is a unique two-hour cultural curation journey that flows from the White Room to Black Room, and back again to the White Room.

About Seoul

Royal palaces and hanok villages sit among glass towers, buzzing markets and late-night food streets in Seoul, South Korea's capital.

Five grand palaces from the Joseon dynasty grace the city, led by Gyeongbokgung, with its colourful changing of the guard, and Changdeokgung, whose Secret Garden is a serene escape. Between them, Bukchon Hanok Village preserves traditional tiled-roof houses on sloping lanes, and Insadong is known for tea houses, galleries and crafts.
