(Crowds gather at Seoul Plaza to watch a K-pop concert)
But isn't it more interesting to know that an open space can provide unique events and gather people together for some fun and enjoyment?

It also hosts protest rallies as a venue for the citizenry's outcry. But on a few sad occasions, the Seoul Plaza hosted memorials for the late President Kim Dae-Jung and the memorial of the 46 sailors who died in the sinking of a frigate in March 2010. Those were sad times in Korea.😪

It turned out a free K-pop concert was happening and as expected, a lot of youngsters in the audience alongside families who were out on a weekend. K-pop concerts in Seoul are pricey and are held either at the Jamsil area or Olympic Park, which are both in the southwest area of Seoul and far from the city center.
(Which k-pop boy band is this?)
These free k-pop concerts in an open-air venue at the city center with convenient access by bus and subway are not just a treat but a fun experience, especially for tourists!
Yes, if you're a K-pop fan who's just visiting Seoul for a few days and wasn't really expecting to watch a k-pop concert, wouldn't this be like a miracle of sorts? An unforgettable experience if you're a diehard k-pop fan!
So, when you're in Seoul, do ask the tourist information desks at the tourist centers, or the tourist guides wearing red jackets who walk around the crowded areas like Myeongdong, Insadong or Namdaemun. They can help you find out what's happening at the Seoul Plaza during your stay. Your itinerary may end up including a free k-pop concert at Seoul Plaza!😀

Now, you know that Seoul Plaza should be in your list of places to visit when you're in Seoul.😄
