Performance art as a feast for the senses

Performing arts such as plays, musicals, and concerts have now become familiar cultural and artistic activities. Gangnam-gu has many performance halls suitable for various performing arts events, including COEX. Let’s take a look at some of the representative spaces.

COEX Shinhan Card Artium

COEX Shinhan Card Artium is a large performance hall with 1,004 seats. Starting with the musical ‘Brothers Were Brave’, which opened in 2009, the musicals ‘Almond’, ‘Fan Letter’, and ‘March of Youth’ have been performed so far, and it is also loved as a space for concerts and fan meetings. The audience seats are on the 5th and 6th floors of the building, and the ticket booth is on the 5th floor. Because it is located right next to the Trade Tower, it is convenient to use Samseong Station on Line 2. When using the parking lot, the COEX Mall East Gate parking lot is nearby.

VOD SUITE

A high-end private theater operating under the concept of Korea’s first streaming-type private cinema. At this place, which means ‘watching VOD in a SUITE space,’ you can choose to watch the videos you want, such as Netflix, Disney Plus, Series On, TVING, and personal videos that cannot be seen in movie theaters. I recommend this place to anyone who wants to watch the content they want while feeling the atmosphere of a movie theater.

Baekam Art Hall

Baekam Art Hall has been hosting performances of various genres, including musicals, concerts, plays, and dance, since its opening in 2004. It is a medium-sized theater with a total seating capacity of 417. Musicals such as ‘Hedwig’ and ‘Story of Life’ were performed at Baekam Art Hall. The audience seats and ticket booth are located on the second basement level. It is easy to access by public transportation as it takes about 5 minutes on foot from Exit 8 of Samseong Station, but the parking lot is very small. We recommend using the nearby Tancheon parking lot. Baekam Art Holte Heran-ro 113-gil 7 Baekam Center
