EMK Musical Company

The Cradle of K-Musicals Floating in the Air

5th floor, Sum, Building 176 Nonhyeon-ro, Gangnam-gu, Seoul

Introduction

This turns out to be the headquarters of EMK Musical Company — and what a fitting choice it is. This 8-story building with 2 basement levels was completed in 2021. Its unconventional exterior may appear whimsical at first glance, but a meticulous architectural strategy lies beneath: 'outdoor spaces floating in mid-air' secure private areas for the company. The exposed staircases on each floor also serve as experimental stages for EMK's various events. Another distinctive feature is how the building's freely arranged elements provide public amenities to the community.
