If you looking for the place for
dancing, go to the Hongdea! (the nickname for the area
surrounding Hongik University)
Nightlife in Korea? Looking for a place for the really underground,
groundbreaking, grounded, down-to-earth night life? The kind where
one can roam the streets in either a Balinese sarong or an Armani
suit without anyone batting an eye? Where both ravers with multiple
piercings and lovesick couples in matching polo shirts peacefully
share bar space? Where techno, hip-hop, hard core rock and even
jazz co-exist in a melodic utopia. Hongdae is now holding a monthly
"Club Day" (once a month, last Friday)With each Hongdae
club usually charging from 5,000 won to 10,000 won per person for
admission fee, you'd normally have to spend a lot more to check
