Jangchung Gymnasium

Jangchung Gymnasium is located near Myeong-dong in the heart of Seoul. Spanning from two basement levels to three floors above ground, it offers a comfortable viewing experience with a total of 4,507 seats. The venue has hosted various K-pop events, including SHINee Taemin’s concert, Sung Si-kyung’s fan meeting, and TVXQ’s Kim Jaejoong’s 20th anniversary concert.

The audience seating is spread across two floors. For concerts, the stage is typically set up near sections G to J, while sections A and P face the stage directly. Keep in mind that the seating layout may vary depending on the event. The venue includes both standing and reserved seating, with foldable chairs provided in the reserved areas.

Jangchung Gymnasium is located right in front of Exit 5 of Dongguk Univ. Station on Subway Line 3. With its excellent accessibility, taking the subway is the most convenient way to get there from anywhere in Seoul. It takes around 30 minutes or less (with one transfer) from major stations like Seoul Station, Gangnam Station, Hongdae Station, and Jamsil Station. From Myeongdong Station, it's only about 10 minutes (with one transfer).

From Incheon International Airport, you can take Bus 6001 or 6702 and get off at Chungmuro Station. From there, it's just one subway stop away to Jangchung Gymnasium. If you're coming from Gangnam Station, take Bus 420 from Exit 4 or Bus 144 near Exit 11—both routes take about 30 minutes. While buses are available, the subway is generally the more convenient option for getting to Jangchung Gymnasium from areas like Jamsil, Seoul Station, and other parts of the city.

When you exit from Exit 5 of Dongguk University Station (Line 3), you'll see Jangchung Gymnasium right in front of you. The nearest entrance from the station is Gate 2, which serves as the main entrance to the venue.

Dongguk Univ. Station can get crowded right after the concert. Since Yaksu Station (Line 3) is only a 7-minute walk away, so it can be a good alternative. Depending on your destination, at least one transfer may be required, so it's best to check the last train schedule in advance using a subway app. On weekdays, for example, if you're heading to Seoul Station, you’ll need to board the last train by 12:48 a.m. to transfer at Chungmuro.

To get to Gangnam Station, you can take Bus 144 or catch Bus 420 near Exit 2—both routes will get you there in about 30 minutes. If you're heading home after 11:30 p.m. and traveling toward Gangnam, Samseong, or Jamsil, it's better to take the late-night bus N13 from right in front of Jangchung Gymnasium. For destinations near Myeongdong or Seoul Station, subway is the better choice.

Due to heavy traffic and large crowds right after the show, it's recommended to book a taxi in advance using a taxi app. Instead of trying to catch a cab directly in front of Jangchung Gymnasium, it’s better to cross the street toward Exit 2 or walk to nearby Yaksu Station for a smoother pickup.
