Hongdae (Busking)

In the Hongdae vicinity, there are 10 clubs and performance venues that participate in "Hongdae Live Club Day" on the last Friday of every month.You get to hear Jazz, hip hop, electronic music, cross over, etc.


As you walk through the ever crowded streets of Hongdae, it is almost guaranteed that you will hear music and cheering. Upon following the sound, you'll discover musicians pouring out their hearts through song, dance, and many other genres. This culture of busking started in Hongdae a few years ago and has become a way for artists and musicians to express themselves freely. Anyone and everyone can simply just stop for a few moments on the street to get a peek; there's no need for a ticket like a regular performance. More than you would imagine, these street performers gain quite a lot of attention and there is usually a huge crowd gathered around them, making you even more curious to see what the hype is all about. Although these performers aren't necessarily famous, they take pride in their work and make an effort to make a unique impression on the audience and the level of excellence is constantly going up.
