Planning something for New Year's Eve 2025?

First time in Seoul, looking for a nice bar for countdown. Vibey but not too crazy crowded, any recommendations?

Check out some of the rooftop bars in the Itaewon area. They often have great New Year's Eve events, good views, and a decent balance of atmosphere and crowd size. Book ahead though, it's Seoul, things fill up fast.

Floating Theatre Mysteries

Nodeulseom Island

So, I'm heading to Nodeulseom Island next month. I've heard incredible things about the open-air theatre, it sounds amazing. But I'm curious – how do they handle bad weather? It's outdoors, right?… more

They're pretty good at handling it. I saw a show there a couple of years ago – light drizzle started about halfway through, and they just kept going! The audience mostly stayed put; a few people popped up umbrellas but most just seemed to enjoy the slightly surreal experience of Shakespeare under the Seoul sky with a sprinkle. I think they have a pretty strict cancellation policy tied to actual heavy rain, not just a light shower. Check their website for details; it’ll probably list specific weather conditions that lead to cancellation. But honestly, don't stress too much; they've been doing this for a while, they know what they're doing.
