Partying in Seoul – Where to find the parties

Seoul is one of the largest cities on Earth and as such has parties happening almost everyday. As a Yonsei student you will be given several opportunities for free admission to clubs and also chances to interact with club promoters to run the city. Here are some of the top clubbing promotion networks I encountered while in Seoul:

Krome Entertainment: Organized in 2010 and also constantly planning parties all around Seoul

Sky Events: Social Korea Youth, connecting students from all the Universities in Seoul

Students Gathering in Korea: Promoted 2 School Uniform parties in Hongdae, among other parties

Watz Up Korea: Consistently planning parties around town, including the first Caribbean club nights and basketball-themed parties

Grand Hilton Seoul Oktoberfest Festival 2011

The Grand Hilton Seoul will host their annual Oktoberfest festival this weekend on September 23rd and September 24th. There is much history behind Oktoberfest festivals and they have been held since 1810 in Munich and eventually spread around the world through various other festivals based on the original. There will be beer, traditional German food, games, and the German “Paulaner Oktoberfest Band” performing live. The event starts at 6:00PM on both nights and the price is 120,000 KW (including tax and a service charge).
