🚄 Getting to Busan & the Stadium
- From Seoul: KTX or SRT high-speed rail reaches Busan in ~2.5 hours. Book round-trip early — concert-weekend trains sell out fast, and note the last train time.
- From abroad: Fly into Gimhae International Airport (PUS), then take the light rail + subway into the city. Many international fans also fly into Seoul (ICN) and take the KTX down.
- To the venue: Busan Asiad Main Stadium is near Sports Complex Station (Line 3). Use the subway — huge crowds exit at once after the show, so public transit beats driving.
🏨 Where to Stay
- Seomyeon: Central transit hub, great for subway access and nightlife.
- Haeundae: Beach district — stay by the sea and ride the subway to the venue.
- Near Sajik / Sports Complex: Closest to the stadium for an easy post-show walk.
Hotels are already filling up and prices are surging for the concert weekend. Book now. If attending both nights, a single multi-night stay is easiest.
🌊 What to Do in Busan
Make a trip of it. Don't miss Haeundae and Gwangalli beaches, the colorful Gamcheon Culture Village, Jagalchi fish market for fresh seafood, and Busan's famous dwaeji gukbap (pork soup). A relaxed beach day after the concert is the perfect wind-down.
