Current public event watch: K-Culture Station and BIGBANG COSMOS

Seoul opened K-Culture Station on August 24, 2026 in the underground space between City Hall Station and Euljiro 1(il)-ga Station. The city describes it as a permanent public culture platform for K-pop, fashion, media art, and entertainment technology, not a private celebrity location.

Its first program is the BIGBANG 20th Anniversary Media Exhibition "COSMOS," running through September 27, 2026 with timed reservations. For a fan-friendly Seoul day, use it as a central stop near Seoul Plaza, Cheonggyecheon, Myeongdong, and Euljiro, and check the official reservation page before going.
