- Guests joining the walking tour must arrive at the designated meeting point by 10:00 AM.

Entry may be denied if a guest attempts to use another person’s identification, even if the guest claims that the document belongs to them.
- There are no exceptions for differences caused by cosmetic surgery, makeup, or photo editing. Verification is based on basic facial features and overall appearance. If staff cannot reasonably confirm that the identification photograph and the guest are the same person, entry may be denied regardless of the explanation provided.
- Guests concerned about identity verification should prepare additional supporting materials in advance. If your current appearance differs significantly from your identification photograph, please bring an additional identification document or other commonly accepted photographic evidence that can help verify your identity. Staff will review the submitted materials and provide reasonable assistance at the venue.

This was a great experience. Make sure u book at least 2 months out as date sell out fast. Got to see P1 Harmony and experience how the show is put together. The walking tour before the show was amazing as we had not gone to those locations prior. Only downside was the time to find lunch was limited as there are not many vegan options in the area. Otherwise would do it again when I go back to Seoul.

I have purchased performance tickets on this platform many times. Every experience has been excellent. The purchased time of live broadcast ticket for SBS this time was not early, but the number distributed to me was still very small. I’m very grateful. I think KoreaTravelEasy is a very good platform. Every time I want to watch a performance in South Korea, I always give priority to this platform.

I recently went on the 23rd, and I had a blast. The host and guest were all very friendly and of course I got to see ITZY perform Tunnel Vision Live. The other groups did well too.
To*** P*** United States (US)
Woo hoo. I got like the best seats at the music show. I was able to see ITZY walk up to the interview stage and walk back out afterwards. ITZY also came out at the end on the left end of the stage, so I was able to see them.

It was such a wonderful experience since I’m a kpop fan, particularly of Itzy. I was hesitant at first to join the walking tour considering the hot weather but it was worth. Our guide Mr. Coby and all the people from the company are all nice and helpful. I got to learn not just about a little bit of Korean culture, but also politics and music. I also liked our HiKr experience, but really my favorite part was the Inkigayo. Can’t believe I got to witness the recording and behind the scenes watching kpop groups perform and being interviewed. Seeing Itzy upclose was really the highlight. Overall this is very much recommended tour. Thank you.

Ra*** K*** United States (US)
My daughter and I really enjoyed going to the SBS Inkigayo taping. It was fun to see all the different Kpop acts and watch how they film it for live television. We sat near where the MC’s interview the Kpop groups so that was nice to see close up. We were notified about 2 days before that we needed to meet earlier in the day due to the presidential election. I feel that KoreaTravel Easy dod a wonderful job notifying me on both my email and my WhatsApp. The earlier time ended up being better for my daughter and me because we were going to Weverse Con in the evening so the earlier Inkigayo taping time gave us more time to get to the Weverse Con venue in Incheon. The only thing to me that was a little frustrating was that there were multiple tour groups at the same meeting spot. I thought it was only going to be KoreaTravel Easy tour group people. There were about 150 people from it seemed like about 4 different travel companies. It was a bit confusing. Other people seemed confused too. It did turn out well in the end though but just a little frustrating and confusing. I loved the communication I recieved from KoreaTravel Easy. Every time I had a question and emailed them, they answered me back right away and even gave me thorough instructions on how to get a taxi from the SBS Inkigayo building to the concert venue in Incheon. My daughter and I did really enjoy the SBS Inkigayo experience.

Fascinating to see how Inkigayo works behind the scenes. The different stages, the groups being ushered around. Fan interactions from the idols and MC’s. The tour prior to the show was also interesting. Our guide (forgot her name – female, glasses) was very informative and humorous. A great experience and highlight of my trip to Korea!

Everything was so organized, and we felt very comfortable. Thanks to all the information I received beforehand via email, we knew exactly what to expect. Inkigayo was an unforgettable experience that I highly recommend to everyone! The show was amazing, and you get to see the idols up close. Thank you so much!

I bought a ticket to watch ITZY Yeji’s air performance, and I was not disappointed. I got a great seat, and I got to see alot of the artist go to the interview stage and introdue their new song. It’s too bad I have to buy tickets two weeks in advance or I’d buy a ticket for this upcoming Sunday as well.

Was nice weather that day which i think does make a difference with the walking tour portion of the day. There are maybe two hills during the walk that get the heart pumping so wear good shoes and keep that in mind if you don’t have a good heart. the museums/art galleries were very nice and i would have never thought to go there on my own but do appreciate being introduced to them. Our tour guide was nice and energetic. plenty of food options near the SBS building for lunch right before you line up for the show. I say, make sure to eat breakfast beforehand but you’ll definitely have a little bit of time for lunch before Inkigayo. Inkigayo was fun. I only knew one group/performer but it was still cool to go to and i did like most of the performances because i like live music. A little expensive but definitely worth it, especially if you know the groups performing. unfortunately, won’t know who’s performing til the day or two before if you research it yourself.

If you are looking to learn more about South Korea and have a fun afternoon enjoying K-pop, I would definitely recommend this! The tour was very nice, a lot of information about the culture was given, the tour guides were all nice and very helpful if you have any questions! Inkigayo was fun as well. All-in-all well organized!

Very good experience. The tour was fun and interesting. The tour guide was very funny and kind. It was well organised and seeing Inkigayo was also very funny and a really nice experience! Since the studio is really small, everyone has a good view of the idols performing which is amazing. Would recommend!

It was a very fun experience, and interesting to see how SBS records their programs. Also the tour guide was very sweet and funny. I would definitely go again!
