Overall a good experience. By purchasing the ticket very early, me and my friend were able to do barricade. Mind that the tour operators zone for the public is not in front of the stage, but on the side, so you cannot see the idols very very close.
Je*** L*** Singapore
Amazing! Gave us good tickets due to early bird promotion, and was able to get the barricade spots to see favorite artists

It’s good and the staff is kind. Enjoyed the tour and the event, just a feedback for the concert (not to koreatraveleasy because they did well) hope that Gangnam organizers will also prioritize international fans (there’s a lot of space in all zones and it’s actually good looking if all zones are almost full or like so many fans can see near because I just watched in the screen all the time 😅 and also saw someone sneaked out below the rail). All in all, still great! Live vocals of kpop idols, be sure to check them out~👌🫶
KoreaTravelEasy
Hello,
Thank you for your valuable feedback.
According to the Gangnam-gu Office, they arranged a shorter waiting time for international fans this year
However, we will definitely share your opinion about zone prioritization with them as well.
Hope to see you again 🙂

Very kind folk, English speaking was good too. The places visites weren’t that great though: too much time in HiKR ground, the market (lunch) was very crowded and little space for us to dine. Other indications were fine and usually clear:)

The tour was interesting, the bus was old but adequate, the guide Alice and the staff were very kind and attentive, I don’t understand much English and they all did their best to make sure I understood all the information, I didn’t understand why we had our meal in the traditional market where the merchants had no interest in serving foreigners, there were only 2 merchants who served us politely and the other 6 were rude, the train stations don’t have staff to serve passengers in difficulty, only at Incheon airport did I find a tourist information place with staff who provide detailed information. Many thanks to Korea Travel Easy for the tour, I prefer to travel in Japan, the service is much better in hotels, trains and commercial establishments.
KoreaTravelEasy
Thank you very much for your valuable feedback regarding the tour. We are glad to hear that you found the tour interesting and that our guide, Alice, and the staff were attentive and did their best to help you despite the language barrier.
Regarding your comment on the experience at the traditional market, we sincerely apologize for the merchants’ behavior.
While we strive to offer authentic local experiences, the behavior of individual merchants is unfortunately beyond our control, as they operate independently.
However, we will take your feedback into account and make efforts to better guide future travelers to places with more welcoming service.
Similarly, we understand your concerns regarding the train stations and lack of staff. We want to clarify that the staffing and services at train stations and even Incheon Airport are managed by separate entities, and we, unfortunately, have no influence over these matters.
However, we will continue to inform our customers about available resources like tourist information centers at major points such as Incheon Airport to help ensure a smoother experience.
Once again, thank you for choosing Korea Travel Easy, and we hope to have the opportunity to provide you with a more positive experience in the future.

the concert was great, our guides were very nice, but the event was disorganized and they had us standing waiting for hours with no notice as to when the event would start. but overall just the tour package was good 🙂
KoreaTravelEasy
Thank you so much for your comment of the event and your appreciate of part of the tour.
First and foremost, we sincerely apologize for the inconveniences you experienced during the Yeongdongdaero K-pop concert in collaboration with the Korea Tourism Organization (KTO).
Regarding the Seating Issue:
We understand the importance of seating arrangements, especially in such events.
Historically, for K-pop concerts targeting foreign attendees, the “foreigner zone” has always been located closer to the stage and has generally provided excellent views.
And we were informed that the foreigner zone for this concert would also be in a close and favorable location.
However, on the day of the event, the block designated to us by KTO was, regrettably, positioned further back. We were also made aware of this change by KTO on the very day of the event.
We deeply regret this oversight and assure you that we have reported this discrepancy to the KTO. We are committed to improving our communication to ensure accurate information is provided in the future.
Regarding the Long Waiting Time and Disorganization:
Each concert has its unique set of logistical challenges, and we understand that the waiting period was longer than anticipated for this event. We have escalated this issue to the KTO and will strive to ensure that such delays and disorganization are mitigated in future events. On our part, we apologize for this lapse and promise to put in efforts to offer better services, especially for our foreign attendees.
We truly value your feedback as it helps us continually refine our services. We hope for an opportunity to serve you better in the future. Thank you for your understanding and patience.
