A lot of things are already said in other comments. This was sold as a “tour” but the only thing we could participate in was the bongeunsa tour but we couldn’t hear a thing. We had to come at 11:30 am to “check in” but after that it was pretty much “do whatever you want until 4pm”.. We had to ask about the food festival and the “a little hapiness performance” never happened ?? No one spoke about it. Then we got our tickets, which were way far away than the tickets we were told we would have. I get it it changed last minute but you could have sent us an email to update. We were parked in a small area without knowing what was going on, the KTO people we saw before were nowhere to be seen and we entered the very last minute with no info. I’m not going to talk much about how people on the sidewalk had a better view than us.. This is a shame, everyone who wants it should get their money back because we lost 1 day of our trip to Korea.

We sincerely appreciate your feedback and wish to extend our heartfelt apologies for the disappointment you experienced during the K-pop concert event. Your comments have highlighted several issues that require our attention, and we are committed to addressing them.
We acknowledge that there were discrepancies in the event experience compared to what was initially promoted as a “tour.” We understand that the Bongeunsa tour did not meet your expectations, and we are dedicated to making improvements to enhance the tour experience for future events.
In reference to the schedule, we recognize that the 11:30 a.m. check-in, followed by an extended wait until 4 p.m. did not align with the experience we aimed to provide. We understand your frustration with the lack of information about the food festival and would like to clarify that the “A Little Happiness” performance was a show held around Coex. We regret any miscommunication in this regard and understand that you had the option to explore the area rather than wait in the queue.
We also apologize for the change in seating arrangements, which were beyond our control and occurred at the last minute, as informed by KTO. We agree that better communication is vital and acknowledge that we could have done more to inform you about this change via email or other means.
Your comments regarding the view from your seats are duly noted, and we appreciate your input on this aspect of the event.
We genuinely regret that your overall experience did not meet your expectations and apologize for any inconvenience you encountered. Your feedback is invaluable, and we are committed to working with KTO to make improvements based on your insights, ensuring a better experience for future events.
We understand your frustration and sincerely hope for the opportunity to serve you better in the future.
Thank you for sharing your feedback giving us the chance to address these concerns.

The Concert was cool but it was sad that we couldn’t stand closer to the stage. We waited a long time from 4 o’clock to 6 o’clock before anything happend. Maybe you could say that The Fans should stand in line at 5.30. That time would be enough I think. We found The booth really quickly and was happy to get Tickets.
KoreaTravelEasy
Thank you for sharing your thoughts on your experience at the recent concert. We’re delighted to hear that you found the concert cool and were able to locate the booth and secure your tickets with ease.
We understand your disappointment regarding the distance from the stage and the waiting time before the event started. Your suggestion of encouraging fans to form lines at 5:30 as opposed to waiting from 4 o’clock is indeed valuable feedback. We’ll take this into account and consider implementing it in future events to enhance the overall experience for our attendees.
Your feedback is crucial in helping us improve our events, and we appreciate your insights. We hope to have the opportunity to serve you again in the future, and please feel free to share any further comments or suggestions you may have.

The initial meet up and later giving out tickets went very smoothly. The ticket stated a performance before the show which didn’t happen, we just ended up spending 3 and a half hours sitting/standing in the road with no staff to answer any questions. It was suggested that we would find it difficult to get in if we didn’t queue but the festival was very well organised so I don’t think this was the case. It would have been better if we had been advised that we could come back at 6.30 with wristbands on and we could still get in, even though this would have been at the back. Value for money, not sure as people standing on the pavement for free got a better view.

We sincerely apologize for the discrepancy regarding the stated performance before the show. We acknowledge that this created a longer-than-anticipated waiting period. Your feedback regarding the lack of staff to address questions during this time is duly noted, and we are committed to improving this aspect of our operations.
The suggestion that queuing might be necessary was not entirely accurate, and we appreciate your observation that the festival was well-organized. Your suggestion of allowing attendees to return at 6.30 with wristbands for entry, even if the placement might be towards the back, is valuable feedback. We will use this input to enhance our event management and communication for future events.
Your mention of value for money and the observation about free viewing from the pavement is duly noted. We constantly seek to provide the best possible experience for our attendees, and we’ll take your insights into consideration for future improvements.
Your feedback is invaluable in helping us refine our services, and we genuinely appreciate your understanding and patience. We hope for the opportunity to serve you even better in the future.

I would rate it quite high for the possibility to join the concert without the tour before it — I could not make it due to personal reasons. But labelling the tickets as “places very close to stage” was a false advertisment — the people from the sides of the street watching the concert for free had a far better view than I did. Knowing the tickets for the concert were free and I stood in line for 3 hours for the furthest place on a concet I had in all of my life to have a place where I barely can see the silhouettes of the arists and paying for that makes me feel like a fool

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.

The walking tour was great but the concert was a complete let down, we queued for far too long, no organisation and when finally in couldn’t see a thing, the people that didn’t pay that stood outside had a better view. We left after 3 acts and sat outside for a better view!! Really felt ostracised as a foreigner didn’t feel welcomed at the festival. No complaints about your staff who were as helpful as they could be but the festival was a complete let down and waste of money.

Unlike what was advertised, my allocated spot was far from the stage, some of it was not even visible! We waited for hours and were the last group to be let in, stayed in the worst possible location while still theoretically seeing the concert… would have been better to simply watch the screens…

The manager apologized for the last minute changes due to the lack of word from the organizer : the tourist office. We expected places close to the stage but it was very far. Little people didn’t see anything . It was an event for tourism but tourists were hidden far from the scene , we were so angry . A vacation day wasted for a concert seen from afar. And if we appreciated the apologies, although they tried to swallow it, we were promised places in closer areas, we never thought that we can be placed in such remote areas.
