Seoul Namsan Gukakdang

Seoul Namsan Gukakdang, in Namsangol Hanok Village, is Korea’s only concert hall that allows you the opportunity to appreciate the natural sound of traditional Korean musical instruments without the aid of any electric sound system. This elegant and charming music hall, in traditional Korean style, combines with Namsangol Hanok Village and Namsan (Mt.) to create a perfect traditional Korean cultural harmony.

Designed to capture the natural sound of the musical instruments without a microphone, Seoul Namsan Gukakdang boasts the best facilities for Korean traditional music performances in terms of sound, lighting, and stage equipment.

Upon entering the first basement, you are greeted by the bright, sun-lit lobby. Named “Chimsangwon,” the tiered sunken garden dismisses the notion that all basements are dark, dank and foreboding places. The subtly lit N Seoul Tower together with some beautiful Korean traditional music creates a fantastic atmosphere in the Village.
Seoul Namsan Gukakdang features a variety of programs that foreigners, as well as Koreans, can enjoy. These include performances by top-notch musicians and classes and lectures on Korean traditional musical instruments and the arts in general.

Along with the various cultural facilities in Namsan, including the National Theater of Korea, Namsangol Hanok Village, Seoul Animation Center, Seoul Youth Hostel, and N Seoul Tower, Seoul Namsan Gukakdang is fast becoming Seoul’s new cultural hotspot for visiting tourists.
