SEOUL WEEKEND UPDATE (Feb 12 - 15)

Valentine’s Day. Seollal.

Love, heartbreak, noise, softness, chaos, community… all landing on the same weekend.

Whether you’re here to celebrate, reject romance entirely, wrestle your feelings out in a mosh pit, drink wine with friends, or eat 떡국 and reset your luck for the year… Seoul said yes to all of it. Daytime culture, nighttime chaos, punk shows, prom parties, listening sessions, DJ nights, wine bars, and GSTV hosting a Seollal party in the middle of it all.

This weekend you can flirt, reflect, dance, cry, laugh, eat well and even be creative

Here’s everything happening Feb 12–15. Choose your mood wisely. Or don’t.

🖼️ ON GOING 🖼️

PUBG Seongsu Winter School (Seongsu)
Until Feb 27 | PUBG Seongsu | Free (Deposit)
Free creative classes covering DJing, graffiti, dance, parkour, and esports. One of the most underrated winter programs in the city.

Smile Bunny Club — Acrylic Painting One-Day Class (Seongsu)
All year | Buwon Seo Studio | Reservation - ₩65,000
Create your own character from scratch in a relaxed, no-pressure studio setting. Whether you come solo, with a friend, or on a low-key date, it’s about slowing down, getting your hands dirty with paint, and leaving with something that’s actually yours. Class conducted by painter Buwon Seo, beginner-friendly, quietly joyful, and a nice reset from screens and noise.

Munassi — The Season We Fade Away (Jongno)
Until Feb 13 | Space K Seoul | Exhibition
A quiet, emotional exhibition about relationships, inner movement, and reflection. Strong solo Sunday energy, if you ask me.

A 100-minute sensory experience in complete darkness, guided, tactile, and surprisingly emotional. Great “do something different” date or friend mission. The concept sounds actually very dope!
