CLUB DAY - Hongik University

The last friday of every month is celebrated as club day in Hongik university area. This event has promoted the Korean club scene and indie culture to both local and foreign visitors. A Club Day ticket offers access to a number of different clubs. We started at 9.30 PM from suwon take subway line 1 and reach Sindurim, and change to Line 2 and get down in Hongik University station. You walk down the main street, you will find many clubs such as NB-2, DD etc.

For 20,000 won at any of the 22 participating clubs, you will receive a paper ID bracelet and a beverage coupon that you can use at any club for a beer or soft drink. Clubs usually open between 8pm and 9pm. However, there aren’t many people at this hour. The peak time to go is around 11pm, but you might have to wait in a 30-meter-long line to get in. Clubs like ‘M2’, ‘MI’, offer electronica-style house and break beat genres; ‘DD’, ‘NB’ are mainly hip-hop. For those who like rock, try the ‘M2,’ and ‘NB.’ They are the biggest clubs and they have the most colorful lights.

The night life in Hongik university area is very lively and you wont be able to make out at any point that its late night, so many people, so many vehicles, its like a fest!. Most of the people visiting here are either college students or the youngsters working in different companies. The mass is good, and guess more than 10000 people over all, and inside club, you just cant find a space for youself, The time flies when you strat dancing to the hip-hop music, and by no time it will be morning. Catch a train to reach back to suwon! Even though it was early morning, the train was ful and harldly few seats left, I could not understand where these old people travelling this early morning.

Legs were tired os dancing and so does the body, I was so sleepy and slept in the train itself on the way back, got up only when Pandey said we have reached suwon. Coming out of train station, it was raining heavily, it was kind of unbearable to see it raining, because I was dreaming of getting on the coach as soon as possible, and get a nice nap.

More information about the place can be found on Korea tourism website
