Dongdaemun Shopping Complex

Admission included

The Secret Stage of Dongdaemun Revived after 96 years, Onggi Concert

Step into a hidden 1900s theater in Dongdaemun. Enjoy the exclusivity of just 40 VIP seats, an intimate masterclass in natural acoustics without microphones, and refined Joseon royal-style hospitality.

The moment the elevator doors open on the 9th floor of the new building of Dongdaemun Shopping Complex, the hidden and mysterious Gwangmudae stage, concealed for nearly a century, reveals itself.

The spirit of 'Gwangmudae', once the center of Korea's modern performing arts scene before it was lost in a fire in 1930, has been revived in the same Dongdaemun area after 96 years.

Onggi Concert is a unique two-hour cultural curation journey that flows from the White Room to Black Room, and back again to the White Room.
