Olympic Park
올림픽공원
The venue complex built for the 1988 Olympics shares one perimeter with an earthen fortress from the early Baekje period. Several of the arenas have been renamed and now host concerts, so sports halls, an archaeological site and concert venues sit on the same walking route.

Nearby
88 Lakeside Stage
The open-air stage on the edge of Mongchon Lake in Olympic Park. Its operator lists it as an outdoor concert space and a filming location. It is the fifth performance spot inside the one park, and it has no roof, so the weather is part of the ticket.
88 Lawn Field
The open lawn in Olympic Park where summer music festivals and outdoor shows are staged. It is not a building, so the weather is part of the ticket.
KSPO DOME
The indoor arena inside Olympic Park, built as the gymnastics venue for the 1986 Asian Games and the 1988 Olympics and used for large concerts since. It has carried the name KSPO DOME alongside the old one since 2018, so ticketing sites print both — they are the same building.
Ticketlink Live Arena
The indoor hall inside Olympic Park. It was built as the 1988 Olympic fencing venue, later became the handball gymnasium, and is now hired out for concerts and fan events. Since July 2025 a naming-rights agreement has called it Ticketlink Live Arena, and the operator prints that name with 핸드볼경기장 in brackets after it. It is one of three performance rooms in the same park, which is where most of the confusion on the day comes from.
