Concert & fan-meet etiquette
Light stick is non-negotiable
Each fandom uses a specific official light stick (BTS Army Bomb, BLINK Hammer, NCTzen Pearlight…). Borrowing or improvising is fine — but unofficial fake ones can be confiscated at the bag check.
Bring your passport even for online-purchased tickets
Most venues match the booking name with a government ID. Korean residents show ARC; tourists show passport. Without it, entry can be refused.
Photo / video rules — fancams allowed, flash banned
No-flash phone photography is generally tolerated. Anything resembling a DSLR or telephoto lens will be flagged at the gate. Some shows ban recording entirely — check the venue board.
Bags are searched; lockers are limited
Big backpacks are usually rejected. Bring a small cross-body or use the venue's lockers (₩2,000–4,000). For KSPO Dome, lockers are by Gate 4.
Foreign fan lane
KSPO Dome, Olympic Hall and Gocheok Sky Dome operate a "Foreign Fans" entry lane on big shows — staff with English signage. Ask any usher.
