On Saturday, September 19, the "Gangnam Youth Festival" will take place for one day at Gangnam Square, an underground plaza beneath Gangnam Station in Seoul. Co-hosted by Gangnam-gu Office and event planner Ayaeoyeo, admission is free. The main programs are a sauna bus, cold plunge, and wellness classes, with side programs including socializing sessions and mental/physical wellness activities. St

age programs feature DJ performances and busking by young artists. Unlike typical outdoor booth festivals, this event centers on hands-on wellness experiences.

The area around Gang

nam Station is also packed with restaurants and cafes, making it easy to plan a meal or coffee break around the festival. Korea Tourism Times Editorial Desk
