A concert at COEX Artium is not the same journey as a concert at Blue Square, even when the ticket uses a similar Woori Bank sponsor name. Treat COEX Artium as the parent venue and keep the complete hall name on your map note.
Quick answer
Use 코엑스 아티움 우리은행홀 at 서울 강남구 영동대로 513. The venue directions identify Samseong station on Line 2, Exit 6, or Bongeunsa station on Line 9, Exit 7. Those approaches bring you into the COEX area; you still need the auditorium entrance and your event’s queue.
From the station to the correct auditorium
The Artium directions and COEX’s own transport page support the Samseong and Bongeunsa approaches. A station exit, a mall doorway and the concert entry point are three separate locations. Allow time for indoor wayfinding without relying on an unverified floor or escalator shortcut. [1] [2]
Do not substitute a Blue Square Woori-branded hall or a COEX exhibition hall for this auditorium. Save both the Korean venue name and the event’s final access image on your phone. Follow the event’s published accessible route if you need step-free access.
Two November events, separate tickets and times
| Act | Performance sessions (KST) | Official route |
|---|---|---|
| CLOSE YOUR EYES | November 20, 2026 19:30; November 21 17:00; November 22 16:00 | NOL World FANCON product [3] |
| RYEOWOOK | November 27, 2026 18:00; November 28 17:00; November 29 16:00 | NOL World concert product [4] |
Use absolute ticket dates, not an old badge
RYEOWOOK’s official notice distinguishes a Korean presale from the Global presale one day later; the general opening is October 23, 2026 at 20:00 KST. A relative “Today” banner is not a safe substitute for that absolute notice after October 23. Current seat stock was not checked.
For CLOSE YOUR EYES, the official product and session times were established but the original opening timestamp is not reproduced here. Start with the exact Global product instead of borrowing RYEOWOOK’s dates, admission method or ticket benefits. A venue address does not create a shared ticket policy.
Choose the hotel side of COEX that fits your route
Compare Samseong or Bongeunsa for a local base, then check the entrance-to-entrance journey. A hotel advertised as “Gangnam” can be elsewhere in a large district. A Line 2 or Line 9 base can also work, but its last usable connection must fit the session and the time needed to leave the hall.
If staying in Jamsil, compare the Line 2 route to Samseong; if staying on a Line 9 corridor, verify that the train serves Bongeunsa. These are planning options, not timed trips or guarantees of a seat on the last train. [5]
Do not rely on the mall to solve every concert-day need
Ask about large bags, lockers and coat storage before arriving. A mall service may have different hours from the auditorium, so a late concert does not guarantee storage access afterwards. Keep your essential identity and ticket information with you rather than inside stored luggage.
Check the hotel’s reception hours and late-arrival process, especially when coming directly from another city. A restaurant reservation or shopping plan inside COEX should leave room for the event’s own identity check, collection and entry windows. No special late-night transport or mall operating extension is assumed.
FAQ
Is Woori Bank Hall at Blue Square the same venue?
No. Keep COEX Artium as part of the full destination. The parent complex matters as much as the sponsor name.
Which station should I use?
Compare Samseong Line 2 Exit 6 and Bongeunsa Line 9 Exit 7 against your starting point and accessible-route needs. Then find the actual auditorium entrance.
Can I use one November event’s rules for the next?
No. Session times, IDs, benefits, ticket display and collection can differ by organizer. Use the product you actually purchased.
Your next move
Save the full hall name and selected November session, then choose the station that fits your hotel’s real location. Open the exact product once more before leaving for the show.
