Recommend good spots for nightlife in Seoul?

Hongdae is a meme but it's still nice because there's a shitton of clubs, it's almost always free entry, you can go out and reenter later with no issue, etc.... but the vibe is just off, the Korean dudes there are the horniest motherfuckers around and now there's always a bunch of Filipino whores walking around everywhere waiting to be picked up.

Gangnam is just stuck-up plastic surgery type people so the vibe is also weird.

It's fun to go to Jongro but the average age of people drinking there is about 70, so not the best for hanging out with people my age.

I like Sinchon and Seongsu but it's more for a dinner+drinks with friends rather than some proper partying.

Any other recommendations?

Konkuk Uni station and Kondae are pretty good for a less niche feeling. Most people there are just authentic middle class Koreans or Uni students. Itaewon gets a bad rap but it can be really good depending on if you're okay with dealing with people from all over and obvious day 1 tourists in spades. Also, if you don't like Gangnam/Hongdae because of the atmosphere then clubbing just might not be your thing, but there are other venues available. I've had more fun just drinking in parks or outside convenience stores solo or with people rather than being in a bar or club. If you're not too shy it's pretty easy to do that.

Can i do solo nightlife in Seoul? I'm quite interested in going...

Imo East Asians are viciously judgemental and collectivist, Koreans being the worst of the worst, so you’re gonna collapse internally without a friend group to bolster your spirits.

I wouldn’t dare. I work with Chinese people and they think they’re royalty. Koreans likewise think they’re gods because of KPop. They look down contemptuously on everyone else. Its insufferable. Id go with a friend

Is Korea a good place for that? Do you mostly meet tourists doing that?

>>2810546
Yes, and you can find an even mix most places you go in the city. The more you stray away from the main venues you'll find yourself being the lone foreigner, and that can be a good experience since people in the country are generally welcoming and friendly. Most Korean peeps in Seoul actually go to places like Ttukseom or Banpo near the Han river and just sit out on picnic blankets and eat snacks and drink. This goes for day or night. There's also a bunch of parks that are nice to hang around in and I would pregame in those places before going to a bar or whatever.

Nice, thanks

Seoul always looks so lively and fun but it's a bit hard to find the right spots to go to if you're not familiar with the city. Everyone just goes to Hongdae or Itaewon. But I'm sure that the other parts of the city are even more fun to explore for nightlife

yeah right. sounds grim but ill have to check it out none-the-less. I'm more social and have more money than your typical 4chan poster, so my experience should be better than the average.

I once made out and fingered a korean bitch at a backpacker bar here in Sydney. I could barely understand what she was saying. I think she had down syndrome.

>>2810396
Koreans aren't like that. Chinamen are just coping for being from shit so they sct arrogant to make up for it.

Are there bars in Korea where you can mingle with people? I went once and it didn't seem like that's really an option there. They all go out in groups and they mostly just drink with food, not in western-style bars. There's not even an izakaya culture like in Japan where you can just stand around and chat with a bunch of people.

Clubs are fun in groups but it's kinda annoying to go to a club alone and try to meet people there, so I'm not sure how to do solo nightlife in that kind of an environment.

Ok so I know white dudes haven’t really acclimated to the new social reality but nobody cares how social you are, or how much money you have in East Asian society if you don’t have the requisite presentation/looks threshold that they ask for.

If you’re just some unstylish, shambling, thin haired white ogre you will literally get barked at and shouted away from their table. Looks/presentation trumps all in Asia. If they cant include you in their videos and photography they will not tolerate you being around or near them.

I don’t make the rules. You cannot flop into the club and think whipping out your sweaty wallet and blubbering in their ear is going to turn the tide

You better be a gleaming Abercrombie modelesque white guy with fluffy hair or go drink soju in front of a 7-11

I'll just stick to Southeast Asia. The food's better, and only women that were kidnapped and forced into prostitution as a child by Chinese, Korean, and Japanese mafia has plastic surgery.

>go drink soju in front of a 7-11
uhhh,,, what's the problem with that, buddy

>>2811276
you can get away with being really bad looking if you just wear high end clothes and be skinny

Seoul nightlife:
>old dudes drinking soju outside the conbini
>in restaurants, Koreans huddled in groups having fun and never interacting with anyone outside of the group
>in bars, Koreans huddled in groups having fun and never interacting with anyone outside of the group
>in clubs, mostly Korean men hitting on western women because they think they're "open minded"
>in Itaewon and Hongdae, westerners drinking with each other and with random Korean men who approached them to make """friends"""
>random SEA hijabis strolling around confused by all the alcohol and pork
it's lively and animated but not particularly fun in my experience. hard to get an in

Kondae used to be my stomping ground back in the day and I can confirm it's a great area, both for food and drinks. No major clubbing stuff but that's not for me anyways.
>Mamy Blue is a great little jazz bar with occasional live music and the owner lady very lovely
>if you're into makgeoli then there is an old-timey looking joint, with rustic wood interior, in one of the side alleys
>chimak
>great affordable kbbq, proper charcoal cooked stuff with a free flow of steamed omellets
Just don't go to the drink-all-you-can spots. They will either turn you off right away because "foreigners drink too much" or the drinks will be so watered down you'll just waste your time there

>>2811356
Oh and forgot to mention
>really good tonkotsu-ramen joint in there as well, just a bit up the main road from Mamy Blue

>>2811353
ime it's easy to get in, just befriend some korean hypebeasts who are fascinated with western nigger culture and split VIP at whatever club with them and then ditch them once you're in. very pay2win in korea kek

>>2811398
lmao fair enough, need to get some hypebeast drip before I go next
