Looking for foreigner-friendly bars in Itaewon? Whether you're traveling alone, meeting friends or exploring Seoul's nightlife, these six bars offer something for everyone. Itaewon has long been one of Seoul's most internationally diverse neighborhoods. It's a place where Korean locals, expatriates and travelers from around the world come together to eat, drink and experience the city's nightlife. But if you're visiting Itaewon for the first time, there's something you shou

Yes, Seoul has an English stand-up comedy scene. And you don't have to be a professional comedian—or even a comedian at all—to be part of it.

Karaoke in Korea is a little different from what you may be used to back home...

If you're looking for somewhere to celebrate Halloween in Seoul, there's one neighborhood that's almost impossible to ignore: Itaewon. Itaewon has one of Seoul's most international nightlife scenes, with bars, lounges and clubs packed into a relatively small area. On a normal Saturday night, the neighborhood is already busy. On Halloween weekend, expect even more people to come out dressed up and ready to party. But where should you actually go?

If you're looking for Hip-Hop clubs in Seoul, you'll find plenty of places online claiming to play Hip-Hop. But there's an important distinction. Many Seoul nightlife venues play Hip-Hop as part of a much broader mix of music. You might hear Drake or Kendrick Lamar followed by commercial pop, K-Pop, R&B and whatever else is popular that night. There's nothing wrong with that. But if you're specifically looking for a night centered around Hip-Hop, that's a different experie

If you're looking for a hookah bar in Seoul, Itaewon should be one of the first neighborhoods you check out. Also called shisha, hookah has been part of Itaewon's international nightlife scene for years. But choosing the right hookah lounge isn't just about finding somewhere that serves shisha. The experience can be completely different depending on where you go.

If it's your first night out in Seoul and you don't know where to go, start with Itaewon. If you're in your early 20s and want young, high-energy nightlife and lots of clubs, choose Hongdae. For a more upscale night out, look toward Gangnam or Apgujeong. And if you'd rather experience Korean drinking culture, hidden bars and old-school streets than spend the night in a club, go to Euljiro. That's the short answer.

The Decades Party was definitely the highlight of everyone weekend in Itaewon last Saturday.
