Fri, Mar 20 (4 PM to 8 PM) and Sat to Sun (11 AM to 7 PM) | BEXCO Exhibition Center 2, Hall 4B | Free with pre-registration
If you are wedding-planning, this is a one-stop browse for venues, studios, dresses, rings, and honeymoon packages without the endless back-and-forth.

Erotic Worms Exhibition + Yajasu (Gwangalli)
Doors 7:50 PM | Music 8:30 PM | HQ Gwangalli | 20,000 KRW

CULCOM x HQ Party Night (Gwangalli)
Sat, Mar 21 | 6 PM to 8 PM | HQ Gwangalli | Free Entry

FISHERMAN x Kid Milli (Gwangalli)
Sat, Mar 21 | Time TBA | Fisherman | Table reservation required
Kid Milli is taking over Fisherman for a one-night set in Gwangalli. Tables are reservation-only, and standing entry is limited and first come, so this is a “lock it in early” kind of night.

A mini bar crawl where entry is free, but the drink ticket gets you one drink at each venue. It’s built for people who want to roam without thinking too hard, and the venues are basically next door to each other.

Minju & The Twins + Sons of Finn (Kyungsung University area)
Sat, Mar 21 | Music 9:30 PM | OL55 | Free Show
