N Seoul Tower has a competition now. Besides the classic Namsan / N-Seoul Tower you can also visit the latest attraction in Jamsil which is the Seoul Sky / Lotte World Tower. They have the Fireworks festival in April.

Subway : Jamsil 

Other attraction nearby : Lotte World Mall, Lotte World and Seochon Lake

Entrance fee: 27000 won

Official website: Seoul Sky

I went to this tower around 6pm to ensure that I can see the day and night view from the tower.

When I was q'ing to take the lift, they have special led which showcasing the traditional palace ceiling.

The Lotte world and Seochon Lake. ( it will be pretty during Spring  due to Cherry Blossom)

There are 2 sections of the transparent floor. One is open and the other one is with 1 staff guiding the crowd. You need to q follow the staff instruction. The will cover the floor first and ask you to count 1,2,3.and of course, you will look down automatically! It is kind of terrifying. ( I don't recommend this for people who afraid of height) . As the auntie next to me needs to hold her husband hands to walk out from the floor. This last only like few minutes and they will cover the floor back . ( to let others experience the same thing that you did). However, you can still take photo of the transparent floor at the other side of the tower ( no staff )

They have cafes, restaurant, Sky terrace so you will keep going up to the tower.

It is a foggy but yeay I can still spot the N-Seoul tower here.

Almost dark, you can see the lights.

At night

However there is no wudhu ' facility inside,  therefore you need to go to the toilet nearby.

My Love, My Bride and Music Bank runaway

I managed to see 2PM Chansung's  musical stage of My Love, My bride. My friend got me the ticket (foreigner can buy the ticket at English site ; global interpark) and I seated at the back of Chansung's parent. The best part Nichkun and Junho also attended the same session! 2PM forever !

Of course, there is no subtitle for this play but you can still understand it just from the body language.
The supporting act was funny too. Chansung did great as he is comfortable and not nervous at all ( well he debut as actor first  ( High Kick).
The theater is located nearby Hyewa station. As I just arrived Incheon , I went directly to the theater hall and store my luggage at Hyewa.(Cost: 2000won for small locker)

You can't snap a photo or record the play but there are 2 times which, a party scene ( the actor ask us to snap haha) and the part where Chansung sang from the audience section. It is very entertaining eventho my Korean is limited. My last play was Jun. K 's 3 Musketeer and now it is maknae's turn.

My first stage in Seoul was Nanta, Nanta is totally display by body language.(no spoken word at all)
You can also check this interesting play once you in Seoul   Nanta ticket

Junho after the play end . I don't manage to snap Khun.

The next day,early morning at 6am I went to Yeuido for KBS Music Bank. This is the only place where you can see all the idol "live" as they walk from the parking lot to the building.  I just want to experience it although there are none of my favorite singer attending hahaha.  I miss JJProject by 1 week. I think the no. of order is still base on seniority. Therefore, rookie is first in line. There were Kard, Eastlight , Shanon , Snuper and many more.As time goes by I can't recognize all the singer esp. rookies. It was raining lightly but I still manage to see the idols.  There are still a lot of space in front of the barrier. ( It also depends on the popularity I guess ) as I read Wannaone session is canceled because of the excessive fan behavior. I just stay around 1 hour and eat some breakfast before heading back to the hostel.

You can sign up for pre- recording and live show via fanclub. You can also apply via KBS website but is in hangul and they require alien id ( not for tourist). Alternatively, you can attend music show  by always checking Korea Tourism page as sometimes they give a free ticket to Music Bank and SBS The Show. You can also buy the experience package for SBS The Show HERE

You can also go to the other side of the building which they put a lot of show standee and you can see live radio too. Free entrance to  KBS museum
