Ok...Heard Jamsil Stadium was amazing and an unforgettable experience during the last World Cup to watch the Korean Games!! It was packed out and many side events etc in the build up... The stadium was full and there were giant screens everywhere to watch the game easily.
Them Koreans know how to throw a party when their team plays in the World Cup...


Anybody know really good places to watch the Korea/Greece game along with the Korean masses on Saturday??!!!

Do we need to purchase tickets etc to watch these games and where can we get them??


I heard City Hall is good. What can we expect there?

Don't just want to watch the game at home or in a typical western bar style..

Korea olleh.. Would be awesome if they make it past the group stages!!

I take it you live in Seoul?

In Daegu I think they play it on a huge TV in Duryu Park.

Busan has a 1000-inch TV going at Haeundae.

I've heard that the only place they are showing it in Seoul this year is around COEX, but there's lots of conflicting information around.

Anybody got more info?

How about in Suwon? At the World Cup Stadium perhaps?

Looking for places within Seoul...

It does appear that the Koreans are not soo into this World Cup as the last time.
Seems like the World Cup Fever from 2002 has abated too much..

Korea hasn't been going too well and I guess thats the main reason...

Hopefully things will pick up in the next few days.
A win against Greece would change things dramatically I think..

Hope we get some more specific info etc before Saturday about great places to watch the game...

I know they are showing the Korea-Greece game at Jamsil Stadium after the Doosan baseball game. I don't know about whether or not you need tickets for the event as I am going to the baseball game before hand and think you can just stay.

Like I said in another thread, they are showing both South and North Korean games at the IPark Mall at Yongsan Station. Don't know if it is outside or not though.

Many of my Korean friends don't seem too into this year. I think that's because they are unhopeful that they will make it out of the group round. I agree with a poster adove. A win, or even a tie, with Greece will get things going, but Saturday night should be exciting nonetheless.

I have been told that 'the main cheerleading force' is going to the place just outside COEX, which I don't really want to go to. This was supposedly on TV last night. They are avoiding Gwanghamun because of the heavy commercialization that will be found there or some such nonsense. I believe there will be TV on at Gwanghamun, I know I am probably not spelling that right, and I plan on being there, to at least see the crowd.

I come from a place, maybe the only place in the world, that doesn't care in the slightest about World Cup. I finally have a chance to be in a country that participates and they are waning interest!?

Aaarrgh,
Ryan

I'm gonna guess Canada.

But In Canada, the WC is quite popular depending on which portion of the country you're in.
