Ok, so I know that Daejeon isn't the bright centre of the universe, but I'll be arriving at the back end of February and I was wondering about the live music, nightlife, and sport situation.

Daejeon Citizen F.C will be among the first things I investigate upon my arrival, as I am sure to miss seeing live football on a weekend. Any other local teams worth looking at? Being a current regular at Farsley Celtic, the thought of lower division Korean football is really quite appealing!

As far as live music goes, I'm at a complete loss. Anyone able to offer me some hints? Will I have to go to Seoul at to see bands of the indie / rock persuasion?

Cheers!

I love it when a plan comes together.

I was thinking about getting a season ticket myself, and at 50,000 Won I think it'd be almost rude not to!

No doubt I'll be in touch via the medium of private message when I've amassed enough posts to do so, but you're very much on for a prematch pint when I get to Daejeon!

Cheers!

I'm totally bringing this thread back from the dead for two reasons:

1) I was wondering if anyone has any more ideas about things to do in Daejeon..

and..

2) I only need one more post now before I can PM folk and arrange the aforementioned pre-match beers!

Cheers!

I don't live there, but I've heard it's a great alternative to Seoul. I think you'll really like it. Half of the city is new and well planned, so if you're lucky enough to live and work in the good half, I think it'll be good.

I live in Daejeon and I like living in Daejeon.

I am leaving Korea soon, though.

I lived in Daejeon for 8 months but never saw much of a foreigner scene there. I live in Seoul now, but I'd move back to Daejeon in a heartbeat if I didn't have to get medical treatment here. It was cleaner and the people were generally more personable to foreigners in my experience.
