Today I went from Sindorim to Jamsil on line #2. I boarded around 11:45 am. The subway car was flooded with this classical music, concertos, or whatever (I know little of the subject). It was a little too loud for my liking. I had to blast up my MP3 to an uncomfortably high level to drown it out.

Overall, I didn't like it much, but it's better than hearing the aju-cows chew their cud.

Do you mean the music they play when it's the last stop, or all through the trip?

All through.

I ride the subway often, so it's definitely new. But the music wasn't playing on the way home.

Wow, creepy. Must've been some sort of special promotion of some kind, or maybe a test.

Used to be they played a piece at transfer stations...I used to know what it was (Water Music?) but cant recall.

Thought it was sort of classy and wanted to get a copy--hope someone knows...

they have some designated classical music cars on each train, just like they have "light air conditioned/heated" and "heavy air conditioned/heated" cars. on the side, it should say in korean "음악차" or something.
i'm not sure what the purpose is (maybe "hey school kids, don't get on this car because we want peace & quiet") but i haven't seen the music cars on every line.

Get off the subway.

It's a crowded air-choking flow of deadening senses regardless of musical attempts.
