Olympic Hall is a music venue located within the Olympic Park, in Bangi-dong, Songpa District, Seoul, South Korea. It opened in 2003.[1]
In 2011, the Olympic Hall was renovated as a concert hall by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism and the Korea Sports Promotion Foundation. The one-year remodeling project included an expanded stage for the main hall with 2,452 fixed seats, an exhibition room to showcase the history of Korean pop from the 1920s to present day, and a 240-seat small theater for indie musicians and new artists. It was reopened on June 22, 2011, with a celebration performance by veteran singers and K-pop groups including Super Junior, 2PM, 4Minute, 2NE1 and After School.[2][3] The main hall has a capacity of nearly 4,000 people.[1]
