Seoul · Gangnam
Four kinds of venue
The four Gangnam KTV types differ in how guests are seated and how often seats change — not in how expensive they look.
| Type | Venues | Rooms | How seats work |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ilpro (highest tier) | 9 | 7–20 | seats rotate |
| Tenpro (half-set) | 7 | 17–26 | seats rotate |
| Tencafe (by person or by hour) | 12 | 17–34 | seats rotate |
| Hyperpublic (hourly) | 5 | 35–70 | seats stay |
Budget
What a night costs
Two people, three hours, one bottle. Party size, how long you stay and what you drink move the number the most.
| Type | Counted as | Reference |
|---|---|---|
| Ilpro (highest tier) | 3 hours | ₩3,550,000 |
| Tenpro (half-set) | 4 hours (half-set) | ₩4,550,000 |
| Tencafe (by person or by hour) | 3 hours | ₩2,090,000 |
| Hyperpublic (hourly) | 3 hours (hourly rate) | ₩1,050,000 |
These are reference figures, not quotes. The exact amount is confirmed item by item before you enter and does not change afterwards. Cash and Korean cards are accepted; foreign cards work at most venues but tell us in advance and we will check.
How it works
From message to seat
| Step | What happens |
|---|---|
| 1. Message us | Party size, what time, and roughly what you want to spend. English is fine. No name or ID needed. |
| 2. We check tonight | We call the venues that fit and confirm a room is free. This takes a few minutes, not a day. |
| 3. Cost confirmed | We send the itemised amount before you go. Nothing is added afterwards unless you order more. |
| 4. You arrive | We send the address in English and Korean — show it to the taxi driver. Give your name at the door. |
Getting there
Korean pages (full venue list)
Four areas, all in Gangnam
Most venues are a few minutes on foot from a subway exit.
| Area | How to get there |
|---|---|
| Yeoksam | Line 2, Yeoksam Station. The largest cluster — most venues are within 5 minutes on foot. |
| Nonhyeon | Line 7 / Line 9, Eonju Station. Close to Yeoksam, quieter streets. |
| Sinsa | Line 3, Sinsa Station. Along Dosan-daero, near Apgujeong. |
| Cheongdam | Line 7, Cheongdam Station. The quietest of the four. |
FAQ
Before you ask
| What is a KTV in Gangnam? | A private room with a sound system where a host sits with your party. Gangnam has four main kinds. They differ in how guests are seated and how often seats rotate, not in decoration. |
|---|---|
| Do you speak English? | Yes. Telegram is usually fastest — write in English and we answer in English. Phone works too, and KakaoTalk if you already use it. |
| How much does it cost? | It depends on party size, how long you stay, what you drink and whether you add a band. The figures on this page are for two people, three hours and one bottle — a reference, not a quote. Tell us the four things above and we confirm the full amount before you enter. |
| Can I go without a reservation? | On Monday to Wednesday, often yes. Friday and Saturday fill up, and a large party needs a large room — there is usually only one. Message us a few hours ahead and we hold a seat. |
| Where are the venues? | Yeoksam, Nonhyeon, Sinsa and Cheongdam — all within Gangnam, most within walking distance of a subway exit. We send the exact address and the walking route once the venue is decided. |
| What should I wear? | A collared top, long trousers and proper shoes. Sandals and shorts are turned away at some venues. Nothing more formal is needed. |
| Is it safe for a first visit? | We go through the cost item by item before you enter, so there is no surprise at the end. If anything is unclear, ask us first — that is what the consultation is for. |
