BOL4 Red Square Seoul 2026: New KINTEX Venue, Dates & Getting There

Last updated: October 2026

Quick answer: The BOL4 Seoul concert “Red Square,” celebrating the 10th anniversary of the group’s debut, runs on November 7 and 8, 2026, but it is no longer at Seoul Olympic Park. The agency, Kenbus, announced on September 23 that both nights moved to KINTEX in Goyang, northwest of central Seoul, because the original venue could not be used safely. If you booked a hotel near Olympic Park, check your plans now.

What Changed for the BOL4 Concert?

BOL4 (Bolbbalgan4) is a Korean duo known for gentle, melodic pop with a loyal following across Asia. “Red Square” was first planned for the Ticketlink Live Arena inside Seoul Olympic Park. According to Sports Kyunghyang’s English report, the show now takes place over two days at KINTEX instead. The dates themselves, Saturday November 7 and Sunday November 8, were reported as unchanged. The report did not name the specific KINTEX hall, so confirm the hall, door times and any ticket handling on the official ticketing page before you travel.

Why Did the Venue Move?

The agency called the change unavoidable for audience safety and a smooth performance, and apologized that the notice came late because of final coordination with the venue. The wider background is that the Handball Gymnasium at Olympic Park has faced disruption to normal operations since early June, and several other shows have relocated to KINTEX or other halls this autumn. We cover that pattern in our fall 2026 Seoul concerts roundup. The practical lesson for visitors: check the venue on the current ticket listing, not on an older poster or fan post, before booking flights or hotels.

How Do I Get to KINTEX From Seoul?

KINTEX is in Ilsan, Goyang. The classic route is Subway Line 3 to Daehwa Station, then a short bus or walk, and the GTX-A express line also serves Kintex Station. Budget roughly 40 to 60 minutes from central Seoul and expect crowds after the show, since two nights of fans leave at about the same time. Check the last train before you rely on it. Our guide to getting around Seoul explains T-money cards and late-night taxis, and the LANY Seoul concert guide walks through a full KINTEX concert night.

Where Should I Stay?

With the show now in Goyang, Ilsan is the easiest base for a short walk home, though it is quiet outside concert days. Staying in central Seoul (Hongdae, Hapjeong or Myeongdong) gives you food and sightseeing by day and about an hour of transit on show night. The where to stay in Seoul guide compares the neighborhoods. Early November is peak autumn season, so it is worth that you compare Seoul hotel rates for your dates🏨 or check availability along the Line 3 corridor🏨 early.

How Do I Plan the Trip?

Land at least a day before the show so a delay does not cost you a ticket. Fans flying in from the US can compare flights into Seoul✈️ for early November. Jason Mraz plays KINTEX a week later, so the Jason Mraz Seoul concert guide is useful if you want to stretch the trip to a second show. Leave Sunday daytime or Monday for sightseeing.
