EXO Planet #6 – EXhOrizon [dot] Encore Concert: Dates, Tickets & Venue (Seoul)

Three nights under the Olympic dome

The tour comes back to Seoul for its encore. EXO holds three encore concerts of the EXO PLANET #6 – EXhOrizon world tour at KSPO Dome from November 6 to 8, 2026. An encore run is a K-pop tradition: the group returns to its home city for the last shows of a world tour.

KSPO Dome sits inside Olympic Park in Songpa-gu, in Seoul’s southeast. It opened as the Olympic Gymnastics Arena for the 1988 Summer Olympics. After a renovation in 2018 it took its current name, and it has been one of the city’s main K-pop concert arenas ever since. The roof is a low, ribbed dome, and the seating curves steeply around the floor, so sightlines from the upper tiers stay close to the stage.

Reaching KSPO Dome by subway

Most concertgoers come by subway. Olympic Park sprawls, so which station you use makes a real difference to the walk.

• Olympic Park Station (Line 5, Exit 3): the shortest walk, coming up on the arena side of the park.
• Mongchontoseong Station (Line 8): on the park’s west edge. The walk to the dome is longer and passes the grassy earthen ramparts of Mongchontoseong, a Baekje-era fortress.
• Jamsil Station (Lines 2 and 8): a walk or a short taxi ride away. Plenty of fans use it after the show to dodge the crush at Olympic Park Station.

On show nights, the platforms around the park fill up the moment the encore ends. Many attendees walk one stop along Line 5 to Bangi Station, or wait in the park until the first rush has gone.

How ticketing works for Seoul K-pop shows

K-pop arena shows in Korea follow a fairly standard pattern. Ticketing for SM Entertainment concerts usually opens with a presale for official fan-club members, called EXO-L, before a general sale. Seats tend to go within minutes. Resale through unofficial channels is a known risk, and venues refuse resold tickets when the name doesn’t match.

At pickup and at the gate, Korean concert staff usually check photo ID against the name on the booking. International visitors normally carry their passport for this. Ticket details, seat maps and entry rules sit with the ticketing platform for each show, so that is where to find the current rules.

The park before doors

The real scene starts outside, hours before the lights go down. Merchandise queues snake across the plaza near the dome. Fans set up along the paths to hand out free fan-made items: photocards, stickers and small printed keepsakes, all for trading or sharing.

You’ll see a lot of EXO’s official lightstick, which fans call the Eribong. At Korean arena shows, lightsticks are typically paired with your seat before the concert, so the production can turn the whole room one colour. In November the park cools off quickly after sunset. Fans who queue for merch usually come in coats and gloves.

Chanting along with EXO-L

The crowd here knows its job, and the room sounds best when visitors join in. A few habits that make a difference:

• Learn the slogan. The fandom’s chant is “We are one! EXO, saranghaja!” (“let’s love”). It goes up before the show and between songs.
• Fanchants are fixed. Each song has set call-outs, mostly the members’ names shouted in a rhythm. Fans usually practise them from fan-made guide videos.
• Leave the camera off. Recording is normally banned at Korean concerts, and staff walk the aisles with signs or torches to stop it.
• Pair the lightstick. An unpaired Eribong stays one colour while the rest of the dome changes.
• Use a T-money card. Tapping in and out saves queueing at ticket machines on the busiest nights of the year at Olympic Park Station.

Making a night of it in Songpa

Olympic Park rewards some time in daylight. The Lone Tree (Nahollo Namu), a single tree on a grassy rise, is one of the most photographed spots in the city. The paths around Mongchontoseong’s ramparts make an easy walk before doors.

For food, the Bangi-dong eating alleys near Bangi Station are packed with barbecue spots and pojangmacha-style bars, and they fill up with concertgoers afterwards. Further west, Jamsil has Lotte World Tower, Seokchon Lake and plenty of hotels. That makes it the usual base for out-of-town fans attending more than one night of the run.
