The RUN IT stop at KSPO Dome
This is the hometown leg. Stray Kids bring the ‘RUN IT’ world tour to KSPO Dome in late 2026, after a 2026 run that has pulled large crowds across Asia. The eight-member JYP Entertainment group debuted in 2018, and Seoul dates carry the extra weight of playing to the home fandom, STAY.
KSPO Dome opened as the gymnastics arena for the 1988 Seoul Olympics. It is a round, enclosed hall with a domed roof, so every seat looks down on a single stage. The scale feels close rather than stadium-sized, and K-pop acts use it for their headline Seoul shows.
Reaching Olympic Park
The subway gets you closest. Most fans use one of three stations:
- Olympic Park Station (Line 5, Line 9): Exit 3 opens onto the park, a few minutes’ walk from the dome.
- Mongchontoseong Station (Line 8): Exit 1 leads through the park’s west side.
- Hanseong Baekje Station (Line 9): useful for anyone coming from Gangnam or the southwest.
Taxis jam on Olympic-ro after the encore, so leaving by subway is usually faster. Line 5 also runs straight back towards Gwanghwamun and Jongno, where many visitors stay.
Inside the dome: ID, lightsticks and fanchants
Korean concerts run on rules first-timers rarely expect. Tickets are tied to the buyer’s name, and staff at the box office and gates typically match them against photo ID. Overseas fans carry their passport for this, since a phone photo of it is usually refused.
- Lightstick: the official one is the Nachimbong, a compass-shaped stick. Inside Korean arenas, organisers commonly sync lightsticks over Bluetooth so the whole bowl changes colour together.
- Fanchants: STAY chant the members’ names in debut order (Bang Chan, Lee Know, Changbin, Hyunjin, Han, Felix, Seungmin, I.N) during the intros of major songs. Fans learn them from fan-made guide videos.
- Cameras: filming and professional cameras are generally banned, and staff hold up warning signs during the show.
- Merch: official merchandise booths stand outside the dome. On concert days, queues there usually form hours before doors.
Fans also trade freebies on the plaza: photocards, stickers and handmade keyrings. Swapping is friendly and informal, and fans usually carry a few items to give back.
Around Songpa after the encore
Olympic Park is worth the walk before the show. Its grass hills hide Mongchontoseong, an earthen fortress wall from the Baekje kingdom. The Peace Gate and the World Peace Gate plaza are where fans usually gather and take photos.
Two stops west on Line 8 is Jamsil. There you’ll find Lotte World Tower, Seokchon Lake and the Lotte World complex. Restaurants around Bangi-dong’s food alley, just south of the park, stay busy with fans having late dinners after the encore. Visitors flying in for the show often pick hotels in Jamsil to avoid a long trip after midnight.
