๐ Experience Chuseok in Seoul with Korean Music, Food & Heritage Looking for a unique way to experience Chuseok in Seoul? ๐ This year, The Shilla Seoul is offering an experience that brings together some of the best parts of Korean culture—traditional music, Korean cuisine, heritage architecture, and Korean hospitality. From September 24 to 26, 2026, The Shilla Seoul will host its “Heritage Collection · Full Moon” Chuseok package at Yeongbin-gwan, featuring a traditional Korean music crossover concert and a special Chuseok dinner. https://n.news.naver.com/mnews/article/009/0005730987 ๐๏ธ What is Yeongbin-gwan? One of the most interesting parts of this experience is the venue itself. Yeongbin-gwan is a heritage space at The Shilla Seoul that was established in 1967 for important national events. Over the years, it has been used to welcome important guests from Korea and abroad. Its combination of traditional Korean architectural elements and an elegant modern atmosphere makes it an especially fitting location for a Chuseok celebration. For international visitors, this means the experience isn't simply a hotel dinner or concert. It offers a chance to enjoy Korean culture in a space that has its own historical significance. ๐ถ What is Korean Traditional Music Crossover? The main event is a Korean traditional music crossover performance. Crossover Korean music combines traditional Korean musical elements with other genres and modern musical approaches. Instead of presenting traditional music in a strictly classical format, crossover performances reinterpret it for contemporary audiences. The band Second Moon (๋๋ฒ์งธ๋ฌ) will participate throughout all three days. Known for combining Korean traditional music with world music, the band has explored new ways of presenting traditional Korean sounds to modern audiences. Each evening will also feature a different renowned pansori performer: ๐ September 24 — Oh Dan-haeA renowned pansori singer and winner of the pansori category at Jeonju Daesaseup Nori. ๐ September 25 — Yoo Tae-pyeong-yangA performer who became known from a young age as a pansori prodigy. ๐ September 26 — Kim Jun-sooA celebrated traditional Korean vocalist and recipient of the Grand Prize at the KBS Korean Traditional Music Awards. So, if you're interested in Korean music, the date you choose can actually change the performance lineup. ๐คโจ https://n.news.naver.com/mnews/article/009/0005730987 ๐ฝ๏ธ A Chuseok-Inspired Korean Dinner The cultural experience continues at the dinner table.

For many international students and travelers in Korea, Chuseok can be a little difficult to understand at first. It is one of Korea's most important traditional holidays, but much of the holiday is traditionally centered around family gatherings and visiting hometowns. An event like this offers a more accessible way to experience the holiday. Instead of simply visiting a tourist attraction, you can experience several elements of Korean culture at once: Korean heritage ๐๏ธ + traditional music ๐ถ + Korean food ๐ฝ๏ธ + traditional drinks ๐ถ + Chuseok atmosphere ๐ + Korean hospitality ๐จ And because the event takes place during the Chuseok holiday itself, it can be a memorable way to experience Korean autumn and one of the country's biggest traditional holidays. https://biirdee.com/ ๐ A Different Kind of Seoul Staycation Chuseok doesn't have to mean traveling far from Seoul. If you're staying in Korea during the holiday, “Heritage Collection · Full Moon” offers a more refined way to spend the long weekend—while experiencing Korean culture through music, food, architecture and hospitality. For international visitors, it could be an especially memorable introduction to what makes Korean traditional culture unique, while still enjoying the comfort of a luxury Seoul hotel. ๐โจ ๐ September 24–26, 2026๐ Yeongbin-gwan, The Shilla Seoul๐ถ Second Moon + Pansori performances๐ฝ๏ธ Chuseok-inspired Korean dinner buffet๐จ 1-night stay + Urban Island + valet parking Planning to stay in Seoul during Chuseok?This could be a great opportunity to experience Korea beyond K-pop and K-drama—with a little more tradition, music and history. #Chuseok #Chuseok2026 #KoreanCulture #KoreanHeritage #KoreanTraditionalMusic #KoreanMusic #KoreanFood #KoreanCuisine #KCulture #KoreaTravel #SeoulTravel #VisitSeoul #SeoulHotel #TheShillaSeoul #ShillaHotel #YeongbinGwan #Pansori #SecondMoon #KoreanTradition #KoreanHospitality #Makgeolli #KoreanDrinks #KFood #SeoulStaycation #KStaycation #LuxuryHotel #SeoulExperience #AutumnInKorea #TravelKorea #LifeInKorea All rights reserved Stay14 Bespoke
