Getting back
For what is actually running tonight, the map apps are the accurate answer. Below is what they cannot tell you.
Nearest station
Sungshin Women's Univ. Station 성신여대입구역 (Line 4 & Ui-Sinseol, about 11 minutes on foot)
Last train, weekdays Line 4 24:44 → Buramsan · 24:45 → Seoul Station· weekend Line 4 23:47 → Nowon · 23:45 → Seoul Station
Anam Station on Line 6 is about the same distance away (830m). Either is a walk of ten minutes or so, so decide which line takes you home first and leave towards that one.
Times verified against operator timetables. Trains past midnight are written as 24:00+ the way platform boards do. Holiday or special schedules can differ - re-check in a map app on the day.
Near here, after the show
- Clubs fill up after 10pm and run until dawn. Bring your passport - the door will check ID. Entry policies vary from place to place, so it is worth having more than one in mind.
- Last subways vary by line but generally go around midnight. Shows usually end between 10 and 11pm, so leaving promptly you will normally make it - it is the merch queue and the photos that cost people the train.
- After the subway stops, night buses numbered with an N run until roughly 3–4am. Your T-money card works on them, and the routes show up in any map app.
- The street outside a venue at closing time is the hardest place in the city to find a taxi, and the hailing apps usually want a Korean phone number. Walking five minutes to a main road is normally faster than waiting.
- Look up your way back before the show rather than after it. Afterwards you will be in a crowd, on the move, with no room to study a screen.

A ride waiting at the airport
