명보아트홀 — Attraction in Seoul

We watched the 2 pm Saturday session of Jump while trying to kill time before our night flight. Having seen Nanta earlier in the trip, we noticed the theatrical humour and audience interaction were quite similar — lots of slapstick moments, cheeky romance, and a clever blend of martial arts, acrobatics, and music. It is a martial arts skill fully played in a comic version. I enjoyed it.

Some of the solo acts dragged a little, but overall the show was fun, lighthearted, and full of energy. The performers involve the audience throughout the 80-minute performance and even hand out small freebies, which made it entertaining and memorable.

It wasn’t a full house, so you can easily shift to better seats once the show starts — no need to book front-row seats. Most of the audience were locals, giving it a more relaxed vibe.

Tickets are easy to book online, and I later realised you can get up to 30% off when booking directly through their official site.

There are no lockers for shopping bags, but the staff were happy for us to leave them at the front desk (at your own risk). I didn’t hesitate since Korea feels very safe.

Seating is good because every row is stepped, so everyone can get a view of the stage no matter where you are seated. Seats here are also wider than the ones at NANTA, which is...

The Myeongbo Art Hall is a cultural complex that hosts various exhibitions and performances as... The CHEF Show, an engaging performance where actors skillfully use their voices to produce and exaggerate a variety of sounds, much like what you might experience in an animated film. 😍 This unique show combines dance, music, and interactive elements among the artists. It unfolds in five distinct parts, each exploring a different culinary story expressed through captivating music...
