Corrections and updates
| Date | Page | What changed | Why |
|---|---|---|---|
| 7 Nov 2026 | Seoul Nightlife Statistics | Retitled from “The 2024 Survey Data” to “The 2025 Survey Data”. The ten findings were replaced with figures from the full report: for example, 79% go out in Itaewon, where the page had said 44% named it their first choice. The “$40 to $80 a night” and “47% asked for more local bookings” findings were removed. | Fieldwork ran from 1 February to 16 March 2025, and the old findings did not match the full report, which was built from the raw survey data. |
| 7 Nov 2026 | The Seoul Nightlife Report: What 343 Club Goers Told Us and Seoul Scores 50 Out of 100 on the First Nighttime Culture Index | A dated note now flags that some survey figures in these pieces (district first choices, 47% asking for more local DJ bookings, a typical night at 70,000 won) do not appear in the full report. Canadian dollar amounts were converted to US dollars. | These figures come from the early write up and are being checked against the raw data. Until then, the report is the source to cite. |
| 7 Nov 2026 | Social Media for DJs: Post Less, Get Booked More | A chart showing 47% asking for more local DJ bookings, 38% for better sound and 33% for earlier starts was replaced with a chart from the full report on how people find nights: Instagram 289 mentions, friends 223, event apps 50. | The old chart’s figures do not appear in the full report. |
| 7 Nov 2026 | The Korean Rave, Three Seouls at Night, Where the Money Goes on a Club Night, Itaewon After Dark, The Fall of the Gangnam Megaclub, Pick the District First, the oral history page and the Korean hub | The survey’s fieldwork date was corrected from “late 2024” (2024년 말 on the Korean hub) to February and March 2025. | The survey ran from 1 February to 16 March 2025. |
| 7 Nov 2026 | Seoul Nightlife Report and Citation Policy | Both now state that the survey results are published under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 licence (CC BY 4.0). | The Korean hub already gave this licence, and the English pages did not, so readers got two answers. |
| 7 Nov 2026 | Seoul Nightlife Glossary | Last train times now read 12:30 to 12:55am from the club districts Monday to Friday, and 11:30pm to midnight on weekends and holidays, where the page had said “around midnight”. The usual cover of 15,000 to 25,000 won (about US$11 to 18), up to 35,000 won (about US$26) for big international bookings, was added. A “70,000 won typical night” figure was removed, and Canadian dollars were changed to US dollars. | The Getting Home Planner, checked against timetables on 10 October 2026, is our reference for last trains, and the night cost figure does not appear in the full survey report. |
| 7 Nov 2026 | Haebangchon, Two Clocks, One City, Alternatives to Clubbing in Seoul, Halloween in Seoul 2026, Sixty Pop Ups a Week, How Streaming Changed the DJ Economy, Why Vinyl Came Back and five more | Prices given in Canadian dollars were converted to US dollars at 1,360 won to the dollar. | One currency across the site, and the one most visitors use. |
| 7 Nov 2026 | Bases, Curfews, Campuses, How DJs Really Get Booked, Four Questions to Ask Before Booking a DJ, DJ Controllers vs CDJs and other pages | The writer’s time in Seoul is now stated the same way everywhere: in Seoul since 2002, in the booth for more than twenty years. Pages had said “since 2006”, “more than 24 years” or “two decades”, and one older booking page said “since the late 1990s”. | The figures disagreed with each other, and “since the late 1990s” was wrong. |
| 7 Nov 2026 | Our 20 most recent articles | Points repeated more than twice on the same page were cut. | Repeats made pages longer without adding anything. |
| 7 Nov 2026 | Nine articles linking to a getting home guide | Nine broken links now point to the Getting Home Planner. | The guide they pointed to is not published yet, so the links led nowhere. |
| 7 Nov 2026 | Seoul Tonight | Placeholder prices were removed, and one listing at a venue we had not confirmed was taken down. | A placeholder looks like a real price, and we only list venues we can confirm. |
| 7 Nov 2026 | The homepage, Quizzes and About | Wording about how many quizzes the site has was corrected. | The count had fallen behind after new quizzes were added. |
| 7 Nov 2026 | The Genre Index, Genres and History and related pages | Genre counts reconciled: 127 core genres, 134 encyclopedia pages, and 410 genres and sub styles on the Dance Music Tree. Out of date totals of 109 and 56 were corrected. | Pages updated at different times gave different totals for the same collection. |
| 7 Nov 2026 | Getting Into Seoul Clubs: Entry, ID, Age and Dress Code | Prices now also appear in US dollars next to the won figures, and FAQ answers that repeated the same point were removed. | Most readers are visitors who think in dollars, and the repeated answers added length without adding anything. |
