Korea's summer has been all water so far — this weekend it finally plugs in. Pentaport is the country's longest-running rock festival: 21 years old, three days on the reclaimed seafront of Songdo, Korean indie bands trading stages with international headliners. Radiohead, Muse and Iggy Pop have all played that ground. Take Incheon Metro Line 1, pack sunscreen and shoes you can stand in for eight hours, and let the sea wind handle the heat.
Mood: Rock Festival Season 🎸

🗺️ Hidden Gem
Euljiro Retro Alleys
Back in Seoul with your ears still ringing? Euljiro is where the night keeps going. By day it's printing shops and machine-part stores; after dark the same alleys fill with plastic stools, grilled dried pollack and cold beer, and unmarked bars hide on the upper floors of half-forgotten buildings. No stage, no lineup — just old Seoul at its most stubbornly cool.
