Can visitors join, or are some events for residents only?

3 of 31 listings this month say they are for residents, members or enrolled students; we leave those out of the quick lists. The rest name no such limit — workshops often still need advance booking in Korean.

Why are the titles in Korean?

They are the official titles from the Seoul cultural events database. Ticketing sites and venue signs use the Korean title, so it is the name you need to search or show at the door; venue, dates and admission are given in English.

How do I book?

Follow the organiser link on each event (usually Interpark, Yes24, Melon Ticket or the venue). Most ticketing sites have an English or "global" page; free exhibitions usually need no booking.
