The seat counts and parking rates below were checked on September 16, 2026 against KEPCO Art Center's official pages (hall guide, rental guide, parking guide, accessibility guide) and the KOPIS registration on our KEPCO Art Center venue page. KEPCO Art Center (한전아트센터) is the theatre inside Korea Electric Power Corporation's Seocho complex in Seoul. The seat-view photos are the ones the venue publishes for the seats marked black on its seating chart; check the ticket seller's notice for seats added or removed per performance.
How many seats does KEPCO Art Center have, and how are the two floors laid out?
KEPCO Art Center's hall, at 60 Hyoryeong-ro 72-gil in Seocho-gu, Seoul, is a 999-seat proscenium theatre: KEPCO's rental guide lists 664 seats on the 1st floor and 335 on the 2nd, and KOPIS registers the same 999. The 1st floor is split into a front block (rows A–L) and a rear block (rows M–R) behind a cross aisle, with 12 wheelchair seats in row S at the back, six on each side. The 2nd floor has nine rows, A–I.
Counting the seat numbers on the official chart row by row, the 1st floor reconciles exactly with the official figure.
| 1st-floor section | Rows | Seats (counted from the chart) |
|---|---|---|
| Front block | A–L (12 rows) | 430 |
| Rear block | M–R (6 rows) | 222 |
| Wheelchair seats | S (6 each side) | 12 |
| Total | 664 (matches the official 664) |
The front block widens from 31 seats in row A to 41 in row L; the rear block is widest in rows M and N at 44 seats and narrows to 24 in row R. Counting the 2nd floor the same way gives 319, which is 16 short of the official 335. The online chart skips some seat numbers, which is the likely reason, so this guide uses the official 335.
Which is the better view at KEPCO Art Center, the 1st floor or the 2nd?
For facial expressions, the centre of the 1st-floor front block (rows D–I, seats in the teens to thirties) is the pick; for the full stage picture and ensemble choreography, the centre of 2nd-floor rows B–E works better. The stage sits 0.97 m above the floor, so rows A and B look up at the curtain, while the 2nd floor looks down on a 9 m proscenium and shows blocking across the stage floor clearly.
| Section | What the view is like | Seats with an official view photo |
|---|---|---|
| 1st floor, rows A–C | Closest to the stage, slightly looking up | A16, B27 |
| 1st floor, rows D–L centre | Straight-on and close, best for acting detail | F18, F23, I14, I16, K7 |
| 1st floor, rows D–L ends | Close but at an angle | E1, G6, J32 |
| 1st floor, rows M–R | Rear block; centre is straight-on but further away | M11, M27, M32, Q18, Q32, R2, R12 |
| 2nd floor, rows A–C | Front of the balcony, looking down on the whole stage | B1–2, C40 |
| 2nd floor, rows D–I | Back of the balcony; centre is best | E16, E34, E38, F1, G21, H2 |
On the official seating chart, clicking a black seat opens a photo taken from that seat. There are 21 such seats on the 1st floor and 8 on the 2nd, which makes comparing before booking easy.

What about wheelchair seats and facilities?
There are 12 wheelchair seats in row S at the back of the 1st floor, six on each side, and the lift has an accessible control panel so you can ride straight up from the garage to the hall. The "8 accessible seats" figure repeated on some blogs differs from the 12 in the venue's own accessibility guide, so book against 12.
The accessible toilet is on the hall's 1st floor, and the DOPPIO COFFEE café on the same floor opens daily 8:30–21:00 (varies with the performance schedule). For KEPCO Art Center's own productions, a disabled visitor and one companion get 50% off admission. Rental and general enquiries: 02-2105-8132, weekdays 09:00–18:00.
In short
- 999 seats is what both the official rental guide and KOPIS say, and the 664 on the 1st floor reconciles as rows A–L 430, rows M–R 222 and 12 wheelchair seats. The 2nd floor counts 319 on the chart against the official 335, a 16-seat gap.
- For acting detail sit in 1st-floor rows D–I centre; for the whole-stage picture sit in 2nd-floor rows B–E centre. The official chart offers view photos from 29 seats.
- Parking is 4,000 won for 6 hours with the voucher from the lobby cloakroom, or 3,000 won at the kiosk. Vouchers stop at intermission.
