YES24 Live Hall lockers: prices, locations and how to use them — 400 coin lockers and the Gwangnaru Station backup

YES24 Live Hall (예스24 라이브홀, formerly AX-Korea) is a 1,000-plus-seat concert hall in Gwangjin-gu, eastern Seoul. It has no staffed cloakroom; the only bag storage is self-service paid coin lockers, and the venue's FAQ puts them at "around 400." Everything below was rechecked against the venue's own site and Seoul Metro's published data in October 2026.

How many lockers does YES24 Live Hall have, and where are they?

YES24 Live Hall has about 400 lockers in two places marked on its official facilities map. One is an outdoor row under a covered walkway along the building's side wall; the other is an indoor locker room on the lobby side facing the front plaza. The venue's photo of the indoor room shows lockers numbered 226 to 344 and a coin changer.

The venue does not publish locker dimensions or how many lockers each spot holds.

How much do the lockers cost, and can I pay by card?

The lockers at YES24 Live Hall take 500-won coins only; you cannot pay by card or feed in notes. A locker in the venue's own photo carries a "1,000원" sticker, so that size needs two 500-won coins. The per-size rates of 1,000 won (small) and 2,000 won (large) appear in blog guides from April and August 2026, but the venue's website has no price list, so we could not confirm the 2,000-won large rate from the operator.

What if I don't have any 500-won coins?

There is a coin changer in the indoor locker room at YES24 Live Hall, labelled "1,000 won note → two 500-won coins." We could not confirm whether it accepts 5,000- or 10,000-won notes, so bring 1,000-won notes or 500-won coins. Queues build at the changer and the lockers just before doors open.

Is there a staffed bag drop on concert days?

YES24 Live Hall's website mentions no staffed bag drop or cloakroom, only the coin lockers. As of October 2026 its notice board carried nothing about storage, only rental announcements. Some promoters run their own bag drop for a particular show, so if you are carrying luggage, read the event notes on the ticketing page. The venue does not publish locker opening hours either; for a late finish, ask on the main line, +82 70-5001-4532.

Where else can I leave bags nearby if the lockers are full?

The closest alternative is Seoul Metro's T-Locker (또타라커) bank at Gwangnaru Station (Line 5), on basement level 1 toward Exits 3 and 4. It is listed in Seoul Metro's locker location data (as of 30 June 2026), and the T-Locker app lets you reserve and pay for a locker ahead of time. Exit 2 is the one for the venue, so drop your bag and then leave by Exit 2. Seoul Metro's official T-Locker rates are for a four-hour base period and cost more at weekends.

T-Lockers can only be loaded and emptied between 05:00 and midnight, every day. The same dataset lists two more locker banks at Gangbyeon Station (Line 2), next to Dong Seoul Bus Terminal: opposite the toilets and near Exit 3.

How do I get to YES24 Live Hall, and can I park there?

YES24 Live Hall is a 5-minute (400 m) walk from Exit 2 of Gwangnaru Station on Line 5, heading toward Gwangjingyo Bridge, and it has no audience parking. The venue's directions page warns that parking at the neighbouring Gwangjin-gu Sports Center can get you reported or stickered. Buses include trunk routes 130, 370 and N30 (Gwangnaru Station stop) and express routes 1113, 1113-1, 1113-2, 1113-10, 1113-11 and 9304 (Gwangjin Youth Center stop), but the FAQ page gives a slightly different list (adding 9301, 96-1 and 70), so check before you board.

Can I bring food or water into the hall?

YES24 Live Hall bans all food and drink except bottled water in a PET bottle of 500 ml or less. The ground-floor cafeteria opens four hours before the show and closes 30 minutes after it ends, and the whole building is non-smoking. Rules on cameras and fan goods vary by show, so follow the notes on your ticketing page.

How many seats does YES24 Live Hall have, and how many people fit for a standing show?

A seated show at YES24 Live Hall has 1,051 seats, exactly the figure registered with KOPIS, Korea's national performing-arts database. The venue's seated plan gives 714 seats on the 1st floor (blocks A 191, B 156, C 191, D 88, E 88) and 337 on the 2nd (X 85, Y 167, Z 85), and the block numbers add up to both totals. For a standing show the 1st floor becomes standing pens (A and B about 700 each, C and D about 150 each) with a 1,700-person baseline, which with the 337 balcony seats makes 2,037. The venue's rental rules say it can lower that number when a bigger stage or extra rigging shrinks the floor.

What should I remember if I'm bringing a bag to YES24 Live Hall?

If you are bringing a bag to YES24 Live Hall, remember two things: carry 500-won coins, and fall back on the Gwangnaru Station lockers if the venue's are full.

1. YES24 Live Hall's only bag storage is about 400 paid coin lockers (outdoors along the side wall, indoors on the lobby side), and they take 500-won coins only.
2. The coin changer turns a 1,000-won note into two 500-won coins; the 2,000-won large-locker rate comes from blogs, not the venue.
3. If the lockers are full, use the T-Lockers on B1 of Gwangnaru Station (from 2,200 won for four hours on weekdays, 05:00 to midnight).

Checked in October 2026 against YES24 Live Hall's visitor guide, FAQ and rental rules, Seoul Metro's T-Locker page and its locker location data. Prices and arrangements change, so call the venue on +82 70-5001-4532 before you go.
