Do Koreans enjoy Halloween? The answer is yes or no, but close to yes. There are no trick-or-treat things where children visit the house and receive candy, but increasingly, there are many events where young people enjoy Halloween cosplay and partying. Over time, more and more people are learning about Halloween, and festivals and parties are taking place.
Where in Korea can you have a great Halloween? That’s why I’m writing this article. Let’s dive into the best places to enjoy Halloween in Seoul, Busan, and Daegu, South Korea.

Although Everland is located in Gyeonggi-do, we chose Everland Blood City Halloween Festival as the top place to enjoy Halloween in 2022. Because this year’s Blood City was designed and directed by an Emmy Award-winning art director for Squid Game, Kyungsun Chae. In Blood City, you will feel like you are the protagonist of a horror movie with your friends. Here is more about the Everland Blood City Festival 2022.
