Summary

Description

I am visiting Olympic Park in eastern Seoul for the day.

Gymnasium No. 1 was built in 1986, for the 10th Asian Games held in Seoul that year, as well as for the 24th Summer Olympic Games held two years later. During the Olympics, it hosted the gymnastics competition - the final Cold War standoff between the USA and the USSR.

It continues to see many athletic events, as well as concerts, particularly by foreign pop music artists who use this gymnasium as their primary South Korean venue. In 2003, it was the starting point for Mariah Carey's first (and so far only) truly worldwide tour. During my residence, Billy Joel would make his first-ever live appearance in South Korea here.
