Jaengi Music Studio - Seoul National Univ. of Ed. Station (교대역, lines 2 and 3)

Jaengi Music Studio (쟁이 뮤직 스튜디오) is located out of exit 14 of Seoul National University of Education Station (aka 교대역 where lines 2 and 3 meet). When you come out of the exit, make a u-turn and take your first left. You'll see a Buy the Way convenience store a little ways down that alley. Go past it, and on your left you'll see a 시에프 fried chicken restaurant. Turn left at the next alley, and you'll see the sign for 쟁이 Studio halfway down the alley on your right.

The old man who runs the place is super cool, and just sits in the back room and watches a lot of TV. The now-defunct expat band The 40 Days used to practice here, which is how I found out about this place (from my friend who used to play bass with them), so the owner is used to dealing with foreigners.

There are 3 rooms to choose from:






We paid 24,000 won for 2 hours.
