Daehak-ro play parking discounts and photo time: NEW Oh! My Ghost

NEW Oh! My Ghost (New 오! 나의 귀신님)

I went to Daehak-ro for some culture after a long while~ Since it's a neighborhood for the arts, Daehak-ro has a special atmosphere all its own, doesn't it? And you can't come to Daehak-ro without seeing a play, right? So let me introduce a popular Daehak-ro play, NEW Oh! My Ghost.

Where is Aruto Small Theater, the venue for NEW Oh! My Ghost?

NEW Oh! My Ghost is performed at Aruto Small Theater (아루또소극장), 4th floor, Yeongyeong Building, 48 Daehak-ro 8ga-gil, Jongno-gu, Seoul. The theater is right near Exit 1 of Hyehwa Station~

Where can you get discounted parking near Aruto Small Theater?

Audience members can get discounts at the Korea National Open University parking lot and the Hongik University Daehak-ro Art Center parking lot. Private parking lots don't offer the discount.

① Korea National Open University parking lot (5-minute walk)

• ₩2,400 per 30 min / ₩4,800 per 60 min
• You must register the discount at the ticket box; 30% off
• 50% off for low-emission vehicles
• Crowded on weekends, but it's close!

② Hongik University Daehak-ro Art Center parking lot (15-minute walk)

• ₩3,000 per 30 min / then ₩2,000 per 20 min
• Show the same-day performance ticket at the Hongik parking office (B3) for 50% off
• A bit of a walk, but less crowded and a bigger discount

The Korea National Open University lot is relatively closer to Aruto Small Theater, so it may be the more convenient choice. But it can get very crowded on weekends, so I recommend arriving a little early!

NEW Oh! My Ghost showtimes and entry rules

NEW Oh! My Ghost runs Tue–Fri at 19:30, Saturday at 15:00 and 18:00, and Sunday at 14:00 and 16:30, with no shows on Mondays. The box office opens 1 hour before the show, you can enter the theater from 15 minutes before, and late admission isn't allowed.

• Groups welcome
• Booking: Naver Reservation / NOL Ticket / Time Ticket / Ticketlink

Since it's a small theater, the ticket booth at Aruto Small Theater is really cozy, unlike JTN Art Hall, which I visited before! The staff kindly explained seating and that you can enter 15 minutes early.

Isn't it so cute that they give you a wristband as your ticket instead of a paper one? Such a nice touch for a popular Daehak-ro play!

Oh! My Ghost, I somehow assumed it was a horror play~ I didn't know this story had a TV drama version, either~ Apparently there was a drama starring Park Bo-young!

Aruto Small Theater entrance and the stairs to the 4th floor

There's no elevator at Aruto Small Theater, so you have to walk up to the 4th floor. We had some time to spare, so we got coffee at the Starbucks right in front and went in about 10 minutes before the show~ The entrance has a retro feel! I was so excited to see a play after so long. Watching a play live in Daehak-ro feels totally different from acting on TV, because you can feel the energy!

Climbing to the 4th floor with no elevator is a bit of a chore, but look at the thoughtful thank-you message! For a fun play, walking up four floors is nothing, right~??

What is NEW Oh! My Ghost about?

A woman who wants her memories back, a ghost who wants her wish granted, and a man caught awkwardly in between. What on earth is going on..?

Jaerim is a writer of romance plays. But he has never dated anyone, so even his only friend, Taegu, teases him about what he could possibly know about romance. As usual he's stuck on his writing, so he lies down to sleep, and suddenly there's a ghost in front of him!? To make things worse, Hanbyeol, a woman he's never met, shows up drunk with no memory! Under the ghost's threats, Jaerim has to help Hanbyeol recover her memories and even fulfill the ghost's bucket list! In this absurd, chaotic situation, the three get to know each other and the story begins :D

Is NEW Oh! My Ghost a scary play?

NEW Oh! My Ghost is a four-actor play, and unlike the title, it isn't scary at all. It was a really cheerful, fun play. This was the cast that day.

• Jaerim (male lead) / Seon Gyeong-jun
• Hanbyeol (female lead) / Han Seon-im
• Taegu (Jaerim's friend) / Lee Gyeong-ho
• Seonhwa (the ghost) / Choi Seong-bin

A snap of the stage set before the show! I was so curious what kind of play it would be. Honestly, the pre-show mood looks kind of strange~

Post-show actor photo time and my review of NEW Oh! My Ghost

After NEW Oh! My Ghost ends, there's a photo time where you can take pictures of the actors~!! There are a few moments during the show that give you a little jump scare, and that was part of the fun, too~ I especially loved Lee Gyeong-ho's acting as Taegu :D And all the actors kept making me laugh with their funny performances, so it was a really fun, popular Daehak-ro play~

A Daehak-ro date with your partner! If you're looking for a weekend outing with friends, how about some culture in Daehak-ro with NEW Oh! My Ghost?
