After 1,800 performances and 380,000 spectators over 9 years, as of March 2003, Line 1 is the most popular Korean musical.
Adapted from Line 1 - Das Musical by the Grips Theatre in Germany, the work works with a uniquely Korean context and premiered in 1994. This rock musical Line 1 shows the life of the city of Seoul through the eyes of an ethnic Korean woman named Fairy from the Korean autonomous region of Yenbian, China. She meets characters who represent the everyday variety of people one can meet on an average day in Seoul--jobless fathers, runaway daughters, men threatening to kill themselves, peddlers of everything imaginable, self-styled street evangelists, and others. They join together to recreate the Korean society we live in today, with humor and satire. Line 1 is complete with a five-person live rock band, actors and actresses who masterfully juggle several characters each, and a rapid change of scenes and set. It is an enjoyable show for viewers of all ages.
From 2001 the show embarked on a world tour and was highly acclaimed by the public, earning unrestrained praise from the critics in Berlin, Beijing, Shanghai, Tokyo, Osaka and Fukuoka. In March 2003 it also drew intense interest at the Hong Kong Arts Festival.

Directions
Directions to Dong Seo University, ""Millennium Building""
(a) If you catch the subway at Somyeon you must be on Line #2 (the newer line.) You must go in the direction 'Hoppo.'

(b) See subway map
(c) Go 5 stops and get off at Naengjeong Subway - 5th stop after Somyeon (10 minutes from Somyeon)

(d) You must go out Exit #5. If you are in the front of the subway going to Naengjeong from Somyeon it is at that end of the subway station.

(e) As you exit the subway to street level you will see the road that goes up to the University Main Gate.

(f) Walk up here. It is steep. It may take 6-9 minutes to reach the University campus.

(g) At the entrance is a guard house and red and white boom gates. Don't go past the boom gates: Stop before you go past.

(h) On your right you will see a building "The Library" - walk in front of the library and keep going straight.

(i) Walk past the Language Institute (English sign on building) (1 minute walk from the Library)

(j) Keep walking to the next TALL building (15 floors) That is the Millennium building.

(k) From the front gate to here is about 4 minutes walk.

You will see Volunteers with Yellow sashes and Signs directing you


I would suggest you allow 15-20 minutes from the subway to the Millennium building if you are strolling.
There is a small bus #2 village bus that runs from the subway to the university front gate, but times of running are about every 20 minutes. If you catch a taxi opposite Lotte Hotel in Somyeon, and say Dong Seo Dae Hakyo
you will be there in 8 minutes and the cost is 4000 Won. Have the taxi driver take you to the Millennium building
We will have VOLUNTEERS wearing a YELLOW SASH at Subway Exit # 5 to give you help.
