A quieter route into Seoul culture
Reading alone, together
Reading City turns UNDERCITY into a shared reading room. There is no required title and no book-club discussion to prepare for. Choose what you want to read and move through the experience at your own pace.
The soundtrack begins low and spacious, then builds through deeper electronic selections. It is designed for people who want focus, atmosphere and a distinctly Seongsu afternoon without a standard party format.

Reading City FAQ
Do I need to read a particular book?

Is the highball promotion guaranteed?
No. The promotion and its social-posting terms can vary by date, so confirm the current inclusion in the booking flow.
