The Seoul Petlympics is an urban dog sports festival where citizens and their dogs can run, walk, and take on challenges together to create special memories. Held at Peace Plaza in Seoul World Cup Park, the event features a variety of participatory programs designed so that not only professional athletes but also citizens and their dogs who are new to dog sports can enjoy the experience together.

In addition to the Petlympics—featuring challenges open to everyone, such as “Wait,” “Come,” “S-Curve Obstacle,” and the “15-Meter Dash”—the event will also include the “Dog Trail,” where participants walk approximately 4 km with their dogs. Additionally, visitors can witness dynamic dog sports competitions and demonstrations—including agility, Frisbee, dog dancing, and flyball—all in one place.

The event venue will also feature ongoing programs open to the public, various hands-on activities, and rest areas. This new urban pet culture festival offers a chance to bond with your dog through sports, experience a healthy pet-ownership culture, and enjoy the event together with your furry friends.

Seoul Over Chuseok 2026: What's On, What's Free, and What's Better Than an Empty Restaurant
Chuseok holidays are 24–26 September 2026. Seoul does not shut entirely — here is a shortlist from the live calendar for 19–27 September, with free/paid notes, one gotcha each, and links out if you would rather leave town. Checked 18 September 2026.
Jjimjilbang for the First Time: What Happens at the Door, in the Bath, and on the Floor at 2 a.m.
A jjimjilbang is a public bath with a living room attached. You are naked in the bath, dressed in the house pyjamas everywhere else, and the 24-hour ones let you sleep on the floor. Prices, hours and house rules from Spa Land in Busan, Aquafield in the Starfield malls and Sparex in Dongdaemun, and the two famous Seoul names that have closed. Checked 17 September 2026.
T-money: Where to Buy It, How to Top It Up, and Which Foreign Cards Can Load It
A plain T-money card is bought and topped up with cash, and that has not changed. Since March 2026 a phone version can be loaded with a foreign Mastercard, Amex, UnionPay or JCB. The station kiosks that now take foreign cards will sell you a ticket or a Climate Card pass, but they will not top up a T-money card. Checked on the operators' pages, 16 September 2026.
