Even before BIGBANG's debut,
I was a fan of 'GD&Taekwon'...
I'm a BIGBANG fan of 20+N years:♡
I might not have been a VIP (BIGBANG's official fandom name) for every single one of those ten years,
but I did visit the
Cosmos BIGBANG 20th Anniversary
Media Exhibition, held in celebration of BIGBANG's 20th anniversary!
I always seem to miss out on concert tickets,
so I just had to make it to this, right? Hehe.
If you're planning a visit to the BIGBANG 20th Anniversary Exhibition,
I'll try to summarize everything you might be curious about before your visit👑.
I, for one, kept failing to get tickets for the BIGBANG 20th Anniversary Concert,
so I absolutely HAD to visit this exhibition instead ㅠㅠㅠㅠ
and that's exactly why I booked my spot.
The BIGBANG 20th Anniversary Exhibition
can be easily booked through Naver Reservation.
You can visit until Sunday, September 27th,
and please note that the exhibition hall is closed every Monday.
However, the exhibition is divided into two distinct phases:
PHASE 1 ㅣ August 24th (Mon) – September 13th (Sun)
PHASE 2 ㅣ September 14th (Tue) – September 27th (Sun)
The VR experience, hologram show, and special benefits for MD purchases
are said to vary between each period!

Ticket prices are ~$15,
and you can purchase up to 4 tickets per person.
Every day, there are 12 sessions available, starting from 10 AM and running hourly
until 9 PM.
I visited today (September 1st) at 1 PM,
and whether there's a limit on the number of visitors or not,
I was able to enjoy the exhibition without it feeling too crowded.
When entering, your mobile ticket along with
a valid ID is required.
Your mobile ticket can be accessed via the bell icon 🔔 in the top right corner of the Naver app,
or like me, you can quickly show it through the 'Reservation' page on Naver Maps to gain entry.

The BIGBANG 20th Anniversary Exhibition
is being held at Euljiro 1-ga Station,
at a venue called Doodooodoo Seoul.
Admittedly, the name might be a bit unfamiliar, right?
Getting to the BIGBANG 20th Anniversary Exhibition
was surprisingly easy!
Although Naver Maps might show City Hall Station as the destination,
it's actually Euljiro 1-ga Station, not City Hall Station!
(though they are all connected underground...)
Once you arrive at Euljiro 1-ga Station,
head straight towards Exit 1-1.
As you continue, just before you reach the stairs, you'll find the BIGBANG 20th Anniversary Exhibition space!
It was a rainy day and I didn't have an umbrella,
It's directly connected to the subway station
without needing to go outside, making it super convenient to visit!
📍 COSMOS BIGBANG 20th Anniversary Media Exhibition
42 Eulji-ro, Jung-gu, Seoul, Doodoodoo Seoul
On Naver Maps,
if you search for 'BIGBANG 20th Anniversary Exhibition'
it pops right up!🎈
The BIGBANG 20th Anniversary Exhibition
is uniquely designed along a straight path
spanning 335 meters!
Pre-booked ticket holders should queue at the black barrier
for mobile ticket and ID verification,
while walk-in purchasers should queue at the red barrier
to buy tickets separately.
Upon entry, you'll receive an admission wristband,
a leaflet, an MD order sheet,
and a random photo card.
I got Taeyang!🌞💕
(Can I even share this photo?)

To avoid too many spoilers...
my personal top recommendations are:
✅ 04 COSMIC ECHO
✅ 07 VIRTUAL ORBIT
✅ 08 COSMOS OF US
These three spots really stood out!
04 COSMIC ECHO
You can put on headphones and blast BIGBANG's songs
at full volume!
And while you're enjoying the music,
you'll hear a special welcome message from
Daesung, Taeyang, and G-Dragon!🤩
07 VIRTUAL ORBIT
I honestly thought the VR might be a bit childish,
but once I tried it, oh my goodness...
the BIGBANG members came so incredibly close,
I actually felt a little shy myself!
Hahaha!
You could practically see Taeyang's pores and G-Dragon's ribs!
Daesung's eyes, though? Still a mystery.
Just kidding!~( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
08 COSMOS OF US
This exhibit allowed you to upload your own photos
and have them displayed on monitors.
But looking closer, it seemed like the members were
actually taking your picture,
or even taking selfies with you!😍
What an amazing setup!
Feeling like the members were taking my picture
just made me so incredibly happy! ㅠㅠ
For everything else, you'll just have to go and see for yourself!💛

Finally, the 20th-anniversary merchandise (MD) was
on display.
Almost all products were showcased, but
what you could actually **buy was limited**! ^_ㅠ
Still, true to BIGBANG's style, it was hip and
there were many cool goods.
The umbrella had a universe drawn on it, so
it was even prettier than I expected.
Mufflers, it's been a while... hip-hop... 🤟
The **ordering area and product collection area** were
separately designated, so
if you waited a bit,
they would prepare the goods you purchased right next door.
Honestly, I debated whether to go until the very day,
but the sound system was powerful,
and hearing their old songs play again after so long,
I got a bit emotional listening to T.O.P's rap;
Can it fully remind you of their 20th anniversary? ❌
Not exactly, but if you're someone who **loves BIGBANG**,
I think it would be a really great experience to visit! ⭕
Each viewing session is set for one hour,
I arrived a little late for my scheduled time,
but it took me about **45 minutes**
to see everything.
If you go with friends, take lots of photos,
and browse the merchandise,
it will probably take exactly an hour!
If BIGBANG held a special place in your heart
even a small one, during your school days, then I recommend it!
Q. Do I need to make a reservation for the BIGBANG 20th Anniversary Exhibition?
If you pre-book through Naver Reservation,
you can enter immediately, which is convenient,
and if you purchase on-site, there might be a waiting time
depending on the circumstances.
(As of 1 PM on 9/1, waiting time was not long.)
Q. Where is the BIGBANG 20th Anniversary Exhibition held?
If you head towards Exit 1-1 of Euljiro 1-ga Station,
you can reach the entrance of Doodoodoo Seoul, the exhibition venue,
the fastest.
Q. How long does it take to view the BIGBANG 20th Anniversary Exhibition?
Personally, it took me about 45 minutes,
and you can stay for up to 1 hour.
Q. When will BIGBANG 20th Anniversary merchandise be restocked?
Some merchandise was sold out,
and for detailed information on merchandise restocks,
you can check their official Instagram.
The exhibition consists of PHASE 1 (August 24 - September 13) and PHASE 2 (September 14 - September 27). It is said that VR, hologram shows, and MD purchase benefits vary for each period.
The ticket price for the Big Bang 20th Anniversary Exhibition is ~$15. Each person can purchase a maximum of 4 tickets.
A mobile ticket and ID are required for entry to the exhibition. The mobile ticket can be presented via the Naver app or the 'Reservation' page in Naver Maps.
Just go straight towards Exit 1-1 of Euljiro 1(il)-ga Station. It's directly connected to the subway station, so you can visit conveniently without going outside.
The article recommended three sections: 04 Echoes of the Universe, 07 Virtual Orbit, and 08 Our Cosmos. In particular, you can experience VR at 07 Virtual Orbit.
