Gay Busan

Busan, home to over 3 million people, is South Korea's second-largest metropolis. This coastal hub blends beaches, hot springs and cool cultural happenings.

The LGBTQ+ community thrives in Beomil-dong, part of the Busanjin District. Step off at Beomil subway station and you're in the heart of it. Gay bars and karaoke spots line the streets—if you know how to spot them.

Busan offers something for everyone, from the sandy stretches of Haeundae to the glitz of the annual Busan International Film Festival. History buffs can explore ancient temples, while night owls dive into the city's vibrant after-dark scene.

For LGBTQ+ visitors, Busan is as welcoming as the gay scene in Seoul but with a tad more laidback vibe that's typical for a beachside city.
