Yeonhui Panpan Booking Guide: NOL Ticket Sales, 10,000-Won Seats, and October Schedule

Yeonhui Panpan booking is centered on one clear rule: tickets are sold exclusively through NOL Ticket, not through the National Gugak Center website. The 2026 outdoor traditional performance series is listed for April 4 to October 31 at the National Gugak Center’s Yeonhui Madang, with performances scheduled on Saturdays in April, May, and October at 5:00 p.m.¹²

For readers checking after June 23, 2026, the April and May run has already passed. The remaining practical focus is the October return, because a National Gugak Center official was reported as saying, “The first-half performances end on the 30th, but they are scheduled to resume in October.”³

Yeonhui Panpan Booking Essentials

The official ticketing arrangement is strict. The National Gugak Center performance page states that all seats are priced at a flat 10,000 won and that tickets are sold only through NOL Ticket; it also says tickets cannot be purchased through the National Gugak Center website.¹ NOL Ticket’s notice listed the general booking opening time as March 10, 2026, at 2:00 p.m., so the original release has already passed.²

Demand has also been strong enough to affect same-day plans. A May 30 report described repeated cases of Yeonhui Panpan seats selling out within two to three days after booking windows opened, with the series offering 10,000-won performances that include national intangible heritage forms such as tightrope walking and mask play.³ The same report noted that the May 23 Namsadang Nori Preservation Association performance had fully closed online booking, so on-site ticket sales could not be operated for that date.³

That makes the practical advice simple: check NOL Ticket first, do not assume door sales will be available, and treat October inventory as potentially limited. The official page also separately announced that the May 30 National Gugak Center Folk Music Group performance had sold out and that no on-site sales would be offered for that date.¹ Although that date has passed, it is useful evidence of how ticket availability has worked for this series.

Schedule, Venue, and Program Context

Yeonhui Panpan is a standing traditional yeonhui performance series staged outdoors at Yeonhui Madang. The National Gugak Center announced a total of 14 performances beginning April 4, held on Saturdays at 5:00 p.m. during April, May, and October.⁵ A broader 2026 lineup report also described the series as an outdoor traditional yeonhui program at Yeonhui Madang during April to May and October.⁶

The program announcement named seven participating groups: the Yeonhui division of the National Gugak Center Folk Music Group, the Yeonhui division of the National Busan Gugak Center, the Hahoe Byeolsingut Tallori Preservation Society, Hannuri Yeonhui Company, the Namsadang Nori Preservation Association, Uheeska, and Kkokdusoe.⁵ The first performance was the National Gugak Center Folk Music Group’s “Yeonhui-pan, Heungeuro Itneun Sesang,” featuring mungut, binari, beona, salpan, and lion dance.⁵

For booking, readers do not need to decide based only on the first program or the full list of participating groups. The more useful sequence is to confirm the target October date, search the exact title Yeonhui Panpan on NOL Ticket, and check whether online seats remain. If a performance is already marked sold out online, the available source material does not support assuming that tickets will be held for the venue.

The 10,000-won price is part of why the series has drawn attention. A National Gugak Center official was reported as saying that “traditional yeonhui is a repertoire with high audience preference,” in the context of low-priced performing arts programs seeing strong sales.³ That quote should be read as a demand signal, not as a guarantee that every remaining October performance will sell out.
