About TRANCE
- Party/
Club - Trans friendly
- Cruising, Dancing
TRANCE in Seoul stands as an iconic gay nightclub nestled in Itaewon's 'Homo Hill' district. This basement venue pulses with vibrant energy, welcoming locals, expats, and tourists into a cruising-friendly space known for its electrifying drag shows. Late Friday and Saturday nights draw massive crowds for lip-sync performances by transgender hostesses like Sing Sing Unni and Ninano, featuring over-the-top acts that light up the T-shaped catwalk stage.
A cover charge includes one free drink, with reasonably priced options keeping the party going. The shimmering curtain backdrop transforms the intimate room into a performance haven, blurring lines between performers and audience. TRANCE offers a liberating escape with thumping music, dance floors, and a tolerant vibe that's a staple of Seoul's queer scene. It's a hidden gem where exaggerated humor, makeup, and beats create unforgettable nights of celebration and connection.
