The nearest station is Hapjeong (Line 2), about 4 minutes on foot (228 m).
The venue's directions say to take Line 2 or 6 to Hapjeong Station, use the underground passage into Mecenatpolis Mall between Exits 9 and 10, and take the escalator or lift up to the 2nd floor. Leaving the lift, Tongyang Life Hall is to the left and ABL Life Hall to the right.
The official page lists buses 271, 602, 603, 604, 761 and 921, branch buses such as 7011 and 7612, and metropolitan buses such as 1000 and M6117. Parking is in the Mecenatpolis Mall car park (enter at B3); show-goers get up to 3 hours free, but the venue asks visitors to use public transport because the area is congested.

These are the latest trains in any direction; many end before central Seoul. Use the table above for your hotel area.
Latest departures on the Saturday timetable. Times are from the Seoul Metro timetable and are estimates; check the station on the night.
Plan B: taxi. After a big show taxis near the gate are hard to get — walk a few streets away first, or set the destination in a taxi app (Kakao T, Uber). A late-night surcharge applies.
On the Saturday timetable, the last trains from Hapjeong leave between 23:18 and 23:58, depending on the direction and how far you are going. On the Saturday and Sunday/holiday timetable, the last trains from Hapjeong leave between 23:18 and 23:58, depending on the direction and how far you are going.
Hapjeong is on Line 2 and Line 6, and Mangwon on Line 6 is about 13 minutes on foot. The times in the box above are the last trains to the station named, and the latest ones stop short: on Line 2 they run only to Hongik Univ., the next station, and to Sindorim, and on Line 6 eastbound only to Gongdeok. If you are going further, for example to central Seoul or Gangnam, check the station timetable for the last train that runs through, which leaves earlier.
Of the 2 shows we have tracked here, the start times were 17:00 and 18:00. Listed running times: 1 h 30 min, 2 h.
These are timetable figures, not live data. Trains after a big show are packed, so check the station board on the night.
