MICHIN

MICHIN is a small bear bar on Usadan-ro 12-gil, the steep lane in Itaewon that locals call Homo Hill. Our listing has it opening in 2025 in the room that the long-running Queen club used for decades. The crowd is mostly bears, daddies and their admirers, a mix of Korean regulars and foreigners, and the format is drinks and conversation rather than a dance floor. Homo Hill is a cluster of tiny bars within a few steps of each other, so most people hop between several in one night. The lane fills late, especially on Fridays and Saturdays. It opens Thursday to Sunday from 22:00, until 05:00 on Friday and Saturday.
