Le Nuit Blanche is now Club Answer, again.
For Club Answer, one of Seoul’s most popular clubs, the last year or so has been nothing short of eventful. The club’s once mysterious insides took the public stage when controversially revealing photos of clubbers on the internet hit the news. Then toward the latter part of 2009, it closed down for renovations, re-opening with a brand new, confusing, and for many koreans, hard-to-pronounce name: “Le Nuit Blanche.” It soon changed back to “Answer,” though its intimidatingly luxurious gates that still bear the French name. [Editorial note: The sign out front finally reads "Club Answer" again.]
Despite the chaos, Club Answer’s penchant for exceptional music selection and a consistently great crowd that knows how to party have made it without a doubt one of the best clubs in Seoul.
From the moment you step past its mysterious black doors, you’re hit with fierce light and music supported by a state of the art sound and lighting system. By midnight, the stage and dance floor are packed with clubbers entranced by the music spun by some of the world’s most renowned DJs, including the likes of Paul Van Dyk and Benny Benassi.
Like Eden, the club’s interior is nothing short of luxurious. With plush white leather seating, chandeliers, and a marbled floor, the place looks more like a classic mansion than a electro-house club.
The venue is made up of two floors — a regular dancing area that stretches out to sea of tables, and a second VIP floor where you can enjoy an isolated and elevated experience above the mayhem of the dancefloor, but at a cost.
Drinks:
Much like at any of the bars in the ultra-wealthy neighborhood of Cheongdam, expect to pay anywhere from W10,000 – W25,000 for a drink at the bar.

1st floor:
- W300,000 – champagne set
