Food Week Korea 2026

Who should cross for this

Food and beverage buyers, importers, distributors, HORECA operators, food-tech teams, and Pacific travelers sourcing Korean and international F&B lines.

A Seoul trade week where North American importers and foodservice buyers can survey Korean and overseas F&B suppliers in one COEX cluster.

Suggested trip length: 2–3 nights if you still have Thursday–Saturday hall days; extend only for Cafe Show the following week

Use the overseas desk if that is your passport

Foreign visitors should still head to the overseas registration desk rather than buying a Korean day ticket. Bring the emailed QR if you pre-registered, or a passport for on-site approval. Domestic shoppers pay KRW 15,000 per day or KRW 30,000 for the WEEK PASS. The two paths do not mix at the wrong gate.

Saturday is a shorter day

November 7 ends at 17:00 with last entry at 16:00. If your only remaining hall day is Saturday, arrive for opening and shortlist categories before lunch. Buyer matching windows that closed November 3 will not reopen for walk-up networking theater.

Cafe Show is next week, not this badge

Seoul International Cafe Show returns to COEX on November 11–14. Food Week’s free overseas path does not carry forward. If your trip is only Food Week, leave after Saturday rather than holding a Gangnam room for a different show.
