Seoul's hidden gem for cinephiles, this intimate 40-seat art house cinema opened in 2021 in the quiet residential neighborhood of Yeonhui-dong. Unlike commercial multiplexes, Laika Cinema specializes in curated independent, experimental, and international art films that rarely get theatrical releases in Korea. The cinema is located in the basement of Space Dog, a cultural complex, creating a cozy, underground film club atmosphere.
