Hard Rock Locations in South Korea

South Korea’s Hard Rock chapter has been defined by multiple attempts to establish a long term foothold in the market. The first Hard Rock Cafe Seoul opened in 1996 and operated until January 2007, followed by a second Seoul location from 2008 to March 2009. A third Seoul cafe opened in 2014 and remained in operation until June 2018. Outside the capital, Hard Rock Cafe Busan welcomed guests from 2015 until February 2018. Today there are no open Hard Rock locations in South Korea, making it a market marked by several short lived but notable phases within the Asian region.
