Experience Korea’s unique non-verbal comic martial arts show in Seoul. Enjoy acrobatics, slapstick comedy, and spectacular moves for a fun, family-friendly outing.
If you’re looking for a lively, visually stunning performance that requires no language skills, the JUMP Show in Seoul might just be the perfect choice. This 1 hour and 20-minute spectacle blends martial arts, acrobatics, and comedy into a fast-paced, hilarious, and highly energetic show. From the moment you step into Myungbo Art Hall, you’ll find yourself immersed in a performance that’s easy to enjoy regardless of language or cultural background.
One of the things we love most about this experience is how it maximizes visual storytelling—every facial expression, movement, and slapstick gag is expertly performed to keep audiences captivated. The show’s non-verbal nature means anyone, anywhere, can follow along and have a good laugh. But a potential consideration is that seating is randomly assigned, so if you’re particular about where you sit, be prepared for possible surprises.
This show is best suited for families, friends, or couples seeking a light-hearted yet breathtaking cultural experience. If you’re after an authentic taste of Korea’s martial arts tradition wrapped in comedy, or simply want a break from more traditional sightseeing, JUMP offers genuine entertainment that travels well.
The JUMP Show is hosted at the Myungbo Art Hall, a venue that provides an intimate yet lively atmosphere — ideal for full engagement with the performers. The show is a musical, but not in the traditional sense; it combines Korean martial arts such as Taekwondo and Taekkyeon with acrobatics and comic timing, resulting in an energetic spectacle that enlivens the stage.
One of the standout features is that this performance is completely non-verbal. This means you don’t need to worry about language barriers; instead, you’ll enjoy the expressive facial expressions and physical humor that transcend words. Reviewers have noted how “every facial expression and movement of the performers is thoroughly calculated,” making it an attractive option for international visitors.
The show opens with bold, dynamic martial arts sequences that immediately engage the audience, followed by comic routines that incorporate slapstick humor. The performers’ vibrant movements and spectacular acrobatics create moments of awe, and the humor ensures that even the youngest viewers or those unfamiliar with Korean culture will find plenty to laugh at.

The main venue is the Myungbo Art Hall, which is conveniently located and easily accessible via public transport. The performance begins around 30 minutes after the auditorium opens, so arriving at least 5-10 minutes early ensures you’re settled in before the curtain rises.
The performance itself is a well-paced, lively show that includes a variety of martial arts sequences, acrobatic stunts, and comedic skits. Expect a blend of high-flying moves, synchronized martial arts routines, and humorous slapstick moments. Since the cast’s schedules and the lineup are subject to change without notice, it’s good to stay flexible.
The ticket includes access to the show, but note that parking fees are not included—consider using public transportation for convenience. The ticket is randomly assigned, so you might get a front-row seat or a slightly elevated view, but either way, the performers’ energy and skill will shine through.
The ticketing process is straightforward: you’ll receive your voucher via Viator Message, and you’ll need to present it at the ticket office on the day of the show. The ticket office opens an hour before the performance, with the auditorium opening 30 minutes prior, giving you ample time to settle in.
Since the show is intended for those 48 months and older, children over this age can attend with proof of age, but cancellations or refunds are not available if you decide to back out last minute. Arriving late will mean you may be only allowed entry at designated times, so punctuality is key.
The seats are assigned randomly, which adds an element of surprise—some may prefer to arrive early to pick a better spot, but even if you don’t, the performers’ spectacular movements ensure you’ll have a good view.
From reviews, we know that the show has been praised abroad for its universal appeal. The performers’ expressive gestures and physical comedy make it accessible for diverse audiences, including those unfamiliar with Korean martial arts.
Some practical tips include arriving 5 minutes early for smoother entry, refraining from bringing food or beverages into the venue, and avoiding photos or videos during the performance—though photography is allowed before and after the curtain call. Remember, securing your tickets early (average booking is 42 days in advance) is wise, especially during peak travel seasons.
This performance is ideal for families with children, as the slapstick comedy and acrobatics appeal across age groups. It’s also a great option for couples or friends looking for a fun, culturally engaging activity that’s slightly different from typical tourist fare. Martial arts enthusiasts will appreciate the skill level, while those interested in Korean culture will find the show an entertaining window into traditional martial arts fused with modern performance art.
However, if you are seeking a quiet, contemplative experience or prefer seated, narrative-driven theater, this lively, physical show might not be your best fit.
