I was there on the first Ro32 day (you might have seen me in the first VOD of idra vs lotze), and since some of you here said to be there early, i was there at about 4pm. Needless to say, only 3 gomtv staff members were there at the time and tasteless didn't show up until like 5.30 so i had plenty of time to take 1st person pictures of how to get from the subway station to the studio.
First off, look at gomtv's news from a few days ago

Here the google maps link to where exactly the studio is:

I will describe the way from Sinjeong station exit 3 to the studio.
To actually get to Sinjeong station, please consult any seoul subway map like this here:

Once there, look for exit 3 and go up the stairs until you get to the pay gates (we don't have these in Vienna, so i don't know what they are actually called).
You will see this:

Cross the first street right after the stairs and continue going along the street in the direction you exited.

Now, DONT RUN AWAY and be extra careful here. If you arrive early, you might encounter SHITLOADS of korean schoolgirls. Right next to the studio they have a girls (high?) school. When i entered there, i was dead sure i was wrong because there can't be that many girls in the immediate vicinity of a tv studio for games, right? Anyway, go inside and awe at the big gomtv banner in the entrance hall.

You made it. To the left is the entrance to the studio, ahead are toilets and to the right are players and media coverage rooms.
