Palais de Tokyo and Concept Korea: The Paris Fashion Week Night to Know

What the Palais de Tokyo venue actually hosts during fashion week, and how the Concept Korea runway differs from the nearby SPHERE showroom.

Palais de Tokyo will be a useful Paris Fashion Week map point, but not every event attached to the venue is the same event. Starship Entertainment's announcement places Concept Korea's October 1 runway there at 19:00 Paris time. Its named labels are BONBOM and ASPARAGUS, and its announced ambassadors are Shownu and Hyungwon. An attributable iMBC report also identifies the accompanying film, How to Walk.

The Fédération separately says its SPHERE Paris Fashion Week showroom runs at Palais de Tokyo from September 30 through October 6. SPHERE is the Federation's emerging-designer platform, with a digital version available by invitation. Sharing a venue and overlapping dates does not make Concept Korea part of SPHERE, nor does it make the SPHERE showroom a public MONSTA X appearance. These are different programmes with different organisers and access arrangements.

For anyone in Paris, the practical rule is to check the exact event name before travelling. Neither an invitation-only runway nor a trade-oriented showroom should be presented as a public ticketed performance. We have not found an official public-ticket offer for the Concept Korea runway as of this update, so do not buy a resold ‘fan entry’ based on a social post. Follow the organiser's own access notice instead.

Remote readers have a separate path: iMBC reports that the film is to be released through KOCCA and 2X9HD's official YouTube channels. That is a verifiable item to watch for on October 1, independent of whether the physical runway is open to the public.
