Looks like we are playing Bayern twice this off season.
I guess that the Korean government/organiser paid big money for the game in Seoul.

Is the game on tele?
Hopefully Phillips will get some decent playing time.
Is that confirmed or is this one just going to count as the friendly agreed in the Kane deal?
They advertised the home game in August during the City game.
Squad for Australia trip confirmed | Tottenham Hotspur
The travelling squad for this week’s visit to Melbourne, Australia, for our post-season friendly against Newcastle United has been confirmed.
www.tottenhamhotspur.com
As guessed previously but now confirmed :
GK's - Vicario, Austin, Whiteman
Defenders - Porro, Royal, Leo Black, Van de Ven, Dragusin, Ashley Phillips
Midfield - Rio Kyerematen, Bentancur, George Abbott, Skipp, Sarr, Tyrese Hall, Alfie Devine
Forwards - Jamie Donley, Gil, Johnson, Kulusevski, Maddison, Yago Santiago, Scarlett, Son
Kyerematen - Has been playing LB for u21's in last month or so
Leo Black - Converted from AM to inverted RB for u18's this season, and has been one of best u18's this season. The youngest player in the squad - he and Hall are only 2 players in Academy Year 2.
George Abbott - Plays DM and also RB
Alfie Devine - Can play anywhere in midfield, on loan this season has played as both a deep lying midfielder/DM as well as a no 10.
The trip sees Under-21s midfielder Rio Kyerematen and Under-18s midfielder Leo Black travel with the first team for the first time.
No Romero (rest before Copa America ?) or Hojbjerg (might be offski in summer ?)
Players in Blue are youngsters - 9 out of the 24 players.

Ideal for Ange too - converted last summer from AM to play as an inverted RB and has shone there this season in u18's, will play u21's next season. The youngest player in squad
Allows Ange to see some interesting youngsters playing with first team too : may or may not impact on transfer window plans or squad options next season ?.
I was just wondering why they need to go so far around the world?
Ange wanted a long weekend at home ? !
It’s at the MCG, which seats over 100k. Tickets start from about 30 pounds and go up to about 350 pounds. Add merch and food and drinks and its some decent coin
I reckon Ange will be taking the lads down to South Melbourne where he started. It will be part of his relationship building with the team
Won't the food and drinks sold be profit for the stadium rather than the two teams?
I'm sure that is correct, at least in part.
The stadium will want a rent for the game, but it may well be that if the stadium is full (ie lots of hungry and thirsty likely punters), the rent will be reduced or there's a clause giving a % of food and drink sales.
Equally with merchandise, the teams will probably get the lions share of revenue but Melbourne stadium will have a large shop which gets a % for displaying and selling the merchandise.
So everyone will make money.
I wonder if Levy will go along like he did in South Korea last time?
I can remember the video of Son meeting him and Conte at the airport before his teammates arrived into the arrivals dept. First off the plane lol.
The game against the Barcodes is on Wednesday.
No idea how it’s split, or what Newcastle will get out of it. The MCC (Melbourne Cricket Club), who run the MCG, will also want their cut.
Could equally be in the 'Media Bias' thread:
