Seoul Forest

Seoul Forest, a relaxing green space in the heart of the city, was once a horse racetrack and golf course before it was transformed into a park in 2005. One of its highlights is the 30-plus BTS benches, created through donations from BTS fans known as ARMY.

The Kwangya Store is the official shop of SM Entertainment, one of Korea’s leading entertainment companies. Here you can find a wide range of character goods and merchandise from their artists.

Seongsu-dong Cafe street

Back in the 1970s, this area was full of leather and printing factories. In the 2000s, artists started moving in, and the buildings were remodeled, turning it into a cultural district with shopping, food, and exhibitions. It’s often compared to Brooklyn in New York or Shoreditch in London.
