We came here a few years as part of our tour itinerary – my memory of it may be a wee bit hazy, but by no means inaccurate! Jeju Jungmun Resort presents the digital theme park “PLAY K-POP” where new media technology and K-pop music meet. The Live Holo Concert, a hologram concert, gives more … Continue reading [CLOSED] PLAY K-POP (Jeju)
We went to LOTTE Department Store in Myeongdong to do some last-minute duty-free shopping, and found out that they have this section on the 1st floor called ‘Star Avenue’. I guess it’s a way to entertain and attract K-pop fans to go to the duty free department store. Some quick research on the internet shows … Continue reading LOTTE Duty Free Star Avenue
Many years ago, I heard stories of fanclub noonas camping at TV stations with their cameras to capture photographs of idols, but I never imagined that one day, I would actually be able to witness this in person. So on a day in November this year, we visited MBC World. It’s a ‘broadcasting theme park’ … Continue reading Celebrity Spottings: N from VIXX
Besides visiting SM and JYP (which has sadly moved out of their old building) in the Cheongdamdong area, another company that you can definitely pay a visit to is FNC Entertainment. FNC is home to acts such as FT Island, CNBLUE, SF9, AOA, and now even our favourite host Yoo Jaesuk is in this company … Continue reading FNC Entertainment Building

Located right next to COEX, it’s not hard to spot … Continue reading SMTOWN @COEX ARTIUM
As you can tell from the name of this location, it’s targeted at K-pop fans (and I suspect international ones specifically). The main attractions here are the gangnamdols and entertainment agencies. As quoted from Visit Seoul.Net, Gangnamdols ‘is a symbolic sculpture of the K-Star Road, with the symbolic images of the famous K-pop groups printed … Continue reading Hallyu K-Star Road
UPDATE: A source on Trazy said that this HQ has been sold off and JYP has a new training center near Cheongdam Station. Not exactly sure how accurate this is since this center is still listed on JYP’s main website, but you can check out Trazy’s website to see this information for yourself. If you are a … Continue reading JYP Entertainment
YG is home to many of the biggest names in K-pop – Big Bang, PSY, BLACKPINK etc., and is considered to be one of the Big 3 (entertainment agencies) alongside JYP and SM Entertainment. However, YG is located separately in Hongdae, while the other 2 can be found in Apgujeong/Gangdong area. As with other entertainment companies, … Continue reading YG Entertainment Building
