Hands up if you have a huge crush on SEVENTEEN! Are you a fan of NewJeans? Or maybe Stray Kids has your heart? If you’re traveling to Korea for a K-pop concert or simply looking to soak in the ultimate K-pop vibes in Seoul, make sure to stop by their go-to spots and filming locations!
This restaurant was featured in Tipsy Live 2 with Seventeen and is just a 3-minute walk from Sinsa Station Exit 8 (Line 3, Shinbundang Line). The signature dishes here aren’t thick cuts of pork belly but rather frozen pork belly and pork skin. In the YouTube video, Seventeen members enjoy drinks and pork while having a great time! 🥳
👀 Add a Savory Kick 🥩
Dip the meat in sesame oil with salt, or pair it with the spicy squid salad offered as one of the side dishes. To perfectly wrap up the meal, don’t miss out on the cheese fried rice!
Check out the NY pizza place Mingyu posted on his Instagram! What’s more, this spot was featured on one of Korea’s most popular culinary shows. The restaurant is conveniently located just 1 minute away from Apgujeong-Rodeo Station. What makes this place extra special is that when you order the Mingyu Set (pizza + chicken), your receipt will say Mingyu(17) Set! 🩵

Seventeen’s Wonwoo, Vernon, Hoshi, and Woozi visited this spot in [EP.83 TOUR SEV SEV] of Going Seventeen to create reels! This Hangang River Park is located near Jayang Station (Subway Line 7).
Head to the Snail Seoul Thinking Maru if you want to take a photo in front of the wing wall paintings where SEVENTEEN posed. If you walk along the Hangang River toward Lotte World Tower, you’ll come across the Music Fountain where Hoshi got soaked! The Hangang River Park is massive, so visiting all the spots SEVENTEEN explored will take about 30–40 minutes in total.

💡 Good to Know
‣ Music Fountain: closed during winter (resume in April)
‣ The convenience store where members cooked Ramyeon is unavailable as it was a temporary store. If you want to eat Ramyeon by the Han River, visit the convenience stores near Snail Seoul Thinking Maru or the paddle boat dock!
Of course, the mascot of NewJeans is an adorable bunny! If you visit Seongsu, the trendiest neighborhood in Seoul, you’ll find the famous bunny mural. The wall is just a 3-minute walk from Seongsu Station Exit 2, near Café Onion, one of the area’s most popular foodie spots. The road is quite narrow, with cars passing by, so be ready to ‘hop’ out of the way if needed! 🐰

NewJeans is the model for the eyewear brand CARIN, which has a flagship showroom in Seongsu. If you’re visiting Seongsu to see the bunny mural, make sure to stop by and check out the items NewJeans wore themselves! 🕶✨
This is where the TV show You Quiz on the Block was filmed for the NewJeans episode. Offer Café is just a 5-minute walk from Hongdae Station Exit 9 (Line 2). Famous for its salt bread and kouign-amann, this spot offers a variety of flavors, including apple cinnamon and shine muscat. They sell out quickly, so it’s best to visit in the morning! Oh, and the NewJeans members sat in front of the main entrance, right next to the window.
NewJeans had their 2nd album cover photo taken here, located near Euljiro-3ga Station (Line 2). Remember the scene where Danielle talks to a white fish at the café and gives it a name? This is the spot! You can soak in the retro vibes and feel as though you’re in a foreign land. The café is famous for its coffee made with freshly roasted beans. Plus, you can grab desserts from Hyemindang across the street and pair them with your coffee.
Do you remember the restaurant where Stray Kids filmed Ep.10 RACHA LOG for their YouTube channel? It’s about a 30-minute ride by public transport from the JYP Entertainment agency. Han, Seungmin, and Lee Know ordered sundaeguk (blood sausage soup) and a large plate of suyuk (boiled pork). The table used by the Stray Kids members has been turned into a special zone, so don’t forget to take pictures!
Han, Seungmin, and Lee Know also visited this spot! The café is located on the 2nd floor, right across from Hoseokchon. Look for the burgundy-colored door as you climb the stairs. This café is famous for its pudding! 🧁 They also serve pudding bingsu (shaved ice) and pudding lattes. Don’t forget to check out the Stray Kids menu on the menu board, available in English, Chinese, and Japanese.
