For ARMYs visiting Seoul, several meaningful locations across the city trace BTS’s journey from their trainee days to international fame. Let me share with you some of the iconic spots of the group! Begin at Star Avenue, located on the first floor of the Lotte Department Store, where BTS’s handprints are displayed alongside other K-pop artists. A short walk away, the Line Friends Store features another set of handprints and the popular BT21 merchandise, created in collaboration with the members. Then, visit HYBE Building in Yongsan is the current and modern agency headquarters of BTS. While the interior isn’t open to the public, the area around the building often includes fan displays and photo zones. Continue the course on K-Star Road where BTS is represented with a colorful bear statue. Not far from there, have your lunch at Yoojung Sikdang (유정식당) a small and well-known restaurant where BTS frequently ate during their trainee years. Nearby, Hyuga Cafe, once used as their third dorm, now serves as a quiet café and a nostalgic stop for fans. In Nonhyeon, visit the former Big Hit Entertainment building. Just a few minutes away is Hakdong Park (학동공원) — a calm and familiar space where the members used to rest and practice. The park was featured in Run BTS (Telepathy), where RM and Jimin recalled their memories of practicing the “N.O.” choreography and dealing with early challenges. Finish your day with a stroll at Seoul Forest. Near Entrance 16, there’s a bench dedicated to V and ARMY, and inside a nearby tunnel, fans can find J-Hope’s signature on the concrete. Across from it, a small fan box contains handwritten letters and gifts from fans. Hope you like it and have a good time there!
Don't forget your sunscreen as the sun is quite strong these days!
