How to Get to Viva Polo (EXO Chanyeol's Family Restaurant)

credited as tagged

We all know that Chanyeol's parents had set up Viva Polo, an Italian restaurant, right?
That's basically where most of the recent childhood photos of Chanyeol and his noona, Yura, came from.
It's a rather cute place, if you ask me.

AND IT'S VERY EASY TO GET THERE!


Find your way to Myeongil Station (Line 5, Purple Line) and get off it through Exit 1.
Walk a little by following this funny guide:



The thing with the Seoul subway system is that sometimes, you'll need to transfer lines to get to your destination.
I'm not entirely familiar with the lines but should you have any questions, you can drop a comment below.

Sometimes, maps can be deceiving because it's not regularly updated. I think the reason why you can't see is because Google Maps shows the street view before Viva Polo was established. Though I can't be sure about this opinion.

Anyway, the post contains the direction to Viva Polo. It's easy because it's just a few steps away a subway station. :)

Thank you so much for sharing the location~
It's lucky only 30 min and one transfer away from where I live :)

I found Viva Polo on street view and Manager Hyung is right, Viva Polo wasn't established yet.

You won't have much luck in general if you try to find places in korea using google maps. Try naver or some other korean search engine because in korea they don't use google. That's why if you were to go to korea and try to use google maps things will show up wonky or not appear at all. My orgo teacher taught physics in Korea last summer and she said she had to learn to read hangul just because google maps wouldn't work and the maps from naver were all in korean XD Just a warning ^^;;;

Hi! I wanted to know if we need to reserve before? Thank you!~
Manager Hyung said…
Hi Anon!

I am not very sure since I haven't been there. But I think there's no need for reservations. Judging from what I have read about it, it's an open restaurant.

Hi! i would like to ask how do I get there from Incheon airport and how long would it take? Thank you. :)
Manager Hyung said…
Hi Anon! First, I don't assure 100% accuracy. But let me try on this:

From the airport, there's a subway line. You get there and get off the 공덕역 (Gongdeok Station). Transfer to the Purple line to get to Myeongil Station which is towards north, if i'm not mistaken.

So yeah. From there, you can get to Viva Polo.

I don't know how long it would take but since friends told me that the restaurant wasn't really in a location near the top tourist spots in Seoul, it might take around an hour from Incheon Airport to Myeongil.

What is Wrong with Secretary Kim Filming Locations [IMAGE HEAVY!]

I know I have promised to ID Korean drama filming locations of another Korean drama but I just can't help it with this one. Entitled What's Wrong with Secretary Kim, it is a story of Lee Yongjun ( Park Seojun ), the egoistical and very self-centered vice chairman of the Yunmyung Group, and his secretary, Kim Miso ( Park Minyoung ). So the vice chairman had been very, very dependent on his secretary so when she decided to resign, it took him by surprise and all hell breaks loose. LOL The drama casted KPOP idols Kim Yewon (Jewelry) and Hwang Chansung (2PM) too and I think they're doing good in their current field. <3 I can't help but laugh everytime I see Chansung on my screen. Watch the drama to know why. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA. The whole story was apparently based on a manga and it's a must to watch this one. It has a light story, and will definitely make you wonder at some points. So it got me hooked easily. And when I get hooked, the locations should b...

[Doctor Stranger/닥터 이방인] The Real Myeongwoo Hospital

second photo from kiis3300@Naver International St. Mary's Hospital ( 국제성모병원) Simgoklo 100-gil, 25 Seo-gu, Incheon Metropolitan City 인천 서구 심곡로100번길 25 Three episodes and I'm getting hooked. Putting Lee Jongsuk, Park Haejin and Kang Sora in one drama seems like a fatal thing to me. I love all of them!!! So yeah, I'll be ID-ing Doctor Stranger seriously now. And we'll start with this hospital. As said, it's the International St. Mary's Hospital in Incheon. In the drama, it's named as the Myeongwoo Hospital where Haejin and Sora works. It's quite a big facility considering that it has a housing facility for the residents (Maris Stella) and a mall with an indoor golf course (Wellbeing Mall) within its complex. Amazing, right? I knew all those because of their website. LOL. Visit it here . There's an English feature. FOLLOW US FOR MORE UPDATES! IMPORTANT NOTE: This post may not be 100% accurate.

EXO at New SM Entertainment Building

first photo from only5_yoonjae @ weibo New SM Entertainment Seollung-ro 190-gil, Chungdam-dong, Gangnam-gu, Seoul (서울특별시 강남구 청담동 선릉로190길 ) As far as I can remember, they have been using this building since the beginning of the year. I am just not sure though if it goes beyond that. Nevertheless, yeah, here's another building for SME where EXO is now commonly seen. It is quite easy to locate and definitely just a few steps away from Yeonsei Riverville .  RELATED: HOW TO BECOME AN SM TRAINEE? It's a pretty long walk but I think it's gonna be worth it if you really want to explore this part of Chungdam-dong. I mean, there are quite a number of shooting locations in the area which you may want to visit. :)
