[Roommate/룸메이트] Indeed, This Salon is the Place to Be


Kang Ho The Red Carpet
Apgujeong-ro 62-gil, Gangnam-gu, Seoul
(서울 강남구 압구정로62길)

One of the most popular salon among celebrities is Kang Ho The Red Carpet located in Gangnam.
It is where a lot of idols nowadays come to for their make-up!
Among those top-tiered personalities I know of are Lee Minho, B2ST's Yong Junhyung and FT Island's Lee Hongki. The members of Infinite come here too especially since their building is just beside it. LOL
The newest addition to my list of course are Kang Jun and Park Minwoo!

RELATED ARTICLE: Infinite's Salon

In the Korean variety Roommate, Minwoo and Kangjun dropped by the salon before they bought the sundae soup and soju, and head to Dongwook's photoshoot that day.

Actually, the area is quite star-studded.
Aside from having this Korean salon and Infinite's building, it also has another attraction: Coffee Cojjee.
The entrance to the salon is just beside this famous Korean cafe which is owned by a god celebrity, Kim Jaejoong.
I've said enough to convince you it's awesome, right?

The closest subway station will be Apgujeong Rodeo Station. You can take Exit 4, but personally, I think I'll recommend Exit 3 since it's easier to figure the way out when you take it.

So after getting off the subway station at Exit 3, head towards the direction you're facing... towards the Galleria Mall.

You don't need to cross the street. Just walk two blocks and then look for the old SM Entertainment Building. In front of the building, there's a small street between a gasoline station and DKNY. That's Apgujeong-ro 62-gil. Turn to that street and walk straight.

On the second crossing, there is the Enigma Ville. That's the landmark. From there, turn left. Walk a little further and you'll get to the salon, Kim Jaejoong's cafe and Infinite's building. (I'm not sure if they're still practicing there considering they're under SME now.) But yeah, that's there.


I don't assure 100% accuracy okay? :) Enjoy!

Which building is Infinite's building?
Manager Hyung said…
Hi AcidRayne!

Please let me clear it first that I don't know if they're still staying there since they're under SME now. But if I'm not mistaken, it's in the right of the Coffee Cojjee building. XD

Hmmm... This is the first time I have heard of this... Did u mean Woollim Entertainment or Infinite's dorm? As far as I know, they have always been in the Mapo/Mangwon/Hapjeong area...
Manager Hyung said…
AcidRayne,

To be honest, I think it's a practice studio? I don't know. I'm not an infinite stan, and I forgot what made me say that it's the building. Just that I saw a clip or a variety which made me say that.

But anyway, thanks for the information! :) If this turns out wrong, I'll be more than willing to delete the part where I mentioned infinite. XD

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. :)
