Kang Sora at Gentle Monster Showroom

Photos from Kang Sora's Instagram  | LeeUnCeramic Gentle Monster 520-9 Sinsa-dong, Gangnam-gu, Seoul-si 서울시 강남구 신사동 520-9 To say I was stunned by the instagram update of Kang Sora is probably an understatement. Forget the fact that I adore her. Focus on the truth that I was mesmerized by that old piano's charm which complements perfectly the grungy effect of the walls behind it. There's so much drama in that place and I just couldn't help but try to find it. And I did. LOL. The name of the shop was there: GENTLE MONSTER. The Gentle Monster is actually an eyewear shop. If you're familiar with Y Style of Super Junior Yesung , then you're getting the grasp of what Gentle Monster is. Based on what I saw, its designs are quite different.  The prints, the shapes and shades of the lenses catch the attention of the buyers, making it a good ally in creating a fashion statement. Located at the famous Garosugil area, it is not a surprise why Kang Sora was

[Hyde, Jekyll & I] The Painting at Kim Gwangseok Street

Kim Gwangseok Street Daebong-dong, Jung-gu, Daegu 대구 중구 대봉동 I wasn't able to continue watching Hyde, Jekyll & I and to that, I really apologize. And I just have to say thanks to @madamehenry for asking where this place is. Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to post anything related to 하지나 anymore. So where is this Korean drama filming location ?

I haven't listened to his songs too, but obviously, his influence lives on. Thinking about it, I was more amused of his fans. I believe this themed street was started by people who admire him. If not, it wouldn't have been well taken care of,

The No Stress Cafe from Yesung's Instagram

Fifty 32 Eonju-ro 168-gil, Gangnam-gu, Seoul 서울 강남구 언주로168길 32 When I saw this update from Yesung's Instagram, I realized that perhaps, this cafe is really a personal favorite of the members. It is located in Sinsadong area, along with some of the most interesting cafes where KPOP stars are usually seen filming their shows or just lazing around. For those who don't know, FIFTY is actually that cafe where the original Super Junior M had their photoshoot for their first mini-album . It is also the main reason why Manager Hyung came up to be. I have personally wanted to find that place because there is no way I'm not going there once I finally get to travel to Korea . If you've watched Jessica & Krystal's On Style episodes, you would also have noticed that their house was near this cafe. When they were walking in the area, they met Shindong who actually came from Fif ty then. HOW TO GET THERE: 1. To get there, all you have to do is
