New Journey to the West Season 6: Expensive Beef Ribs Restaurant

I'm watching Season 6 of New Journey to the West now and I realized that I should find this place where the pre-season gathering was held.  Dureuga (두레우가) 3F Seoseoul Nonghyeop 365 Auto Bank Building, World Cup-bokro, Mapo-gu (Sangam-dong) What got me interested on this Korean filming location is the fact that the beef was said to be so expensive that Soogeun actually insisted that Jiwon pay for it (because the younger is late). It was already funny during the first episode of the season, and I wonder how much hilarious things in the future would be. So basically, the restaurant is in the third floor of a building located on the block next to CJE&M Center in Digital Media City. And if you are curious as to how much Jiwon paid for, it's 45,000 to 75,000 Won per serving. Proof? you can visit this blog . IMPORTANT NOTE: This post may not be 100% accurate.

New Journey to the West Season 2.5 Filming Locations (Korea)

I realized that I really need some Korean variety shows in my life and here's my most favorite so far: New Journey to the West. I know I'm so late on this one, but let me just take you back to almost three years ago until we get to the present so we can ID some of the New Journey to the West Filming Locations , which -let's admit- isn't too much (since the show is majorly filmed overseas). 1. English Level Test Venue 42 Dabang (Already Closed)   Address:  42-19 Sangam-dong, Mapo-gu, Seoul So in 2016, Season 2.5 began with a meeting in Sangam-dong, near CJ E&M Building. Back then, the coffee shop is called 42 Dabang  and this Korean blog will show you how it used to look like. After a year, it was transformed into another kind of restaurant called Seusidai (2nd picture) and I don't think they're selling coffee anymore. I'm yet to figure out if it's still the same after another year. 42Dabang is already closed and is replaced

NCT Life in Seoul Filming Locations

Because I need some Korean variety shows in my life, I decided to give NCT Life in Seoul a try. While I'm not exactly a fan of the group, I've always liked the concept of teen KPOP stars appearing on shows like this. (Maybe, it's because Super Junior started this way too, for me.) So since the show mainly focuses on going around Seoul , I find it interesting to ID some filming locations, and filling up myself with some brand new information about the city which will surely come handy once I finally go on a  tour to Korea  this year. 1. SM Entertainment Communication Center Address: 648 Samsung-ro, Gangnam-gu, Seoul When I last posted an entry here about SM Entertainment, I only knew of three buildings they own: Chungdam-dong, Apgujeong-dong, and the one in COEX Artium. Now, they even have the Communication Center in Samsung-ro.  So this is basically where everything started. The members split into two teams ( Kun/Jaehyun/Doyoung vs Winwin/Taeyo
