[On Style] Jessica's Favorite Boutique

KOON 39 Seolleung-ro 146-gil, Gangnam-gu, Seoul (서울 강남구 선릉로146길 39) Bored at home because Soojung was on work, Sooyeon decided to call her stylist unnie and together, they went shopping in Gangnam-gu. And their destination? KOON. According to On Style 's narrator, this is Jessica's favorite boutique. Cool, right? It amazed me how they knew about this. But then celebrities will always know where the top places are, after all. They need to be on top of their games anyway so they need the best fashion items. Apparently, this shop has everything Jessica likes. If you want to shop here too but don't know how to get there, drop me a comment. I might be able to help. :) FOLLOW US FOR MORE UPDATES!

[Triangle] Im Siwan at Once in a Blue Moon

Once in a Blue Moon 85-1 Chungdam-dong, Gangnam-gu, Seoul (강남구 청담동 85-1) On the first episode, Im Siwan was seen watching a jazz singer inside a club called Once in a Blue Moon. Well, it's actually the club's name and it is located in Gangnam District, beside the gym where Roommate's Son Gayeon trains . Actually, this jazz bar was introduced to me by a reader who shared the location for Cunning Single Lady featuring Seo Kangjoon and Lee Minjung; and personally, I find it really interesting because from the two scenes, I thought that it would be a great place to unwind. I love jazz music, after all! For the directions and questions, you can drop me a comment okay? :) FOLLOW US FOR MORE UPDATES! IMPORTANT NOTE: This post may not be 100% accurate.

[Roommate/룸메이트] The Bling Bling Shop Bom, Lee Sora and Gayeon Went To

MIK 24/7 21 Apgujeong-ro 54-gil, Gangnam-gu, Seoul (서울 강남구 압구정로54길 21) When Lee Sora, Bom and Gayeon went out to visit a tarot card reader, they went here afterwards for some shopping. Obviously, Bom got excited because of the accessories and I'm pretty sure the company credit card was put into some good use. HEH. So yeah, from what I've read, MIK 24/7 actually stands for Made in Korea 24/7. It's a relatively new shop in Rodeo Street in Apgujeong which features the designs of local fashion designers. The prices are comparatively cheaper, as people say, as oppose to the top brands which has the same quality. For more pictures of the store, you can visit these blogs: miju0041  | jigun I'm sure you'll all love to go shopping for some interesting Korean-made items when you go on a tour to Korea , so if you want to know the directions on how to get to this store, please do drop a comment and I'll help you find your way! :) FOLLOW US FOR MORE U...

[On Style] Jessica Waiting for Krystal at A Twosome Place

A Twosome Place 19 Dosandaero-37gil, Gangnam-gu, Seoul (서울 강남구 도산대로37길 19) Located at the Sinsadong area, this cafe is where Jessica waited for Krystal during the latter part of On Style's first episode. There are over 200 branches of A Twosome Place in Seoul and thank God, I found this. LOL It's easy to locate. Drop me a comment if you wish to have the directions! :) FOLLOW US FOR MORE UPDATES!

EXO's Tao at Alexander Wang Store

First photo, credited as tagged Alexander Wang Chungdam-dong, Gangnam-gu, Seoul Alexander Wang is another designer brand which the EXO boys love to wear. I'm not sure if it's recent but Tao was spotted at the store in Gangnam. It is easy to be located. The store is just behind Givenchy store which Luhan loves. HAHA It is in front of The Trinity Place, on the street just across the Galleria East Mall. Easy, right? I swear it's the boys' favorite area. EDIT: NO! HE'S NOT SHOPPING ALONE. HUANG ZI TAO IS WITH HUANG XIAOMING & ANGELABABY. CHAPERONE. THIRD WHEEL. HAHA JK FOLLOW US FOR MORE UPDATES! IMPORTANT NOTE: This post may not be 100% accurate.

[I Need Romance 3/로맨스가 필요해 3] Nam Gungmin and Wang Jiwon at Prugio Valley

Prugio Valley 337 Yeongdongdae-ro, Gangnam-gu, Seoul (서울 강남구 영동대로 337) This is the office of Seryeong. But scratch that because the frustrated architect and interior designer in me is squealing right now. I don't know what PRUGIO Valley is. Maybe an architectural firm? An interior designing firm? An apartment chain? What's important is that its buildings features totally captivating designs like the one above. Geez. Does this fall in the avant-garde category? Whatever. IT'S BEAUTIFUL. Believe me. I'll travel to South Korea for the buildings and bridges. FOLLOW US FOR MORE UPDATES! IMPORTANT NOTE: This post may not be 100% accurate.

EXO Chen in front of Galleria

first photo, credited as tagged Galleria Apgujeong-ro, Chungdamg-dong, Gangnam-gu, Seoul Just this afternoon, pictures of Chen in the street surfaced around Weibo. In the picture, he was seen standing in front of a pedestrian crossing, probably to cross the street. Well, it's in the Apgujeong Rodeo Street , in front of the Galleria Mall .  Galleria is perhaps one of the most famous shopping malls in Seoul. It is close to the old SM Entertainment building and probably the boys' dorm too. It's a nice place that even Shindong of Super Junior used it as a venue for his music video . To get there, all you need is to find your way to the Apgujeong Rodeo Station and get off Exit 7 . :) FOLLOW US FOR MORE UPDATES! IMPORTANT NOTE: This post may not be 100% accurate.

Luhan at Givenchy Chungdam-dong

Givenchy 414 Apgujeong-ro, Gangnam-gu, Seoul (서울 강남구 압구정로 414) I think that by now, we all know that Luhan (and the rest of Chinaline in EXO) is actually a big fan of branded items. And while Gucci is Tao's favorite, Luhan seems to be so much into Givenchy . And the day after he went back to Korea, he was spotted in the Chungdamdong Branch, shopping for a new sweater which was reportedly around $600. Rich kid, damn it. The Givenchy Seoul branch is located in front of the shopping mall Galleria. It's like a few blocks away from the old SM Entertainment building so it's fairly easy to locate. Beside it is the MCM store which I think is another Luhan favorite. Hah! Anyway, I got this information from Weibo so I give credit to the names tagged in the pictures. TRIVIA:  Many pronounce GIVENCHY as /gib-en-chee/ I am guilty until I learned that the proper pronunciation is /jee-vhon-shee/ or 지방시 I know, the brand is quite expensive but I want to g...

[The Heirs] Park Shinhye at Galateo

Galateo Chungdam-dong, Gangnam-gu, Seoul Looked a lot for this, I don't know why though LOL In the drama, it is where the uniform for Empire High can be bought. It's not a really popular shooting location for the Korean drama The Heirs but it still is one of them so I included it. :) FOLLOW US FOR MORE UPDATES!

CNBLUE Yonghwa and FNC President Han (?) at New FNC Building

first photo, credited as tagged FNC Entertainment 111 Dosandae-ro 85-gil, Chungdam-dong, Gangnam-gu, Seoul I know this is way too overdue. I actually forgot about ID-ing this but then I came across the picture and how can I resist a normal-looking (slippers-wearing) Jung Yonghwa? Hahaha You know guys? For an entertainment company, this is quite hidden.  (As if Apple of the Eye isn't... Hahaha.) It's easy to locate.. but it's quite a long walk to get there. Taking a taxi will be a better option. Anyway, it's just near the new SM Entertainment building... and near.... hahahahaha! Here's how the whole facade looks like: I'll be posting a separate tutorial on how to get there so no map for this post. It needs time hahahahaha Important Note: This post may not be 100% accurate.

EXO Sehun and Suho at Cofioca

first photo from  ryoheing51  COFIOCA 659-9 Seoulleung-ro 161-gil, Sinsa-dong, Gangnam-gu, Seoul So I'm pretty sure you EXO stans are curious as to where HunHan's favorite Bubbletea place is? So yeah, it's CAFIOCA in Sinsa-dong. I've been trying to look for pictures with Luhan and Sehun in it but I only found with Sehun and Mama Suho. Anyway, it's pretty near the old SM Entertainment but is still quite a distance. Hahaha! Confusing? Here's a map: Cofioca is just below SM's Everysing, the shooting location of M&D's Close Your Mouth . I decided to start on Apgujeong Rodeo Station Exit 6 since it's the most possible drop off point for people using the subway. If you're coming from the old SME Building though, I think it's okay to suggest that you just walk and take in the beauty of Sinsa-dong, or ride the taxi. If you're looking for other pictures of the cafe, you can visit these blogs: ...

EXO Kris (and Tao) in front of Hillside Building

first photo: credit as tagged Hillside Building 83-21 Chungdam-dong, Gangnam-gu, Seoul So you guys know about how TaoRis spend their dates? LOL They love biking and they were recently spotted in front of Hillside Building. It is just near SM Entertainment building so it's kinda easy to locate. Once again, SM Entertainment is the benchmark. :))) But what amuses me is the fact that Agent Provocateur is a lingerie shop. I don't know. Don't mind me. I'm kinda crazy. :)) IMPORTANT NOTE: This blog post may not be 100% accurate.

[Can We Get Married?] Jung So Min and Seong Joon at Imperial Palace Hotel Seoul

Imperial Palace Hotel 248-7 Nonhyeon-dong, Gangnam-gu, Seoul http://www.imperialpalace.co.kr/eng/ The Imperial Palace Hotel is one of the most luxurious hotels in Seoul. Located in a strategic location in the posh district of Gangnam, this 5-star lodging establishment is definitely the place to be. The room used by Jung So Min and Seong Joon for Can We Get Married is the Imperial Palace Royal Suite. Its rate is 5 million won per night, if I'm not mistaken. Well, with the opulent appointment and the space it guarantees, there's no wondering why it's that expensive. I personally think that for splurge vacationers who want to experience the real GANGNAM STYLE, a stay at the Imperial Palace Hotel is necessary. The place is not just a lodging establishment, after all. It is also a very good venue to discover the impressive Korean accommodation and hospitality.  Anyway, the place is too expensive, right? But fret not. There are many hotel deals online. Pe...
