[Roommate/룸메이트] Home of the Spiciest Jjamppong

Singil-dong Spicy Jjamppong 233-4 Dosin-ro, Yeongdeungpo-gu, Seoul (서울 영등포구 도신로 233-4) I think it's in Episode 8 when the Roommates decided to look for the spiciest food to feed Sora, who never sweat while eating hot dishes. They went around and Gayeon, Nana, Seho and Seojun went to this restaurant in Seoul for the famous spicy jjamppong! Like revealed in the variety show, this one was actually recognized by Star King, and other programs. I think it was rather amazing how they really have the spiciest jjamppong when I cannot even tolerate a regular one. During the filming of the show, the cook challenged the Roommates that if they can finish the large bowl fully, he will give away jjamppongs to customers on the following week. And LOL they did, and so the free jjamppongs happened. :p To see more about the restaurant, you can visit this blog . To get there, one has to take the subway to Singil Station and then go for quite a long walk to the main site. For more d...

[Roommate/룸메이트] Because For Kangjun and Minwoo, What Dongwook Hyung Wants, Dongwook Hyung Gets.

병천황토방순대 10 Nonhyeon-ro 131-gil, Gangnam-gu, Seoul (서울 강남구 논현로131길 10) Before going to their hyung's photoshoot and after their makeover at the salon, Kangjun and Minwoo called their Dongwook hyung to ask what he wants. Jokingly, the older guy answered he want soju and sundae soup. Because what Dongwook wants, he gets, Kangjun insisted that they really buy it in case their hyung really wants to eat it at the set. So they did. And they stopped at this small sundae shop in Nonhyeon-ro. For directions, please do drop a comment. Thank you! FOLLOW US FOR MORE UPDATES!

[Roommate/룸메이트] The Spicy Curry House

Curry House Myeongryun 2-ga, Jongno-gu, Seoul (서울 종로구 명륜2가) This is the curry house where Seho, Kangjun, Gayeon and Nana went to to find the spiciest curry they could ever get for Sora. It was a mission, I think; and true to Seho's words, the curry house was really in front of the main gate of Sungkyunkwan University so was fairly easy to locate. I'm not really for curries and very spicy food but seeing them eat it, I really want to try. LOL It's easy to find the restaurant, albeit its narrow and unattractive entrance. For directions, please do drop me a comment. FOLLOW US FOR MORE UPDATES! IMPORTANT NOTE: This post may not be 100% accurate.

[ROOMMATE/룸메이트] Minwoo Bought Gayeon Flowers. MINWOO BOUGHT GAYEON FLOWERS!

해동꽃농원 (Haedong Flower Farm) 50-2 Seongbuk-ro, Seongbuk-gu, Seoul (서울 성북구 성북로 50-2) LOL Excuse me for my title. It was Son Gayeon's coming of age day and the members of Roommate celebrated it by preparing a small surprise spearheaded by Park Minwoo. That night, he rode his bike again and went to the nearest flower shop in the area to buy flowers for their maknae. And honestly, I think it was sweet. I know Minwoo suffered from negative impressions when he got envious of Kangjun's success and reprimanded him during his friends' visit; but I think it was just a phase and to be honest, I found the older guy to be really sweet to his housemates. I love how he has sense on everything. I love how he takes care of Gayeon. :) What do you think? FOLLOW US FOR MORE UPDATES! IMPORTANT NOTE: This post may not be 100% accurate.

[Roommate/룸메이트] Kangjun and Minwoo's Open-Air Catwalk

ESTHETICA Dosandae-ro 67-gil, Chungdamdong, Gangnam-gu, Seoul (서울 강남구 청담동 도산대로67길) After their visit to The Red Carpet Salon , Kangjun and Minwoo went back to their car and on this street just on the other corner of the building, they walked like fashion models. So they basically turned this narrow street into a runway and it was hilarious. It's near the salon, on the street next to Infinite's building. So yeah, this is in Chungdam-dong. Feel free to visit it when you're going on a tour to Seoul! FOLLOW US FOR MORE UPDATES! IMPORTANT NOTE: This post may not be 100% accurate.

[Roommate/룸메이트] Nana and Soohyun at Myeongdong

Myeongdong Shopping Street Myeongdong 2-ga, Jung-gu, Seoul (서울 중구 명동2가) Probably bored at home, Roommates Nana and Hong Soohyun decided to go bond with each other in a way girls know best: SHOPPING! Actually, they wanted to go to a place full of people to probably test the popularity of the show so they headed to Myeongdong. Located in a busy district in Seoul, Myeongdong is a definite tourist attraction in South Korea because it is where exciting shopping experiences happen. Its streets are flocked in with shoppers from all ages and nationalities because there are certainly lots of establishments in the area selling various items from clothes to accessories, and anything under the sun! There are also lots of restaurants in there, making it a good venue for romantic dates! It is a common thing to see celebrities filming their Korean dramas, variety shows, movies, or whatever there. Sometimes, they come there to just relax and live normally like other people, and...

[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...

[Roommate/룸메이트] World Cup Fever at the Gwanghwamun Square

Gwanghwamun Square 1-57 Sejong-ro, Jongno-gu, Seoul 종로구 세종로 1-57  One of the biggest events in South Korea every year is the World Cup season. As the citizens have intense love for soccer (futsal) and are very competitive, they support the Korean Soccer Team (Red Devils) with all their might - and they will take it even to the streets to show their dedication and undying love. This year, South Korea also participated in the World Cup Season in Brazil and as expected, Koreans were ecstatic. Even the members of Roommate weren't exempted in the hype. Some of them even went to Gwanghwamun Square in Seoul to watch with the people the first game against Russia. Unfortunately though, the score was tied - and in the end of the season, SK didn't make it to the finals. RELATED ARTICLE: The Glamorous House of Roommate Anyway, Gwanghwamun Square is one of the most ideal tourist destinations in Seoul. It's like a must for every foreigner to visit. It is a boulevard located...

[Roommate/룸메이트] Rice Cake Shop From Where Seho Ordered the Rice Cakes From

Rice Cake Shop Seongbuk-ro 21-gil, Seongbuk-dong, Seongbuk-gu, Seoul (서울 성북구 성북동 성북로21길) I can't remember if it's in Episode 2 or 3 where Seho was seen buying rice cakes so the roommates can give it to their neighbors. I guess that's the Korean tradition when you're new to a community. And this is the shop where he ordered the rice cakes from! This is near the bakery from where Chanyeol bought the cake for Sungwoo . Hihihi. FOLLOW US FOR MORE UPDATES! IMPORTANT NOTE: This post may not be 100% accurate.

[Roommate/룸메이트] Sora and Soohyun at Samcheongdong

Samcheong-dong Road Samcheong-dong, Jongno-gu, Seoul (서울 종로구 삼청동) Sora once said that she loves Samcheong-dong so much and I just can't help but agree. It has the same appeal as Pyeongchang-dong but I think it feels like Bukchon . The place is a mix of old and new and it just creates a wonderful and charming atmosphere. The thing about Samcheong-dong is it cafes and restaurants. There are so much to visit in here and I am personally attracted by the fact that you would have to climb steep stairs to get to some places. Exciting, and everything's just so picturesque so it's not a wonder why Sora and Soohyun actually had a swift photoshoot while walking around :p Anyway, one of my favorite cafes in the area is the one used in I Need Romance 3 . :) FOLLOW US FOR MORE UPDATES!

[Roommate/룸메이트] Venue of Three Muskeeters

Sejong Center Sejong-ro, Jongno-gu, Seoul (서울 종로구 세종로) Remember when Chanyeol went to this restaurant to celebrate the end of Three Muskeeters with his Sungwoo hyung and the rest of the cast members, including Super Junior's Kyuhyun? Okay, so this is where Sungwoo was prior to that. This is the Sejong Center, probably the largest concert venue in Seoul. It is located in Gwanghwamun , and is one of the most famous tourist attractions. I remember when this was featured in Running Man , they said that only the biggest and most prestigious productions are held there and even artists feel honored to perform on its stages. ^__^ It is not difficult to locate the Sejong Center. As I've said, it is in Gwanghwamun, along Sejong Road. It faces the Gwanghwamun Square and is definitely just a few steps away from the Gyeongbuk Palace. FOLLOW US FOR MORE UPDATES!

[Roommate/룸메이트] Nana at Gayeon Doing their Groceries for PATBINGSU

Home Plus 46-73 Hawolguk-dong, Seongbuk-gu, Seoul (성북구 하월곡동 46-73) I'm sorry. I'm not that sure about this but the location makes sense. I've been trying to find a large Home Plus (YES IT'S HOME PLUS NOT ROOM PLUS) branch around Seongbuk-gu mainly because Soohyun said it's just around 10 minutes away from their house; and this is the closest thing I can find. HAHA. The buildings are quite the same though, and the road around the area was just as complicated as Nana experienced it to be. LOL. I've always wanted to ID a supermarket, ever since Minhyuk decided to do some grocery shopping with Jungshin in the past. But I failed because there's just no clue, so I'm just elated to have found this one. I love grocery shopping after all and I'm pretty positive that that's going to be the first thing I do when I finally get to Seoul! FOLLOW US FOR MORE UPDATES!

[Roommate/룸메이트] The Car Shop where Nana and Gayeon Stopped

CARPOS Seongbuk-ro, Seongbuk-dong, Seongbuk-gu, Seoul (서울 성북구 성북로) When Nana and Gayeon decided to do their groceries for Patbingsu, they used the car and Nana drove. However, there seemed to be a little problem with the breaks that the car won't stop beeping. LOL. In the end, they decided to solve the matter by stopping by a car shop in Seongbuk-dong. It is actually near the Roommate house . Frankly speaking, I don't take interest on the car shop. I am interested with the Seollongtang Restaurant in front of it. As I have researched, it is apparently a popular place in the area and maybe, you'll like it there! Anyway, I have found several pictures of Gayeon on the internet and I wonder what was that in her tummy. A tattoo or a birthmark? Either way, she's so incredibly sexy! I never knew she actually became a ring girl. Heh. 엑소얘들아~~ 보고있니? ㅋㅋㅋ FOLLOW US FOR MORE UPDATES! IMPORTANT NOTE: This post may not be 100% accurate.
