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/Taeyong/Yuta) and had their first mission. I'm not sure though but I think SUM Cafe is in this building.

To get there, you can use the Green Line (Seoul Subway Line 7) and get off the Cheongdam Station Exit 6. It's just a few blocks away from the station.




2. Kyungnidan-gil, Itaewon





The boys were dropped off in a corner along Noksanpyeong-daero. When they turned right, it's Itaewon proper where cafes and restaurants are all lined-up. ICYDK, the street is a famous tourist destination in Seoul due to its environment. Most young people come here with friends or lovers, particularly because of the atmosphere.

Their first stop is a store called Tasty Road which sells bread with so much melted cheese. ISTG I'm gonna try it once I get there.


Then at the end of the road, there's gonna be a Y-junction. The members then turned left, if you still want to follow their path. LOL

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...

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. :)

[Roommate/룸메이트] The Glamorous House for Roommate

Roommate House 66 Daesagwan-ro, Seongbuk-dong, Seongbuk-gu, Seoul 서울 성북구 성북동 대사관로 66 I am totally amazed with this house. I mean, I would love to have the same one! With Chanyeol and Dongwook in it, please! I'm loving the variety show. Frankly speaking, I am kinda worried about Chanyeol because of the rules but given everything that happened and are happening, I decided it was a good decision. I have concluded that I would rather see Yeol falling in love with one of the housemates than a news like what we had a week ago. LOL Anyway, here's the house, another reason to go on a tour to Seoul . It's definitely not easy to visit considering its location But if you're going there, drop me a comment and I'll see what I can do. *winks* (Although I'll just most likely suggest that you take a cab LOL) FOLLOW US FOR MORE UPDATES!
