Andante : Yeogang High School

Yeogang High School 337-8 Yeogang-ro, Buknae-myeon, Yeoju-si, Gyeonggi-do 경기도 여주시 북내면 여강로 337-8 EXO's Kai has dipped his hand on acting and this is his first major project, I suppose. Paired with model-turned-actress Kim Jinkyung, Kai plays the role of Lee Si Kyung, a high school student who really does bad in school but is nonetheless, a good person. As this Korean drama is a youth-oriented program with students for its main characters, it is just right that most of the scenes were filmed in a school. And in this case, scenes are filmed in Yeogang High School in Gyeonggi. I am yet to watch the full episodes but as Kai is a top star, I think the Korean drama filming locations were concentrated on this area only. Let's see. :) IMPORTANT NOTE: This post may not be 100% accurate .

EXO Love Me Right Jacket Photoshoot Location

As EXO has finally come back (albeit 9 members), slaying all others with its title track, Love Me Right, I couldn't help but feel extremely elated. They're up to some of the biggest names in the KPOP history but I think they're gonna make it. Love Me Right has this intriguing, addicting and impressive appeal that draws listeners to it. So I'm betting that it's really gonna be at par with all else in the music scene today. Now, as the album came out, photos naturally were scanned and uploaded on the internet. I have found some from FY-EXO . Some of the scans are from BabyLove   and OLIV . And while I'm very much in love with the quality of the shoot, I think I was more interested on the fact that it was shot in Yongma Land . YONGMA LAND 118 Mangu-ro 70-gil, Jungrang-gu, Seoul  (서울 중랑구 망우로70길 118) To those who don't know, Yongma Land is actually an abandoned amusement park in Seoul. 'Abandoned' may sound like a little creepy but altho...

How To Get to KAMONG (EXO Kai's Noona's Cafe)

source KAMONG ( 카몽) 356 Seochodae-ro, Seocho-gu, Seoul (서울 서초구 서초대로 356) Just today, KAMONG opened. It's a cafe owned by Kai's noona (older sister) and is actually gaining a lot of attention from fans. Well, why wouldn't it? Right? In a blog post I read about the new cafe in Seoul, KAMONG is actually KAI+MONGGU. And I really find it cute. Kai ships himself with his dog, the noona supports it. This is family love, okay? I'm not really sure if it's legit because there seems another explanation in the blog post - which I couldn't understand since my Korean is very limited. LOL So aside from Chanyeol's parents' restaurants and the bubble tea store , here's another dining establishment which EXO fans will surely want to go to Seoul for. How to get there, you ask? Here are the directions to Kamong Cafe: 1. Find your way to the Gyodae Station/교대역 (Green Line) and use Exit 1. 2. Head straight towards the direct...

[EXO Showtime] Kai and Suho at Seonyudo Park

Seonyudo Park 343 Seonyu-ro, Yeongdeungpo-gu, Seoul (서울 영등포구 선유로 343) I've always been fascinated with the Hangang Citizen Park but thanks to Kai and Suho, I think I found a better place to stroll at night when I go to Korea ! Yes, this is where they took the three dogs for a run during EXO Showtime Episode 2. I honestly never thought I'll be able to locate this place, but I guess it's the EXO effect that worked.^^ CNBLUE has a shot here too, but I couldn't find their picture. 헐. About this being my favorite, it is a beautiful sight during Spring and Summer. But when it's Autumn and Winter, it creates a dramatic atmosphere perfect for shoots.

Top Hanok Guesthouses in Seoul

Being a highly modernized city, there is an abundance of hotel chains around Seoul in South Korea. Especially nowadays, the tourism industry is rapidly progressing; and so the need for possible accommodations is dire.  While it is nothing but pleasant to stay in Seoul hotels , people who wish to deviate from the usual and get intimate with the Korean culture are invited to stay in hanok guesthouses. Hanok is the term used to refer to traditional Korean houses which we usually see in Korean dramas; and there are so many around the capital city, particularly in the Jongno District. Among the top choices are as follows: Seoul Guesthouse. Considered as the largest and oldest hanok in the famed Bukchon Hanok Village, the Seoul Guesthouse is a primary option for many people who wish not to stay away from the Gwanghwamun Area. Room rates begin at 40,000WON. Facilities like phone, refrigerator, WI-FI internet, cable TV, bathroom and kitchen are for common use, enco...

[EXO Showtime] EXO Sehun and Kai at Moon Guesthouse

2nd photo from TripAdvisor Moon Guesthouse 87-1 Unni-dong, Jongno-gu, Seoul (서울 종로구 운니동 87-1) Aside from going to Seoul, one of my ultimate dreams in life is to stay in a hanok, a traditional Korean house. Since April Kisses days (I was in high school back then!), I have really loved its structure and I even dreamed of living in one. Hehe. Anyway, this is where Sehun and Kai went to for their funny clip in EXO Showtime Episode 8. FOLLOW US FOR MORE UPDATES! IMPORTANT NOTE: This post may not be 100% accurate.

[EXO Showtime] EXO at Chinatown Incheon

Chinatown Incheon Bukseong-dong, Jung-gu, Incheon 인천 중구 북성동   For EXO Showtime Episode 7, the boys went to Chinatown Incheon. Here are the places they went to: This is where they bought the dolls. This store is located quite far from the main entrance but it is easy to find because you just have to walk straight from the arc and you'll find this one.  The shabu shabu restaurant where they ate hotpot is just in front of the LG U Square store you can see in the first picture.

EXO at Le Boutique Bleue

Le Boutique Bleue 743-24 Hannam-dong, Yongsan-gu, Seoul (서울시 용산구 한남동 743-24) I loved the building! I love the design! But most of all, I LOVE THE SKT AD WITH EXO!!!! The building's a beauty gallery. It's like a shop for Swiss Perfection products which are displayed as if the building's a museum. There are spas there, I think. See more pictures in this blog ! When you're in Seoul , make sure to visit the place okay? FOLLOW US FOR MORE UPDATES! IMPORTANT NOTE: This post may not be 100% accurate.

EXO K in Busan

Minrak-dong, Suyeong-gu, Busan Okay. So this is totally a gamble. LOL. I am not sure but given that they were in Busan and I found a clue, I realized that maybe... just maybe... they were indeed in this place. If you wish to visit it, it's in front of Su Jeong Gung (수장궁) Restaurant and Twosome Place. There's Mango Six there too. Anyway, here's the clue I found: The picture I used was taken on 2011 according to Daum. But the key there is the building that has a blue green whatever. LOL. If it's not where EXO K went to, I think it's gonna be worth it to visit it still. ^^
