BTS Tour | Top 8 Places in Korea
Follow in BTS's footsteps around the country!
If you are an ARMY, get ready to pack your bags because you'll want to go on a trip to these 8 fantastic places. These cafes and spots have all been visited by BTS and you'll want to follow in their footsteps. Let's go ARMYs!
&gather Cafe
First up is a cafe called &gather where BTS shot their episode 45 of Run BTS!
It was the episode where every member turned into a barista and made their own coffee. Jin had to wear a Cooky outfit as his punishment which was super cute!
&gather is very famous for its coffee so it's a great place for coffee lovers too. Don't worry if you don't like coffee because there are other tasty beverages too.
Don't forget to take a picture under this neon sign where the boys took their selfies. It is a hot photo zone for ARMYs and young locals who come to this cafe.
& gather often holds events where they give out BTS goods. The day I went, they held an event where you pull on a little piece of paper to win a chance to get a prize. If you pick prize number 1 you get RM's notebook!
I took my father here and he said he would like to revisit this place as it had excellent coffee. This cafe has also won an award for its coffee.

The Min’s
⭐️ Permanently Closed
The Min's is owned by 2AM Changmin's parents. This place is not that big, but you still get many tables to choose from. This cafe was visited often by BTS members back in the days.
The shop is full of posters, albums with autographs and pictures of BTS. BTS members sat in almost every seat in this cafe. The owner was super friendly, asking me what I brought me there.
I had to try their signature menu, which is an egg sandwich with strawberry jam. If it weren't a signature menu I wouldn't have ordered it as it seemed like a strange combination, but it was nicer than I expected. Five Berry Ade is BTS's regular drink here.
| Address | 서울특별시 강남구 신사동 압구정로 330 |
| Hours | Mon-Sun 10:00-19:00 |
Daeo Bookstore
Daeo Bookstore was visited by RM twice! This is the oldest bookstore in Seoul but has transformed into a cafe. It has maintained its original look of a bookstore. Visiting here is like going back to the past. Take a photo in this exact angle to match RM's pose!

Enjoy a nice beverage and admire the drawings and paintings of idols hanging inside the cafe.
| Address | 서울특별시 종로구 청운효자동 자하문로7길 55 |
| Hours | Mon-Sun 11:00-20:00 |
BTS Bus Stop
BTS Bus Stop is located in the Jumunjin district of Gangneung, Gangwon Province, at Cheongsihaeng Beach. This is the photoshoot location of You Never Walk Alone album.
This bus stop is no longer in use, so a new bus stop called BTS Bus Stop was created.
Although it's a long way from Seoul, it is worth the trip as you get to experience the sandy beach and enjoy its wonderful views. Make sure to check the weather before you go.
Address: 강원 강릉시 주문진읍 향호리
Geomdansan
Geomdansan is a mountain located in Hanam, Gyeonggi Province. Jungkook and Jin travelled here during their holidays.
This mountain is hiked a lot by Koreans, so if you like a bit of challenge this is a good starter. The view from the top is breathtaking and it is 657m high.
Address: 경기 하남시 하산곡동
iZone Pop Arcade
In addition to that, there is a coin karaoke room which is considered a must-do activity in Korea. Come with friends and have fun at this cool arcade!
| Address | 서울 서대문구 신촌동 명물길 19 |
| Hours | Mon-Fri 12:00-23:00 Sat-Sun 11:00-23:00 |
Cartoon Shop V
⭐️ Permanently Closed
ARMYs who like to read comic books would've loved this place! Cartoon shop V was aired on episode 66 of Run BTS! where the boys go to play games and read comic books. This is a comic book cafe where you can read your favourite comics and chillax. Unfortunately, this place is closed for good now.
It was also the place where V and Jimin travelled during the special event for DNA comeback.
The two boys ordered Shinramyeon, jjajang ramyeon (black bean ramyeon), hot dog and spam rice. Although this specific cartoon cafe has closed down, there are plenty of other options in Korea. The biggest franchise brands you want to look for are Nolsoop and Beoltoon.
Haneul Park
The final place is one of the most popular tourist spots in Seoul. You don't have to be an ARMY to like this place. RM took a photo of him in shorts walking in Haneul park. It has a very peaceful look.
This park is a beautiful park in every season; in spring it has beautiful flowers, in summer it has vivid green grasses, in autumn leaves turn orange and brown, and in winter when it snows everything is covered in white. No matter how many times you visit, it will always be a park that will charm you.
| Address | 서울 마포구 상암동 487-48 |
| Hours | Mon-Sun 09:00-18:00 |
