We are back again with the series of K-POP Idol Tour. This time, it features the YG's one of the most loved boy group, iKON Tour.
Let's go through clothing stores, restaurants, photo zone, or just places to chill that iKON visited. As you follow their footsteps, you might find their natural and funny moments. Let's go!
Chuu Hongdae Flagship Store
If you are a shopping lover, you would know our first destination, Chuu Hongdae Flagship Store. Hongdae is an area you must not miss because of all the popular restaurants, beautiful cafes and clothing stores.
iKON visited the place on 'dingo style' and helped girls choose clothes and makeups. If you have missed it, it's really fun, so find it on YouTube.
Chuu is located right across the road of Style Nanda, and you can go shopping on two of the most famous Korean clothing brands. Chuu's -5kg pants are really useful, making you look fit and slim. Even if you are not an iKON fan, you won't be disappointed. In Chuu, you can find the fashion trend among locals.

Address: 20, Wausan-ro 29da-gil, Seogyo-dong, Mapo-gu, Seoul
Hour: Every day 12:00-21:00
Hakjune Masitneun Gogitjib
Next place is a Korean BBQ restaurant, Hakjune Masitneun Gogitjib. The place is run by Bobby's aunt, and if you are really lucky, you might run across him.
Korean BBQ is a menu that you must try if you are travelling in Korea, and the place is spacious and neat, so even if you are in a large group, it's okay.
ig: nomoneynohanbinThe pork here is high quality, and it goes perfectly well with doenjang-jjigae (soybean paste stew). It's an open secret that Bobby visits the place quite often, and he is really friendly to take photos with you. Hope you get to meet him on your visit!

Address: 서울 서초구 방배로 138
Hour: 11:00-23:00
dal.komm
After a heavy meal, we need to stop by a cafe for a cup of coffee and chill. How about dal.komm cafe, which was used to prank Jin Hwan on a reality show. It's funny to see how other members fool around the hidden camera, and if you want to see it again, you can check it out at IKON TV ep.7.
dal.komm has many branches around Seoul, and the place on the show was the Sangam Branch. However, Sangam Branch is closed for now and is a bit too far away. Even if you visit the place you won't be able to find the place where the members were.

Hours: 11:00-22:00
Bukhansan
Bukhansan is the mountain that B.I often visits. Even though he is not a member anymore, he is still missed by his team members and fans.
The mountain is located in Seoul, and you can easily go on a hike. There are many paths to start from, and you can choose the path that is suitable for your physical condition.
On Bukhansan, you can appreciate the beautiful natural scenery of Korea. You can take the same path that B.I took on iKON TV, which is the hardest one. If your body is not ready, it's better to take another route, and you can still find beautiful natural sites.

Address: 서울특별시 우이동
Hangang Yeouido Park
Yeouido Park is a popular picnic spot for both tourists and locals. It's a great place to go on a date, take a walk with friends, or sit back and enjoy the scenery of the river. It is a place for everyone, and you can easily get there by getting off at the Yeouinaru Station Exit 2.
If you want to follow the iKON's footprint, get off at Exit 2 and walk straight until you reach the bridge. You'll find the filming spot for the 8th episode of IKON TV, where they self-produced a music video. The members in a girl's costume are hilarious, and I couldn't stop myself from smiling.
Hangang Yeouido Park
Address: 330, Yeouidong-ro, Yeouido-dong, Yeongdeungpo-gu, Seoul
Hour: 24 hours
Hongdae Playground
The next place, Hongdae Playground, is an iconic place in Hongdae. Here, Bobby and WINNER's Mino performed together, and if you search a bit deeper, you can find many other idols performing here.
Get out of Hongik Univ. Station Exit 5, go straight until you reach the second intersection, and turn right. Cross the street, and you'll find the shopping district. Turn left at the Etude shop, and you'll find the playground in front.
It is not as complicated as it sounds, and it is a nice place to visit after your shopping in Hongdae.

Address: 406 Seogyo-dong, Mapo-gu, Seoul
Dongjak Bridge
Our final location is the Dongjak Bridge. This is where many idols go for a photoshoot or film a music video. The music video for Goodbye Road (이별길) was taken here. The bridge has a beautiful view, and you can take great pictures of yourself!
From the bridge, you can keep walking to the Seorae Island and appreciate the view of the Rainbow Fountain. Walk a bit further, and you can arrive at Express Bus terminal where you can enjoy shopping at a reasonable price.
