Recommended by Koreans, K-POP DEMON HUNTERS, Places to Visit in Korea(From a Local Fan)

1. Bukchon Hanok Village
It is the only place in Seoul where you can see a traditional Korean residential style
There are also a lot of foreigners, and the view from Bukchon Hanok Village looking down on the Anguk Station area is really nice. There is no place to eat near Hanok Village. You have to go down the hill.

2. N Seoul Tower
If you visit in spring(3rd week of April), the cherry blossoms are really pretty. Recommended as a night view spot in Seoul! There are various restaurants, cafes, and pubs. It is a really good place to visit in the evening after 7pm. Have a beer while looking at the night view.

3. Naksan Park
The fortress connecting Daehakro and Dongdaemun DDP. It is located near Hyehwa Station (Daehakro), the center of small theaters in Korea, so it is visited by many locals in their 20s and 30s. There is a Ihwa Mural Village near Naksanseong Fortress. You can tour it together.
It is a really beautiful place when the lights come on on the wall in the evening. A similar place is Suwon Hwaseong in Suwon, Gyeonggi-do. Naksan Park and Suwon Hwaseong are filming locations that often appear in Korean dramas these days.

4. insadong
This is a tourist destination that local residents do not visit often. Local residents visit this place once or twice in their lifetime. These days, young Korean friends in their 20s and 30s often visit Seosun-ra-gil/Ikseon-dong/Euljiro. This is a place that sells handmade products and where you can try Siltare desserts.

5. samsung station
There are various shopping spaces, K-POP billboards, and many large hotels. Samseong Station is where COEX, where various large-scale events are held, is located. It is also where various commercial districts and financial companies are gathered. It is a very busy area. Personally, I would not recommend this place as fun. In September and October, K-POP concerts are held at COEX Yeongdong-daero.

6.Jayang Station(Line 7)
Ttukseom Hangang Park is a place where people in their 20s and 30s rent tents from nearby stores and have a culture of drinking various types of alcohol and eating delivery food with their friends.

7.Cheongdam Bridge
When this place appeared in Demon Hunters, even I, a local, wondered if there was such a place. It was very strange to see a train passing under the bridge. It's a place I want to visit too.

8.Seoul Olympic Main Stadium
Since I started liking the idol called ONEUS, I also got into K-POP culture and often visit this place to see various festivals and concerts. It is a place where various music events and sports games are held. It is a good place to take a walk, and it is also a good place to take pictures because the Olympic Park has various flowers planted for each season.
 

9.Myeongdong street food
Seoul is largely divided into Gangnam and Gangbuk, and the center of Gangbuk is Myeongdong. There are various shopping malls and financial industrial complexes. The street food in Myeongdong is similar to the night markets in Taiwan. The price is the same as eating at a restaurant. The price of food trucks along the Hangang River in Yeouido on a summer evening is similar.
 
 
 
I also like Gangbuk more than Gangnam. There are many mountains in the north, and the old and new city centers are beautifully mixed with nature.
 
This time, Demon Hunter introduced Korean culture, so I visited there in person and wrote a blog post about what I felt as a local. If the response is good, I will continue to write :)
