How to Watch Dream Concert in Korea (Dream Concert 2017, My First Ever Kpop Concert in Korea)

Dream Concert,

It is a very big Kpop Concert in Korea, with so many idols and artists. The performers are boy groups, girl groups, and solo singers. And with all that performers, you only have to pay cheap cheap cheap price. That's why I love watching concert in Korea because it's super cheap. If I compare it to watching Kpop concert in my country, of course the price of ticket is more expensive when you watch Kpop concert in your own country (because maybe they have to pay for the accommodation, they need to pay for like hotel, flight, and everything). 

So, this 2017 Dream Concert is the very first Kpop concert I've ever had in Korea. I watch with my friend, Mbak Risa, she is my friend in graduate school who also fond of  Kpop like me. I still remember we bought the ticket for only 50.000 KRW (It's actually considered cheap if you compare when you watch it in your own country). But you know, actually the real price is much much cheaper than that, only 10.000 KRW. We bought at that price because you know the competition of getting the concert ticket in Korea is super super super difficult. Just for a few seconds, and the the tickets are all sold out. At that time me and my friend actually already tried to buy the tickets by our self in their website. We even sat at the computer lab just to get the super fast access of wifi. But still we didn't get it. So yeah we bought it from the Korean seller who wants to sell their ticket at higher price (It's worth it though). 

I watched because of BTOB, gladly we got a seat in the area where Melody sat. Super super amazing experiences because I can sing and do the fanchant together with other Melody. 

But you know, other than BTOB, there are many more artists and idol groups performed at Dream concert. That's why I guarantee you that it's super worthy to watch a Dream Concert.

Me and my friend, the first dream concert for both of us

The venue, Seoul World Cup Stadium

We were queuing to enter the venue

I didn't have official lightstick at that time,
so just bought this one

How to Go to Super Junior Kyuhyun Cafe, "Mom House" Cafe

Here is another blog to guide you to "Idol" Cafe, "MOM HOUSE" Cafe. 

Super Junior has always been one of my favorite Kpop groups ever. Me and most of my friends at my age, we all mostly know Super Junior, and we really like their song. Now you know my age lol.  And especially for me, Super Junior is one of groups that brought me to fall into Kpop music. When I lived in Korea, I went to three cafes owned by Super Junior families, first cafe is  Donghae cafe (I already made post about it here), then I continue the journey to Kyuhyun Cafe (Mom House), and the last but not least there is Yesung Cafe (Maybe I will make a post about this cafe later). 

I wonder why the name of this cafe is Mom House, maybe because this cafe is owned by Kyuhyun's mom??? (If anyone knows behind story about the name of this cafe, please just comment below hehe). 

Anyway, in this cafe, like the other cafes, you can order cake and coffee, and hang out with your friends here. Because they provide many tables and wifi. But there is other service that they provide, that is a guest house. If someday you travel to Korea, this "Mom" Guest House can be one of your options to stay because it's really near to Myeongdong, favorite shopping area for tourist and everyone's destinations when they visit Seoul.  

coffee that I ordered

I believe that I still keep the tissue lol

Inside the cafe you can find many photos, pictures, and gifts from fans for Kyuhyun. They put those things in cafe as the decoration. Here they are.

So, here is the direction to go there:

- You can take the subway, get off at Myeongdong Station, and get out from the Exit number 2.

Exit Number 2, in front of the north face store, I wonder in 2022 the store still there or not, pic source: Google map

- After that, just keep going straight a little bit (only around 50 meters), and then you will find the Hotel Prince and the shop "Alpha" located between the alley, you turn right to that alley.

  turn right to that alley, pic source: Google map

                                                   

- And just keep your eyes on your left side, because the cafe will be on left side, you just need to walk a little bit along the alley (maybe around 50 meters walk only, p.s. the road is a bit uphill), and then you will find the cafe on your left side. No need to worry to find it, because they put a large sign "MOM House" in front of the cafe.

Taraaaa, we arrive safely

How to Go to Pledis Entertainment

Are you a fan of SEVENTEEN, or NU'EST????? Or are you k-pop lovers who like to travel around K-Pop Entertainment Agency????

If your answer is yes, this post will definitely help your fangirling life ^^

This time I want to share about my visit to one of entertainment agencies in South Korea, Pledis Entertainment. But at that time, I didn't meet seventeen or Nu'est members  (I'm not lucky lol).
However, if you lucky, who knows you can meet your favorite idol coincidentally.
And you also can just take photos around or in front of the building, maybe to brag to your friend or to post it in your social media.

The situation around the building is quiet enough and sooo empty lol. And unlike some agencies which provide special cafe for fans, there is no cafe for fans who want to wait at pledis entertainment. But no need to worry, at that time I think I saw pizza restaurant and chicken restaurant near Pledis Entertainment. So maybe you can wait your favorite idols in those restaurants hehe >_<

Pledis Entertainment is actually located between two subway stations, which are Seonjeongneung Station and Samseong Jungang Station. You can either take subway or bus to arrive there.

Here is how you can go there: 

 - If you go by bus, take Green Bus 3412, and get off at "Samseong Jungang Station, Platinum Apartement" bus stop. Go straight around 1 minute or less.  Then after you see KB Bank building, you still go straight a little bit and next one you should turn right when you find Kyochon Restaurant (chicken restaurant). And you will find PLEDIS Entertainment.

 - If you go by subway, get off at Samseong Jungang Station, then go out from exit 1. Go straight around 1 minute or less. Then after you see KB Bank building, you still go straight a little bit and next one you should turn right when you find Kyochon Restaurant (chicken restaurant). And you will find PLEDIS Entertainment.

I found JR advertisement at bus stop. Soooo happy

Birthday ad for my crush wonwoo. 

I found this at bus stop as well. Happiness double >_<

The situation around is quite empty lol

MUST do: taking a pic in front of the building

Bonus : I found this at hapjeong subway station hehe

How to go to Super Junior's Donghae Cafe, Haru and One Day

Hello friends, in this post I will share the information about how to go to Super Junior's Donghae Cafe, which is called "Haru and One Day".

But before, let me tell you a little bit review about Haru and One Day Cafe.
Actually, at first I came to Haru and One Day Cafe because I am a fan of Super Junior and I just want to support Donghae's business. But, after I came to the cafe, it turns out that I really like the cafe. Not only get a warm coffee and delicious cake, but I also get a very nice and cozy atmosphere. Moreover, the cafe is so instagrammable with super cool and modern interiors.

I came on tuesday so it should be haru and tuesday, don't know why it's typo lol ><

so instagrammable wall

You can also buy some souvenirs from this cafe

cozy and comfortable seats 

I super recommend you to come here and hangout with your friends. You can also come to take as many pictures as possible since this cafe is really beautiful. And if you see donghae's instagram, you will know that he often take a pic inside this cafe, so maybe you can recreate the photo by taking pic at the place where Donghae's pic is taken ^^

If I come to Korea again, I will definitely go back to visit this cafe. I wish when I come again later, I can really meet with Donghae in this cafe hehe.... :)

Here is the way you can get there: 

 - Use subway, take Line 2 to go to Seongsu Station.
 - After arrive at Seongsu Station, get out from Exit 4. 
 - From the exit (don't move your body direction), just walk straight for less than a minute (it's really near from the exit).
 - The cafe will be on the left so pay attention to the left side. It is super near from the exit so i'm sure that you won't get lost finding this cafe.

And for your information, Haru and One Day Cafe is located in Seongsu Area. It is the same area where Cube Entertainment and Cube Cafe are located. If you happen to come to Donghae's Cafe, I recommend you to also come to Cube Entertainment and Cube Cafe "20 Space The Mint Universe". I also wrote a post about how to go to cube agency building and cube cafe here.

Experience at SM COEX (buy EXO album, watch EXO Concert Movie at SM theater, hangout with friends)

Do you stan SM entertainment artists such as EXO, DBSK, and Super Junior? If you are one of fans from SM artists and you happen to be in Korea right now, you probably don't wanna miss out the chance to visit a very cool place related with your SM favorite artists.

The place that i mean is SM COEX. Here, you can see many things related with SM artists such as their awards, photos, or the clothes used for their music video recording. Besides, there is also the shop where you can buy music album and official merchandise such as lightstick, photobook, even they also sell official pillow lol >< maybe u can hug it when u sleep hehe :) As for me, i bought EXO "kokobop" album here. They also provide cafe so u can buy drink or cake and just hangout with ur friends here.

they even sell Chanyeol Pillow

And on the very top floor, you can experience watching at SM theater. I tried to watch the movie about EXO concert in that theater once with my friend and it seriously feels like i was watching the "real" concert. Maybe because they provide a very wide screen and a very good sound system, that's why when u come here u should try watch in the theater. Really recommended.

In my opinion, it is the heaven for you who like SM artists so obviously a must visit for u who like SM artists like me.

watch exo concert movie with my friends at SM Theater

How to go to SM COEX:

Use subway, Samseong Station, exit 5 and 6.
