Seoul World Cup Stadium Tour

Watching football is great. Especially when you watch it live at the football stadium. You can feel the euphoria and the energy from players and supporters there. If you come to Korea, there is a football stadium that I want to recommend to you if you want to experience watching football in Korea. Yes, it is Seoul World Cup Stadium, also known as Sangam Stadium, which is located in Mapo-gu, Seoul. 

Seoul World Cup Stadium is the second largest Stadium in South Korea. This stadium has its historical value because it was first built for 2002 World Cup, which means a lot for South Korean People, especially because at that time the South Korean football team made it to the semifinal. Besides, as for the facilities, in my opinion, this stadium is really huge, very clean, and very organized. The seats are very comfortable and overall, the facilities are also well-maintained. 

If you are a football fan, you will be happy because this stadium is also a headquarter of FC Seoul, one of well-known football clubs in Korea. Some of FC Seoul matches are held in this stadium. As an international fans, you can buy the ticket directly at the stadium ticket counter or at fcseoul.com or interpark.com websites (you can see the price on that website). However, if there is no match at the time, you can still visit and have a tour around the stadium, just go buy ticket directly at the counter. The price of the entrance ticket for a tour around stadium was really cheap (only KRW 1.000 per person). Some of you who are not a fan of football may also visit this stadium for a Kpop concert. 

To go there, I think the easiest way is to go by subway, then you can get off at World Cup Stadium station. From there you can just walk to reach the stadium. 

I myself have two experiences going to this stadium. First, I went to visit and have a tour around the stadium, then the second experience is when I went here to watch the Dream Concert. Really sad because I never experienced watching football here. But I will surely come again to watch football match here and to meet our one and only Maknae Hyung, Lee Kang In :)

Here are some photos from my trip at Seoul World Cup Stadium:

How to Go to COEX Starfield Library

It's not difficult to find good library in Seoul. I believe you can find tons of amazing libraries in Seoul. Even when you go to university library, it is also great, comfortable, and instagrammable. Today in this episode of blog, I want to share about one of must-visit libraries in Seoul. Yep, it is Starfield Library which is located inside COEX Mall.

The easiest way to go here based on my experience is by taking subway. You guys can get on subway Line 2 (Green Line) and get off at Samseong Station Exit 6. From there, you guys can just easily enter Coex Mall. Then you will find the library inside the mall (it's not hard to find the library because the library is super big and it's like the center of the mall). 

Starfield Library is super beautiful and super comfortable. For you guys who want to read books or magazines here, it's definitely your place. I believe you will enjoy your time reading in library. However, most of books are in Korean, so maybe if you guys can understand Korean, that would be great to read here. I forgot whether there are books available in english or not. But as I remember, I thought I found one or two magazine in English. Anyway, just go there, I hope you guys can find an interesting book for you to read.

But, if you just have a short time to visit, don't worry, this place also open for you guys even if you don't read a book, you guys can just sit here and enjoy the ambiences. Or maybe for tourist like me who want to take pictures, you guys can also take pictures here because the place is super super super pretty and instagrammable. But don't be noisy, so you guys won't disturb other visitors^^. And the last but not least, sometimes there are events held in this library, so you can also attend the event took place there. 

Here are the photos of me having fun visiting COEX Starfield Library:

Super happy, I found magazine with Sungjae in its cover

Great article 

Happy expression, because of library and sungjae lol

Conclusion, amazing library :)

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.

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.
