I would move Myeongdong (in the evening) or Hongdae up, they were my favourite experiences and worth going to multiple times.

Also, Insadong is worth checking out.

If you don't plan on hiking Namsan tower, I'd combine it with myeongdong, they are close to each other. I just did the cable car too Namsan tower and it took about 2 hours to go up and back (walking from myeongdong)

just came back, really like naksan park and the Seoul city wall. bonus if you can go at night.

Yeoidu park for picnic is really an eye opener. the picnic culture is amazing

I'd highly recommend doing the bike path in the park along the han river. It was like less than 5000 won to rent a bike for an hour and it was just an awesome experience. The bike lanes are wide and run right along the park so you don't have to worry about cars or pedestrians and it's a really great way to get some light exercise in and see a lot of the park you otherwise wouldn't. Maybe pair it with a little chimaek before/after but that's up to you:)

I would recommend starting somewhere near the middle/off the train and riding however far you'd like up one side. I think we started near yeouido hangang delivery zone 3?This way since we had to return anyway to drop the bikes off we were back near the station. But obviously this way you'd only see half and there are rental posts all along so I'd say ask yourself how long you want to go for and how much of the park you want to see. We did 30 minutes in one direction and it felt like we barely put a dent in it.

They did ask for my partners korean id to hold onto but I saw other tourists renting them as well. So they may ask for something as collateral to make sure you return with them lol.

Will rain affect any of this? I think it’s raining this weekend

Might be worth asking /r/Kpop or check out /r/koreatravel for ideas.

I like k-pop and went to South Korea, but I didn't go there just because of that. It's like someone going to Japan because they like anime—You will see and hear it in stores, markets and everywhere, but it's not like going to a convention or a concert.

There's tons to see in SK (I loved visiting historical/cultural sites and did a few hikes too), but figure out what interests you the most and plan an itinerary that way.

You could visit places featured in their music videos or their vlogs. Try Korean food they like. And there are some shops specialized in Kpop merch. Other than that, if you're into idol photo cards and 탑꾸 (=toploader decorating), shops in Hongdae have a wide selection of stickers and everything you'd need. And my friend who frequently visits Japan on business trips told me that he always sees at least one Kpop idol group onboard the planes flying between Gimpo to Haneda airports. I've also encountered a group of fangirls lined up in Gimpo airport to get a glimpse of their oppas. So, if you could get your hands on their flight schedules, and are lucky, you might be able to meet your favorite Kpop stars at Gimpo airport.

I went to South Korea. Am somewhat of a Twice fan. Be prepared to be underwhelmed Kpop wise. It just doesn't seem to be a thing for most adults there. Instead, enjoy the many other wonders that South Korea has to offer!

Ask a kpop sub or Korea travel sub. I'd want to visit one of the big 3/4 company building, like jyp cafeteria

War memorial of Korea.

Beautiful!I also want to go to Korea for treavel!

Great that you enjoyed it!

On the trains, not sure I'd agree with you completely...the KTX gets you from across the country e.g. Seoul to Busan in just 2h. That's pretty fast. It's not quite the Shinkansen but certainly not far either.

Thank you for sharing. Some of us dream about going to places and see stuff but never get through chance. You made my day better. Thank you :)

I hope you had a nice time in there :)

Mind dropping your itinerary OP? I’m going to go this year and it looks like you covered a lot of ground!

You packed a lot into one week!

My family went to Jangdo early in the morning when there was no one else around. They didn't have the railings on the path at that point (2017), and I don't think much of the art stuff was there yet, either. It was just a really cool morning walk. Definitely memorable.

Hyangiram hermitage in Yeosu is worth a visit, if you're good with stairs!

Yeosu is great, can't get over the "big O show".

Thank you for your efforts 🙏🏼

Thanks for sharing these!

Thank you so much! :)

Seoul Forest and nearby area (Seongsu-dong), Samcheongdong, Hyehwadong, Yeonnamdong Garosugil

What do you enjoy?

Invest one day and go hiking/walking along the Seoul Fortress. You’ll discover the city thoroughly. Every aspect of it, old and new, peace and war, rich and ordinary, natural and artificial. Don’t forget to bring your ID because you need it to enter the militarized zone on the northern area.

Id go Bukchon Hanok Village, Insadong and Gyeongbukjung and maybe N Seoul Tower of got time at night

I recommend going Han River park. Especially, Banpo Han river park is great :>

yo get a bulgogi burger at Lotteria and call it a day. Your entire Korea trip will be worth it just because of that one burger

In addition to the big palaces the National Museum has a lot of great artifacts.

Either Gyeongbokgung or Changdeokgung palace. Gyeongbokgung is connected to a folk museum and Changdeokgung has the secret garden (which you have to book a tour for separately).

I'm not sure there's a must-do in Seoul. But here's a list of things.

Bike ride and picnic along the river might be nice before a flight.

Maybe do a cooking class or some other fun workshop

Wow. Thank you! I’m planning my first trip to Korea (Seoul + Jeju), and this will be so, so useful.

I’m also exploring your top 80 things to do in Seoul 🤗

After over a month working on this, I finally finished the post. I added a Kakao map for travelers to use to either quickly find these places OR search for things near them to add to their itineraries. There's instructions at the end of the 10 billion word post.

Please let me know if you enjoy it or if you see any broken links or discrepancies. I tried to triple check, but with a post this big, something always slips by.

This is a fantastic source, thanks a lot. Saved this post for later reference.

Looks like I'll be crossing off about 5 of these on my trip next month ^^

Thanks, great resource!
