BTS (방탄소년단) is currently the most famous Korean boy band in the world. This famous K-Pop group/boy band began rising in popularity around the world in 2018. This was also when they started winning many awards in Korea and abroad. Shortly after, COVID-19 broke out and this stopped fans and people all over the world from traveling to Korea.
But the good news is that now in 2022, most of the world including South Korea has opened their borders and we are now free to travel! So if you are an ARMY in town following in the footsteps of BTS or you simply happen to be visiting Korea and are looking to get your ARMY friends some souvenirs, then continue reading. In this blog post, we’ve compiled all the places that ARMYs must visit in Seoul!
1. Gyeongbokgung Palace (경복궁)
Gyeongbokgung Palace is one of the
historical royal palaces in Seoul where BTS shot their video for “The Tonight
Show Starring Jimmy Fallon” in 2020. BTS wore “Hanbok” which are traditional
Korean clothing and performed one of their songs “Idol (아이돌)”. In addition, BTS also sang Sowoojoo (소우주)
in front of Gyeonghweru (경회루) in Gyeongbokgung Palace.

2. Fairmont Ambassador Seoul Hotel (페어몬트
앰배서터 서울 호텔)

their closing performance for the 2021 Grammy Awards where they performed

visit.

visit this place! You will be amazed by this place where you can find the clothes
that they wore, mics that they used during their concerts, and the trophy that they
