I have been to quite a few restaurants and cafes opened by the Korean idols and celebrities. Haha, Kim Hyun Joong's store is actually one of the few Kpop idols' restaurants where I saw more local Koreans than overseas fans when I arrived. I believed that the food should be catered to Koreans. Anyway, it is quite a good place for friends to chill out and have a beer. (not for proper dinner though)

For those people who wish to visit Super Junior's radio show Kiss radio, it is very easy to go and you do not have make any booking or pay any kind of entrance fee. Currently, this show is hosted by Sungmin and Ryeowook. Basically, you would be looking through a glass window, you could see both Ryeowook and Sungmin hosting the program. Yes, you could see them in person, not only listen to their voices only. I actually meet another Korea band ZEA as they are special guests. Too good to be true~~~I basically reached there one hour before the show started

Tip: If you don't feel embarrassed, you could actually bring along a stool to stand on if you are too short. I was blocked by all the fans standing in front of me.

It is very easy to go to Super Junior Yesung parents cafe Hansel and Gretel. It is around 10 minutes walk from the subway National Assembly. And furthermore, E.L.F could also visit Super Junior's radio show Kiss radio as his cafe is just opposite KBS building.

There are a lot of Super Junior and Yesung's photos around. I also saw Yesung's very cute brother Jongjin. He is very helpful and knows how to speak a little bit English. He actually help us to find a seat as the whole cafe is actually fully occupied. So overseas friends have no worries. The whole cafe actually is occupied by fans from all over the world, taiwan, china, japanese etc. All of the staff know how to speak basic English. Not to mention the food over there is very affordable even for students. For the detail direction, please click Read More for directions...

I ordered an ice mocha and a chicken breast sandwich which cost around 8000 - 9000 won. The mocha is nice but the chicken sandwich taste more like bacon sandwich. But anyway, I still managed to finish it. After that, we also visit sungmin and ryeowook's kiss radio show at KBS building.

Jihachul - A must-have app before you go to Korea

Tuesday, June 26, 2012 · Posted in , , ,

For anyone who wishes to plan their vacation in Korea, I will strongly recommend all of you to download an free app called Jihachul. I never heard of this app until my hostel's owner recommended me to download this mobile app.

It contains the subway route maps in Korea and also calculates how long it takes to travel from one station to another. It would be much easier for me plan for my itinerary if I have heard of this application before I went to Korea. It has both android and Mac version and very easy to use. All the station's name are in English.
