The half-day BTS ARMY tour was truly enjoyable and much appreciated. Our tour guide, Rachel, was incredibly sweet, friendly, and knowledgeable, which made the experience even more special. She also arranged a very comfortable ride for our small group, making the tour smooth and relaxing. We had the chance to visit several meaningful places connected to BTS, including spots the members used to frequent when they were still trainees, and of course the HYBE office. For any ARMY visiting Seoul, this tour is a wonderful way to see these memorable locations and feel a deeper connection to BTS’s journey.

I only wanted it for 48 hours, and I only had a physical card. When I arrived at the airport, the exchange store was already closed. The next day, I had to take a bus back to the airport to pick it up, and I also took care of my SES application. In 48 hours (three days), I visited N Seoul Tower, Hanboknam Bukchon Hanok Village Store, Sea Life Coex Aquarium, and Lotte World. Even though I went to Lotte World on a Friday, it was still very crowded. It took 1.5 hours to queue for just one ride, which was incredibly frustrating. I later found out that Korean children were on winter break. I highly recommend visiting the Sea Life Coex Aquarium; you can spend 1.5-2 hours there. I had originally planned to visit the Seoul Sky Observatory, but when I got there, I found out the ticket was only 10% off. I had researched it and then put it aside, not checking again before my trip, so I had to give up on that attraction and went to Lotte Mart instead.

GS25 convenience store products are an excellent option for a quick and flavorful meal. The Budae Jjigae ramen and instant stew packs offer a satisfying and spicy Korean taste that's easy to prepare. The noodles cook quickly, and the broth base boasts a savory flavor with a hint of the sausage and spices characteristic of Korean army stew. These products are incredibly convenient for busy individuals who want a fast meal without much fuss. The packaging is practical and easy to store. Overall, GS25 products excel in taste and convenience, providing great value for everyday meals. 👍🍜
