Things to do in Sungnyemun Gate

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.

This time, Teacher Kim Yu Jeong conducted our color test. My mom and I don't understand much Korean, so we arranged for a Chinese translator (I heard there's a Cantonese translator before 4 PM!). This time, I found the colors that suit me best. Personally, I think the most useful part was the makeup choices and hair/nail colors 🤤💕. I would recommend friends to come and try it!

Namsan tower was a nice outing. redeeming the tickets was very easy, it only took a minute to scan the QR code and enter the tower. I would definitely use Klook again to book my tickets!

Eddie is a fantastic guide! His first-hand experience at the DMZ added a layer of depth you won't find on a standard tour. He was full of fascinating details, yet gave us ample time to explore and take photos at our own pace. If you're looking for an educational and well-organized DMZ experience, this is the one to book!

So good! Going up this tower is really worth it; the view is magnificent, there's food available, a photo booth, souvenirs to buy, and you can enjoy the view (even from the restrooms)! We bought our tickets on Klook because it was cheaper; you just scan the QR code to get the right one, very easy to do.

This was the most anticipated part of our trip to Korea. JiEun was very patient and explained everything in great detail, giving us a new understanding of colors. 😂 She even recommended cosmetics at the end, highly recommended!

Visiting N Seoul Tower in Seoul was amazing! The views from the top are absolutely breathtaking — you can see the whole city of Seoul stretched out below. The tower really gives you that iconic K-drama feeling, making it a must-see for anyone visiting South Korea. It’s a perfect spot for photos, sightseeing, and just enjoying the cityscape. Highly recommend this experience for first-time visitors and K-drama fans alike!
