K-Pop Destinations: Jung Yong Hwa's Seoul

CNBlue's Jung Yong Hwa may be the best thing about the drama "Future's Choice." Every time he appears on screen as heir-in-hiding Park Se Joo and flashes that winning smile, viewers are more likely to believe that he is the person Yoon Eun Hye should marry.

If the star of "You're Beautiful" and "Heartstrings" is also your bias, you may be able to visit some of the sites he filmed at the next time you are in Korea.

For example, it's easy enough to visit the school that was featured in his drama "Heartstrings." The Seoul Institute of Art School is where he bicycled with and sat in the park with his co-star Park Shin Hye.  The school campus is located at Gyeonggi-do Ansan-si Danwon-gu Gojan-dong 640. For more information, call +82 31-412-7100 or visit www.seoularts.ac.kr.  

Or you could visit the Miss Lee Café in Insadong, where he and Seohyun, the youngest member of SNSD filmed an episode of "We Got Married." You can sample the jujube latte that Jung Yong Hwa thought tasted like medicine and see if you agree. The cafe is famous for its traditional sweets, such as frozen persimmon, but they also serve tasty lunchboxes. It's in the GS25 Building. Seoul, Jongno-gu, Gwanhoon-dong, 144 St, 2nd Floor
Take the subway to Anguk Station, leave via Exit 6. Walk straight until you saw GS25 on your left, which is the entrance into the shopping district of Insadong. The official website is www.missleecafe.com but its in Korean. 

Your odds of actually seeing Jung Yong Hwa and other members of CNBlue may be greater at his agency FNC Entertainment, which is located at 111, Cheongdam-dong, Gangnam-gu, Even if you never see him there, it's worth checking out this lovely building which recently won a "Beautiful City" award.

Take the Bundang Line subway to Apgujeong Rodeo station, Exit 2. Since it's a long walk, take either bus 140, 240, 362, 3219 or 4212 to the Prima Hotel Station, go left, take your first right and then walk straight through three cross streets. It's on your right.

And as mentioned in a recent K-Pop Destinations article, the KBS studios are where "Future's Choice" is being filmed. Stop by and take a tour.
