K Star Road is a popular spot where Hallyu stars frequent and is home to South Korea’s top entertainment agencies, including SM Entertainment, Big Hit Entertainment, Cube Entertainment, JYP Entertainment, and FNC Entertainment. The street features adorable statues of K-pop stars like PSY, TVXQ, Shinee, EXO, BTS, and 4minute, along with vibrant street art. Exploring Gangnam with K Road will make your trip extra special and memorable for Hallyu fans.

SM Entertainment launched SM Town Coex Artium in January 2015. This is a must-visit for K-Pop and SM Entertainment enthusiasts. The SM Town Coex Artium is a versatile cultural space that includes a souvenir shop, studio, café (SMTOWN POP-UP Cafe), and a K-pop theater. It also boasts a large Panavision screen where visitors can enjoy a mix of holographic and live performances.

Garosu-gil Road, a ginkgo tree-lined street running from Sinsa Station (Subway Line 3) to Hyeondae High School, is a trendy and upscale area in Seoul. Known as ‘artists’ street,’ it has a unique charm with its beautifully decorated coffee shops and designer stores. Garosu-gil is especially popular in autumn when the leaves begin to fall.

Regardless of the weather, Gangnam Underground Shopping Street is a top attraction for shopping and relaxation. You can find a variety of items such as clothes, shoes, and bags at reasonable prices!

Great day, great guide! - We had a wonderful day with Brian as our tour guide! He was an excellent guide and very informative, flexible, and attentive to our needs and wishes. I am a big k-pop fan so he took us to some great places in Gangnam area - the floating islands, K-star road, BTS early hangouts, including the restaurant they went to as trainees, their dorm, the old Big Hit building, and a special place where V did a little video. Plus we got to go to the CoEx mall and even see the Lotte tower! We enjoyed learning more about the history and culture of the area as well. He knows the area well. The day moved at a quick pace but then we saw lots of places. Great day and great guide!

Brian is the King of Gangnam tours! - We had the absolute best time with Brian. We were able to see so many things. I am a BTS fan and this ticked all the boxes from their old dorm, old Big Hit, to their favorite restaurants while trainees. Brian was informative and even took us to a secret spot. Thanks Brian. Hope to see you again.

PERFECT - It was a beautiful and interesting day trip for us. We liked to walk on the Gangnam Street and on the K-Star Road, but most interesting was at the Gangnam Tourist Information Center where we learned to do ourselves make-up. We had fun with Jay, our guide, trying games to the Samsung D'light. It was impressive experiencing the future technology!Jay is a nice guy, smart and polite, he gave us informations throughout the day, accompanied us and helped us to make all desired pictures, had patience to do a small tour through Coex –Mall and he left us with the impression that we are close friends.It was a wonderful day with unforgettable memories!Sonia

Great Tour Guide - I had the pleasure of being escorted by Brian on the Hallyu tour. It was a full day tour and he was polite, attentive and accommodating throughout the day. I mentioned that I am a BTS fan and he changed the lunch location to a place where the Bangtan boys often ate while training. Fun!
