We still have one more day to explore Seoul. Therefore, we need to endure our aching feet for a few more hours. So here's another lengthy post from our last day in the beautiful country of South Korea. Be ready for the photo dump though :)




We had the perfect weather for this day's itinerary. We are returning to Manila the next day so this is our only chance to explore the remaining landmarks of Seoul that we haven't set foot on.

Bukchon Hanok Village was our first stop.

Crossing this road from Insadong to Bukchon.

Bukchon Hanok village, surrounded by Seoul's famous landmarks, shelters hundreds of traditional Korean houses called "hanok" which are either residential homes, guesthouses, restaurants, tea houses or shops. If you have watched Lee Min Ho and Seon Ye Jin's Korean drama series Personal Taste, this village was also one of their filming location. Too bad, we weren't able to stroll around the actual site as we got giddy when we saw a YG shop at Samcheongdong.

A good background for 'models'

Anybody here?

Hanok everywhere

Not sure if this is still Bukchon or these are houses and establishments from Samcheongdong.

Are these plum blossoms? Seriously, in autumn? Nah! This is just a fake tree.

Appa gom, eomma gom, aegi gom. Adorable bear figurines from a jewelry store.

I actually thought that the YG shop we saw at Bukchon's 'observatory, is still part of the village I only realized that we are already in Samcheongdong, home to distinctive cafés, shops, and galleries, when I saw a beauty vlogger Youtube video about her tour in South Korea.

Got tired from the 'hiking' and walking downhill

Annyeong oppa! Kekekekeke

Feeding my coffee addiction.

It was a long walk from Bukchon to Samcheongdong but we enjoyed the scenic views of different cafes and artsy shops along the way.

Finally, we arrived in Moonshot. I got giddy as usual over their products because these are endorsed by YG royalties. I did not buy any cosmetics, though, because it was too pricey. But my friend bought some after their friendly staff did a makeover on her.

Smellin' like GDragon

The lower ground of the shop are for cosmetics. While the second level serves as a merchandise shop for YG artists. Concert goods from BigBang, 2NE1, Winner, IKon etc were all over.

I personally like this BIGBANG Krunk set.

After taking photos and selfies at the shop, we headed to K-Style hub in Cheonggyecheon. The five-floored building of K-Style Hub is consist of different halls. These halls has the information to meet all tourists' needs, from a tourist information center to a Hallyu experience, Hansik exhibition and experience hall, medical tourism information and more. Aside from these, K-Style Hub also aims to provide various chances to learn about Korean culture and food, as well as easily participate in traditional experiences


We also had our lunch at their canteen. Their menu are 'healthy'.  So if you are a vegetarian, you will surely enjoy these food.

Healthy bibimbap. Instead of gochujang, the sauce included was I think a mix of tofu and doenjang.

We instantly became vegetarian for an hour. Hahahahaha

We were told that these snacks were originally served for the royalties. I just forgot what this is called.

Before our trip to Korea, I saw a post that K-Style hub is offering free Hanbok use for an hour on tourists visiting their office for a period of time. This is the reason why we dropped by their office. And we never thought that we would end up enjoying the whole K-Style experience.

Ticked off my bucketlist because I finally got to wear a hanbok!

They have traditional Korean dresses for kids, women and men as well.

We were allowed to wear only one dress for the span of an hour but I changed twice. We were also allowed to go outside and do some photo shoot but we opted to stay in the building because it was humid outside.

Other than the hanbok experience, you can also interact with KPop stars through their holograms. I'm glad my ultimate bias, Big Bang is one of the features and I got to take tons of photos with them non-stop.

Big Bang standees for unlimited photoshoot.

Aside from these, we also got the chance to design our own flower frames. The K-Style management also conducted a free workshop so we did not miss it as well.

Let's get it on!

The famous Cheonggyecheon stream is also just across the street.  Hence, we had a quick stroll before going to our next location.
