South Korea is actually my favorite travel destination in this world. This interesting place showcases a healthy mixture of old and new culture, East meets West, fast- paced vs cozy ambience, progressive transportation and other social amenities for solo tourists like me. Lastly, it is every fangurhl’s wonderland for Kpop, Kdrama, beauty, food, and trendy fashion and lifestyle.❄️🌸🌷😊💜

Hongdae has a lot of savory cuisines to offer from local to Japanese, Thai, Western or fusion. I tried this Japanese resto for dinner because of its cozy ambience and large tasty scallops.

I witnessed snowfall for the 1st time when I was about to leave the hostel. Quite a pleasant surprise and a dream come true for a tropical local like me.🌨❄️☃️🧣💜

Walked about 2-3 kilometers under my 1st snowfall experience just to find this GM flagship store in Hongdae. I loved their shop’s artistic concept.

This is the downside of being single. You cannot finish eating their solo dragon’s leg meal because it is extremely huge and will choke you to death. You must enjoy this Harry Potter-themed cafe with other avid fans.🧙🏻‍♂️🔮🏰

I was just passing by en route to CGV Hongdae when this cafe suddenly caught me by surprise. It’s J-Hope’s cupsleeve event. I was caffeine overdosed that day because I can’t resist staying there for a while and mingle with other BTS ARMY.💜☕️🎂🎉🎁🎈

Best Starbucks in the world for me. Sipping hot caramel macchiato paired with a burnt cheesecake on a melancholic snowy afternoon was a perfect magical moment you’ll never forget☕️🍮❄️☃️💜
