    Seungkwan, the main vocalist and singer-songwriter of the boy group Seventeen, was born in Jeju Island. Known as “Mr. Boo” and “Boo Seungkwan” on TV, he invites us to explore Jeju through locations such as the filming site of his mini-concert and ice cream ad <Bravo Cone CF>, and Hyeopjae Beach, where Seventeen expressed love for their fans.

     

    Secret Forest

     

    In the full version of the <Bravo Cone CF>, the first scene shows Seungkwan closing his eyes to feel the green forest.    
    Scenes of Boo band members jumping behind Seugkwan on a flower field as well as the band members walking in the forest is also a refreshing cut.    
    Andol Oreum Secret Forest, true to its name, is a hidden gem.    
    Even though the natural forest doesn't have any bathrooms, it is a popular snapshot location always full of people.    
    A trail from the forest to the meadow and cypress tree forest is full of photo zones with a mint-colored trailer being the most popular.

    The song “Love Letter” sent to their fan club, called Carats, contains beautiful love story.
