Seoul/Metropolitan Area

Ceramic Cafe JOOL

From BLACKPINK's agency “YG Entertainment” to music video and reality program filming locations, we will guide you to places that will satisfy BLACKPINK's fandom, “BLINK.”

Danha

Traditional hanbok with a modern touch

BLACKPINK's “HOW YOU LIKE THAT” music video created a sensation, reaching 100 million views within 32 hours of its release. The most noteworthy part of the music video was the hanbok they wore. Danha, which was in charge of making the costumes, improved the traditional hanbok and completely recreated it as a stage costume, garnering attention from all over the world. Danha is famous for designing hanboks using traditional patterns. The patterns engraved on the clothes in the BLACKPINK music video used the phoenix design pattern of the royal cloth. Danha's hanbok can be purchased through the online shop, and if you want to have it custom-made, you can visit Danha Maison after making a reservation.

PETERPAN 1978

The bakery Jennie found in Yeonhui-dong

Jennie found it on YouTube during her bread tour in Yeonhui-dong. Since opening in 1978, it has been in the same place for over 40 years. There are many delicious breads such as the signature bread “Baby Buttocks” and “Sweet Red Bean Bread 1978,” which has kept the same flavor since 1978. There are many breads that give off a deep flavor when you take a bite, but the “Potato Bread” recommended by JENNIE is particularly savory for its fluffy texture.

Ceramic Cafe JOOL

The ceramics atelier where JISOO and ROSÉ made pottery

This is the workshop where Jisoo and Rosé visited and made pottery in BLACKPINK's exclusive reality content 24/365 with BLACKPINK. Through the one-day class, you can draw a picture on a mug or make your own pottery by hand. Depending on the class, you can start from the basics and learn how to make ceramics step by step. You can choose the design you want. If you immerse yourself into making ceramics, you will have great fun even if you are clumsy. Just touching the moist clay dough has the effect of relieving daily stress.

SANRIO LOVERS CLUB

Accommodation in BLACKPINK HOUSE

In the past, it was a Hello Kitty cafe, but it was renovated and used as accommodation when BLACKPINK's first reality content, BLACKPINK HOUSE, was filmed. Currently, it is operated as an exhibition experience and cafe for Sanrio characters. Inside and outside the two-story building in pastel colors, there are lots of lovely Sanrio characters such as HELLO KITTY, MY MELODY, and POMPOMPURIN. You must make a reservation in advance to enter the cafe on the second floor. You can visit and purchase items at the MD shop on the first floor without a separate reservation.

YG Entertainment + the SameE

BLACKPINK's home

YG is the agency of BLACKPINK, WINNER, iKON, and TREASURE. As one of Korea's top three entertainment companies, it built an office building with five basement floors and nine floors above ground, 10 times larger than the previous building located right next to it. Across the street, the sameE is a project space for fans, with a cafe, MD shop, and event/exhibition facilities. It's good to wait for the idol you want to see while looking at the new building from the second floor of the cafe. Posters of artists belonging to YG Entertainment are displayed along the walls of the stairs, and the first basement floor is an MD shop. There is also a board corner where you can write a message for the artist and post it.

Kyung Hee University Global Campus Outdoor Theater

The filming location for “AS IF IT'S YOUR LAST” Music Video

In the “AS IF IT'S YOUR LAST” music video, the place filled with pink lights symbolizing BLACKPINK arouses curiosity. The open-air theater at Kyung Hee University Global Campus, where the music video was filmed, is a large outdoor theater that can accommodate about 6,500 people. The majestic building and seats make it look like an ancient Greek temple. It is said to have been built based on the actual Theater of Dionysus in the 6th century B.C. There is a lake behind the theater, so it is a good place to take a walk.
