    Any BTS filming location becomes a pilgrimage to the fans of BTS, or the ARMY. Wanju, a lesser known region of Korea, is one such location that had the opportunity to present its beauty to the world through BTS’ 2019 Summer Package in Korea video and photobook. The BTS merch featured the beauty of Korea through gorgeous hanok scenery, RM in a modern hanbok and Jimin sitting on the wooden maru of the hanok. Wanju is a rural city that is embraced by nature with mountains in the east and a river in the west. Visit Wanju to discover the beauty of pristine nature and authentic hanok while following the traces of BTS.
