YG Graffiti?? AND Rapper Loco's The Famous Burger - YUM
Authored By:
Recently a few of my program friends and I got to explore some new places with our wonderful program coordinator, Tina! (Tina, we love you so much~!)
For the fellow K-Pop Junkie, you're in for a treat! We visited the YG Entertainment building in the Hapjeong area, and as you probably imagined... it looks exactly like it does on TV! But actually the star of the show was the copious amounts of graffiti right across from the building. - Not what you expected, right?
YG houses some of Korea's biggest artists including Big Bang, Winner, IKON, Blackpink, and even more! Some really lucky fans have camped out here all day and actually seen artists come out of or return to the building -- LUCKY! YG staff could potentially ask you to leave though... so be prepared to camp out inside the convenience store across the street and indulge on some famous Korean snacks, my favorite is the Banana Milk ~~ It's a must try!
Our next stop was Loco's (Show Me the Money Season 1 Champion and popular AOMG label rapper) restaurant -The Famous Burger!
If you're craving American style burger and fries at an American style (EXPENSIVE) price... be ready to stand in line because half of Seoul feels the same way! The design reminded me of an American style diner, maybe a mega classy Steak-n-Shake?!
The food was seriously delicious, and it's so cool to visit a place that celebrities frequent... maybe one day we will get lucky and spot them there!
Another plus about this place was the music! If you're into Korean or American hip hop you will love it because they have an interesting playlist that gives you the best of both worlds!
Thanks for joining me on this new journey ~ I'll see you at the next stop! :)
