Last but not least the place that I get chance to visit is Gangman area, like Psy popular song “Gangnam Style”. Gangnam area is the richer and modern area in Seoul, Korea. There have a lot of brand shops and café, like Jeajoong from JYJ. But I not have chance yet to visit Jaejoong Café, which is “Coffee Cojjee”. I will visit there soon; include the JYP Entertainment and Cube Entertainment.

 A lot of Korean artists was open their shop around Gangnam's area but Gangnam's area quite big for me and it’s difficult to found their shop without any sign or direction. Most shops that I want to visit next time are “Coffee Cojjee” own by Kim Jaejoong from JYJ, “Grill 5 taco” own by Super Junior’s DongHae, “Banjudam” own by SS501’s Park Jungmin, “Bum’s Story” own by JYJ’s Kim Jaejoong; “MicKiss” and “TimeOut” own by JYJ’s Yoochun.

Kona Beans café 

When we walking around Gangnam area, after take dinner – we found the café that own by the mothers of Super Junior’s Leeteuk, Sungmin and Kyunhyun; which are “Kona Beans”. I just take a few pictures in front of the café, because we late… I think, now “Kona Beans” have a lot branches in Seoul, Korea; so if you are lucky, you will see the some of their branches.

Me with Iffa inside the train at Seoul, Korea 

Now, I want to share my second round 미치Go Vacation with Iffa!!!!! Hahaha~ I feel so excited to tell the story about my vacation with her... I was going to Seoul again??!! 

Actually, this time is my second times go to Seoul, Korea within 1 year in year 2013; but this time more amazing and wonderful memories to me. These vacations take 5 days and 4 nights as free and easy travelers, it starts on 30 August 2013 until 3 September 2013. Everything was happening during 미치Go Vacation Round Two was unexpected as I called lucky vacation too. Actually, we make confirm last minutes to do this vacation together. I want to stay more days during this vacation but I working so it’s difficult to me for take long vacation.

Even though, this vacation is only 5 days at Seoul, Korea but it’s the amazing and awesome vacation ever in my life!! I can say this vacation is YGE Tours too, because among all places that I was visited are related to YG Entertainment (YGE). Actually, this vacation already pass on 6 months ago, but all the memories of this vacation is still fresh in my mind until today.. (^_^) 

I would like to BIG THANKS to my friend-Iffa, because she is my BEST friend and also my awesome tour guide during this vacation. She takes me all the places that YGE fans must visited during on vacation at Seoul, Korea.

Let’s me tell the stories of my awesome vacation with my BEST friend-Iffa~ (^_^)

But~ Where should I start this story?~ Hihihi~

Building~ YG Entertainment??!!!~

YG Entertainment Building on night view

Okay~ I start my stories with YG Entertainment Building~ I think the most favorite place of YGE fans are YG Entertainment Building. For me~ Yes!! All YGE fans must visit YG Entertainment Building when get chance holiday at Seoul, Korea. I was so happy when first time I saw YG Entertainment Building, because I’m is BIG fan of BIG BANG!! (P/S: I almost was crying when I saw YG Entertainment Building just in front of me. I feel so wonderful on that day.)

Seoul subway route map

Incheon International Airporrt Station

We was arrive at Incheon International Airport around on 4:40 pm (Korea time), then we take subway from Incheon International Airport to Seoul. This is my first time used the subway at Seoul, Korea. Even, when we look at the Seoul subway route map; its look so confuse but it’s easy to ride subway at Seoul for traveler as free and easy.

Ticket machine’s subway

My opinion when I ride subway is its friendly user, even when I bought the ticket train from ticket machine. Just follow the instruction on the ticket machine for buy the train ticket. For foreigner tourists, who don’t know and understand Korean words – you guys don’t have to worry because among subway ticket machines have English language; and inside the train also their announcement the station’s name in other languages, for example are English and Japanese. So, just need to take attention when their make announcement of station’s name because when you not take attention, you will miss the station that you want to go. Sometimes we also lost at Seoul too. Hahaha~

YG Entertainment Building on day view

We stay at guesthouse and our guesthouse is pretty close with YG Entertainment Building. We have to walk pass by YG Entertainment to go our guesthouse; so every time we want to go out - we must walk in front of YG Entertainment Building. I feel so happy when we walking in front of YG Entertainment because that the place of my favorite artists working every time. 

I do the “Hwangssabu Rules” at in front of YG Entertainment

I also get chance to take picture in front of YG Entertainment and I do the “Hwangssabu Rules” too, in front of YG Entertainment. Hahahaha~ so funny but its fun too!!! Hahaha~

Me with Iffa at in front of YG Entertainment

I also got chance saw YGE artists, when I visited YG Entertainment. Among the YGE artists that I saw are Dong Youngbae (Taeyang from BIG BANG), LeeHi, and Jennie. I also meet YGE dancers too. This so fun and enjoy in my life, plus I can say that my dream come true!!! Finally!!!!!

Here, the direction to go YG Entertainment Building – I hope its help a lot of YGE fans. (^_^)

Hapjeong Station

First, take the subway Line 2 (Green), and then off at Hapjeong Station, exit 8. (P/S: be careful about the exit way, because it will take long journey when you go out the wrong exit at subway station.) When off the exit 8, just walking straight until you’ll see a gas station right of outside the exit 8. Just keep walking straight until you will see the Hotel Circle on your right side, then you walk along the road until you see a junction, you need to cross it, after that you’ll see a “Coffee & Beer” café. Just follow the path, it’ll lead you to another junction, then turn to your right and keep walking along the path. 

After that, look carefully at in front of you; the YG Entertainment Building is already visible from that point. You need to cross the road, and walking pass the “Prouod” apartment – the YG Entertainment Building is right there, in front of G25 Mini Mart.

Me at G-Dragon 2013 1st World Tour Concert the Final: One of a Kind Live in Seoul, Korea

Now, time I tell the stories about the BIG reasons I was goes to Seoul, Korea for 2 times in year 2013. That because of G-Dragon 2013 1st World Tour Concert the Final: One of a Kind Live in Seoul, Korea!! I was dream to watch K-Pop concert in Seoul, Korea because I want to feel the feeling when watch the concert in Seoul, Korea. I know the feeling was so different between when I watch K-Pop concert in Malaysia and Seoul, Korea.

On the concert day, the organizer was open sale some of ticket concert on that day, but only we can buy ticket concert on that day only. They not open sales for other concert’s day. Plus, the ticket price in Seoul is more cheaper compare to ticket price in Malaysia. 

VIPs Fans was take long queue for buy the ticket concert on the concert day

Among the merchandises of G-Dragon 2013 1st World Tour Concert the Final: One of a Kind Live in Seoul, Korea that we bought.

For me, it’s petty shock when I saw fans already long queue for buy the concert merchandises before their open to sale the concert merchandises. She told me that it’s normal in Seoul, Korea during concert day. When we take queue for bought the concert ticket, we can leave our bag at the ticket concert queue for bought the concert merchandises because this country is safe to do that, so nobody will cut our queue even we take long queue for bought concert’s merchandises.

VIPs Fans was watching the video of G-Dragon on the big screen LED TV at outside the stadium

There also have big screen LED TV for fans watch videos of G-Dragon before fans going inside to the stadium. Everything during outside the stadium so fun and enjoy. It’s so different during concert in Malaysia.

She was introduced me with other her friends or as known as VIPs from other countries, which come to Seoul, Korea for watching G-Dragon concert. I also got friends from Japan, or know as Japan VIPs. It’s so fun when we can meet other VIPs from different countries on this concert. Even, we just know each other during the concert but we chit chat like we already close and know each other’s for long time ago. That is the beautiful part when I was going concert in Seoul, Korea.
