Seoul Forest, a place for resting amongst nature in the city, is divided into four themes: Culture & Art Park, Eco Forest, Experiential Learning Park, and Marsh Plants Gardens. Among these parks, the Culture & Art Park sits in the deepest part of the forest, and at the entrance to the Ginkgo Tree Forest is BTS’ RM Bench.

A tasty restaurant that captivated the appetites of V, Jin, and Jimin

Love Your BTS & Seoul! Seoul Travels for ARMY

This restaurant that is known to have been visited by V, Jin, and Jimin has also been frequented by other celebrities as a popular restaurant in Cheongdam. Unlike other common jokbal (pig’s trotter) restaurants, Dosan Jokbal has a classical interior design like that of a wine bar or an Italian restaurant. Dishes that the members ordered are the bossam (vegetable wraps with pork), kalguksu (noodle soup), and gogi mandu (meat dumplings).

The simple, refreshing bossam with the fat removed and the spicy but cool kimchi are the perfect combination. Enjoy that with the rich broth of kalguksu for a clean finish to the meal. Unique dishes like the fried jokbal with a crunchy outside and soft inside and the salad-style, mango jokbal with fresh mangoes and vegetables are also popular.

Beat Phobia is an escape room café that was visited by members Jin and Jimin. “Escape room” is a game in which players break out of a closed room by solving problems within the given amount of time. This game is so popular that it even has its own fanbase. Beat Phobia (Sinnonhyeon Branch) has eight themed rooms with six different game themes from which visitors can choose.

The most popular themes are “White Day” and “Love Maker.” “Love Maker” is an easy-level game that even beginners can enjoy. Before starting the game, participants receive a guide on the precautions and regulations, and because Beat Phobia is commonly visited by foreigners, there is an English manual available at the café.
