Seoul II: Day 4: The Hunt for Woollim Entertainment

Its finally time to hunt down Woollim Entertainment! We were honestly mega exhausted after walking around trying to find Big Hit and Jellyfish, but we decided to suck it up and just get it over and done with.

Woollim's directions was fairly easy to follow on the blog we found, or so I thought.

Anyways, to get to Woollim, take the subway to Mapogu-Office Station and exit out of Exit #3.

From there, you'll see a long pathway that seems pretty endless.

#1

From there, just keep walking straight till you bump into a GS25 store. I've learnt that each entertainment has to have a GS25 store nearby.

#2

Once you see the GS25 store, you'll see another long stretch of road up ahead.

#3

There's alot of walking in order to get to Woollim Entertainment. Anyways, just walk straight ahead into this pathway. You'll know you're on the right path if you walk past a petrol station.

#4

Keep walking till you run into some small shops.

#5

When you see these, look out for MOTOR CUBE.

#6

Once you see Motor Cube, turn right after the building, and walk in. Turn LEFT at the first intersection you come across.

#7

From there, you'll be able to spot Woollim's Building from a clear distance. It's pretty hard to miss, since the building is in white and pretty modern.

#8

If you wanna go NIT Coffee, its directly opposite the Entertainment.

#9

We didn't go into the Entertainment cuz I kinda knew Infinite won't be there due to Infinite Effect, so we kinda just slacked in NIT Coffee.

It was pretty empty. I mean seriously empty, the only customers apart from us were 2 other Korean girls so it was pretty ulu.

We ordered some Iced Peach Tea and just chilled for awhile before leaving to meet with the other 2 for dinner.

#10

This random photo was taken because I needed to see the wifi password and I didn't wanna walk over to the counter lawlawl.

Anyways, before we left NIT we saw Daeyeol! You know, Sungyeol's younger brother who is also a trainee in Trollim? Yeah we saw him! Too bad we didn't get a photo of him, his long legs brought him into Trollim in a blink of an eye. Sigh...

Anyways, the directions we followed on the other blog told us to turn right at the first intersection so... don't turn right. We got lost and when we tried to depend on Google maps, it brought us to the Old Woollim Building wtf. So we wasted about half an hour finding Woollim Entertainment because of the wrong directions. Just remember, if the street you're going in goes uphill, you're heading the wrong place.

Anyways, we left to meet up at Hapjeong Station and went off to find dinner at the Wara Wara Bar.

#11 Look who we saw at Hapjeong!

To be honest, the Wara Wara Bar at Hapjeong was pretty damn hard to find and we had to manoeuvre around alot of roads and intersections.. So I suggest you just don't go to the Hapjeong franchise and just take the subway to Suyu Station Exit #8, take the escalator up and you'll see it almost immediately.

Anyways, we went to wara wara and we ordered their specialised Pineapple Soju, Pineapple Mango Soju and Grapefruit Beer.

#12

#12 Chulin munching on the free banchan

#13 

We ordered some chicken ball thing with cream sauce.

#14 I'm sorry I had to

#15 and Tofu Kimchi!

Anyways, by the time we reached our apartment, we were dead exhausted. So try to eat while finding the entertainments, because Chulin and I didn't touch a single food while searching for the entertainments as we didn't want to waste time.

The next chapter will be up soon I guess. School is starting soon so I might not have time to update the rest but I'll try my best alright!

Meanwhile..... Annyeong!

Seoul II: Day 4: The Hunt for Big Hit Entertainment

After eating my lunch and slacking for abit, I'm back!

We stood in front of Jellyfish Entertainment for awhile to enjoy its glory, before we proceeded to find Big Hit entertainment. 

Now, according to the directions we followed, they said it was pretty easy to find Big Hit from Jellyfish, so we tried....

We didn't eat breakfast nor lunch btw, so we bought Starbucks on the way and something kinda funny happened.

The barista couldn't speak much English (as usual) so I tried to speak in broken Korean/English which kinda worked hahaha...

Barista: Annyeonghaseyo! 

Me: Neh.... er... Aiseu Banilla Latte hana juseyo

Barista: Neh! Tall-eu?

Me: Ani... Grande?

Barista: Ah! *Korean words* (Asking if I am dining in or taking away)

Me: Er.... Neh?

Barista: Ah! Eat here? Take away?

Me: Take away!

Barista: Ah okay! 

When we paid and Chulin was receiving the change...

Barista: Okay, 1, 2, 3... 30,000 won

Chulin: Okay

Barista: 5,000 won

Chulin: Oka-

Barista: 1, 2, 3 300 won plus 1 500 won! So.. 800 won!

Chulin: .... *With palms full of coins*

Where did I go? I disappeared to the other side to laugh by myself.

Anyways, we tried following the directions again but we got lost and ended up in Nohyeong station wtf.

So we decided to fuck it and find another direction to Bighit, take the train and proceed on our way there.

Anyways, to get to Big Hit, you'll want to take the train to Sinsa Station and get out at Exit #1.

From there, keep walking straight. You'll walk past this bank at the first street but just keep walking straight.

#1

 At the 2nd street, you'll pass by this Mango Six Coffee Dessert place. Pay no mind to it, unless you wanna grab a quick drink and keep walking straight.

#2

 At the 3rd street, you'll see a Starbucks, again, keep walking straight.

#3

 Once you see this Sam Dae Gal Bi sign, walk past this sign/building and turn right immediately after. There will be an street after this building for you to turn right into.

#4

 There was so much walking upwards holy cow I think I shed a few kilos on that day. Now I know why BTS are so skinny wtf. Anyways, walk straight up and you'll pass by a GS25.

#5

Keep walking straight till you reach the 3rd road or, until you see this sign, then turn left and walk up/straight again.

#6

From there, just keep walking straight and you'll bump into Big Hit Entertainment on your right.

#7

The entertainment is pretty small, I'm not gonna lie but its there. When you walk nearer to it you'll see the word Big Hit written in small letters at the corner. 

We kinda wanted to go in but there were some guys at the balcony overlooking the street and were kinda like staring at us as we walked there (We made alot of noise too cuz we spent almost 1 hour and 30 minutes finding this place) so we decided to just look at it for 5 minutes and leave.

Anyways, I hope this directions are clear enough for you and if you have trouble finding the entertainment, you can always depend on google maps (we did)!

Anyways, Woollim will be the next one up! Stay tune! Annyeong!

Seoul II: Day 4: The Hunt for Jellyfish Entertainment

Hey all! I'm back with another blog post! This one will be different in a sense that I will be splitting this post up into 3 parts, since Chulin and I went to 3 different entertainments in one day.

Anyways, let's start shall we?

Chulin and I left the apartment first to start our day early because we have 3 entertainments to look for. However, little did we know we ran into alot of trouble for each entertainment FML.

So, time to start our trip to Jellyfish Entertainment! Chulin is a really big fan of VIXX (or Leo) and I've recently became a fan of Sung Si Kyung and most of VIXX's songs has always impressed me so.... onward!

Anyways, to get to Jellyfish Entertainment, you'll want to take the Subway to Apgujeong Station and head out of Exit #3. From there, start walking straight ahead till you reach 2 narrow buildings. I know my detail for this is pretty vague, but in between the two narrow buildings, there should be a Coffee Bean and a Twosome Place not far from it.

#1

After seeing the Coffee Bean, keep walking straight till you reach A Twosome Place, and from there, turn left right after the cafe.

#2

When you turn left, you'll see this restaurant

#3

 Turn right after this restaurant and you will bump into a GS25

#4

Keep walking straight. You'll know you're on the right path if you see a park/playground on your right

#5

Continue walking straight, I'll just post some photos of shops we walked past for your reference.

#6

#7

Once you pass by these two, you'll come across a huge signboard on your left on the opposite side about a Garden

#8

Once you see this, don't cross the road towards it, just turn right at the street you're on and keep walking straight, you'll come across a weird fish symbol and a restaurant in front. Keep looking to your right and you'll spot the Jellyfish Entertainment Logo right behind that building.

Or, if you're lucky enough, there'll be a huge banner of the group/singer currently promoting.

#9 VIXX LR!

I'll be completely honest with you here, we spent about almost an hour finding this entertainment, because the directions we followed from another site were really confusing and we got lost a few times, hence we had to start over from the start and rely on Google maps, so the directions I'm giving you now is a simpler version of the other directions, but then again, it's seriously up to your sense of directions as well.

Anyways, Big Hit and Woollim will be in the next post and hopefully I'll be able to remember Big Hit's one omg. Woollim's was quite simple but Big Hit... Oh Big Hit...

Anyways, till the next post! (Which will probably be posted in an hour's time) Annyeong!

Seoul Day 2

[Day 1 right below!]

Day 2 was a day in Lotte World! Behold! Alot of photos! Anyways, the above picture was suppose to be my hairstyle for the day, but I changed it at the last minute to a ponytail. 

Cordell making sure everything is in proper shape ^^

So, we met up with Eliza and Cheryl again outside our hotel room, then walked to the subway again and took the subway all the way to Jamsil Station. From there, we bought our tickets through a machine ^^

Lotte World Ticket

Lotte World was amazing. There was an ice rink, shops, restaurants and so many rides! Cordell and I bought a headband to start the day.

I went to put on my mask cuz the air was quite cold before I went in to Lotte World

Then later on, there was this kids' performance. It was adorable! Btw, we went to Lotte World because Eliza and Cheryl wanted to see BTOB.

Then, before the performance though, Cordell and I went on 2 rides. The viking and the aladdin pirate ship.

Awesome ride okay! It went super duper high! Plus we were only on the 3rd highest row! Then we walked around somemore and...

CUTEST BABY ALIVE OMG. IT WAS SO ADORABLE I CANNOT. Anyways, we then got hungry, so we went to hunt for some food and we found the awesomest food/invention.

I mean, why didn't you all think of this?!

After we ate, we decided to go to the outside of Lotte World. Like, the Outdoor Lotte World.

Amazing view or what.

Churros. Probably one of my favourite sweet treats now

AND THEN. WE SAW IT.

THE GYRO DROP. Omg. Cordell wanted to take that ride so badly but I'm like: 'Sorry, I have no balls'. I mean seriously, it's freaking cold and the thing is so high up, the pressure is gonna kill you.

So, we decided to explore more.

A soldier with... a... big.. yeah.

It got too cold, so we decided to walk back in and explore more.

After exploring, there was a special Christmas parade by Lotte World staff! So, we decided to stand there and watch the whole parade!

One of the friendly host

Well, after the parade, we were walking back to Cheryl & Eliza when we saw 2 headbands that would suit them super well! So, we bought them and wala!

I know! Hahaha anyways, Cordell and I didn't want to wait for BTOB, so we went off first, we wanted to go to Hongdae, but we couldn't find the Subway station for it. (It's Hongik University) So, we decided to drop by CUBE Cafe instead :D

Well, we took the subway to Apjucheong, which was the 'supposed' place to find CUBE Cafe, but we found out that we went to the wrong one, and that we were suppose to go to Cheongdam. So, we took a subway to Cheongdam.

Okay, for all you CUBE lovers, Lemme give you a pictorial direction on how to get there.

Firstly, you have to get out by Exit 9, which is shown below. If you are going in the winter, please wear thicker layers, Cheongdam is freaking cold.

From Exit 9, the moment you go up the escalator and meet the outside temperature, just keep walking straight till you see a traffic light. Cross the traffic light, and you should see Gucci. When you see Gucci, keep walking till you turn your head to the right and see Coffee bean. When you see Coffee Bean, turn right and keep walking.

Keep walking till you see JYP. The moment you see JYP, you are super duper close, like a minute away. Just keep walking and CUBE Cafe should be on your right.

How pretty is CUBE?! It's like... pretty.

Me, being a foodie, decided to buy food from CUBE. The price is just nice, quite affordable. I bought a Choco Latte (Iced) and a Spam Bite. BOTH WERE DELICIOUS. Omg. The Choco latte tasted just like Hot Chocolate and the Spam Bite had Kimchi in it!

After that, someone walked out of CUBE studio and ordered something at the counter.

Me: Who's that?

Cordell: I think it's Jihoon. 

Me: Really?

Cordell: OMG. It's Jihoon.

Me: JDKADKNCDNJ

Cordell: Omg Yvette follow me to the toilet.

Me: Okays.

*Walking to the toilet*

*Jihoon walking back to the studio*

Cordell: *Opening the door* Oh!

Jihoon: *Bows*

Cordell: I... just opened the door for Jihoon.. Best fanservice ever.

Me: LOL.

Anyways, after that, we left Cube Cafe and walked back to the subway in the cold and just took the subway all the way back to Euljiro Sam Ga and went back to our hotel to shower and sleep.

Whoa... Hahahaha anyways, will try to blog tomorrow. So, yeah. Annyeong!
