강남 Gangnam City Tour

Gangnam in southern Seoul also has the story of its own. Long before the international pop sensation Psy’s ‘Gangnam Style’ brought worldwide attention to this district, it has been the most stylish and trendiest area in Seoul. As backdrops for many films, TV dramas and other shows wanting to project Seoul and Korea of today, it is filled with special places like *Hallyu stars’ favorite hangouts and entertainment agencies. To introduce the hidden gems in Gangnam and their stories to the world, a city branding project ‘K ROAD’ is set to kick off. K Star ROAD is its first chapter that covers the streets with Hallyu stars’ favorite hangout spots and their management agencies, followed by K Fashion ROAD with popular fashion stores; K Beauty ROAD with cosmetic stores and beauty clinics; K Riverside ROAD with Hangang Parks along the river; and K Gourmet ROAD with much-buzzed-about restaurants to taste the epicurean delights. Discover Gangnam with K ROADs. It will make your travel more special and memorable.*Hallyu : Hallyu, also known as the Korean Wave, refers to increase in the popularity of South Korean pop culture around the world.

K-Star Road is a special project of Gangnam-gu for foreign tourists who love Korean culture and hallyu stars. As the name implies, the shops and stores are frequented by the hallyu stars around Cheongdam-dong, Gangnam-gu, Sinsa-dong, and Nonhyun-dong areas. 

From the west part of Apgujeong Galleria Department Store along the 400-meter strip leading to the headquarters of SM Entertainment, visitors can see cute, stylized statues of famous K-pop stars like TVXQ, SNSD, SHINee, EXO, 4minute, Miss A, FT Island, Super Junior, CNBlue, and 2PM. Not only that, Apgujeong Rodeo Station is adorned with graffiti art, as well as walls and floors decorated with artwork and special name plaques of hallyu stars.
