Seoul, South Korea: KBS' Cool FM and Saetgang Ecology Park

By Tin Gallemaso - 1:00:00 PM

I was watching the Korean movie, "Tune in for Love" in Netflix when I saw this as one of the shooting locations. I immediately searched my blog and it was only then did I realize that I haven't posted this here yet.

We visited this place February 2019, just never had the chance to blog about it until now. Two Days, One Night Season 3 was still showing/broadcasting during this time so I was really looking forward to visiting this building back then.

BTW 2D1N is back on broadcast again for its season 4. I miss Cha Tae Hyun but I'm slowly getting used to the new members and of course, Kim Jong Min is still there so I still watch it every week.

It was the Chinese New Year Holiday so not a lot of establishments were open. There was a VR musuem but yeah, it was closed that day. Would've entered had I known that my favorite variety show would get discontinued months after this. :((

2 Days, 1 Night.... you're missed... you're really missed. :((

We chanced upon the live broadcast of KBS' Cool FM and you can watch the DJ from the glass window.

Saranghaeyo, Moon Hee Joon!

Here is Jamjam's appa while working. Tbh, I don't know who he was until he joined Return of Superman. I don't watch it all the time like 2D1N but I've been waiting for clips of his daughter - theirs is the only part that I watch.

After walking around the building, we continued walking towards Saetgang Overpass.

This is one of the shooting locations of Fight For My Way as well.

Not a long overpass but interesting design. You can take photos with the building of Yeouido at the background.

I tried to look for this bridge during my first time in Seoul but got lost because there's a train station called Saetgang and I thought it was around that area - one of the nearest station here would be Singil station if you're not coming from KBS.

I think I'd need more warm clothes since I'm going back in January for another winter trip. Hahaha! Kakahinayang kasi mag-invest for outfits. :)))

If you go down the bridge, you'll enter Saetgang Ecology Park.

There wasn't a lot to see that time since the trees have already lost their leaves and it hasn't snowed for days so we had neither autumn foliage nor winter snow. HAHA!

Still a nice place to walk around and take photos though especially since we don't have winter in our country. I've only seen places in Seoul during winter so going back there last month I was kinda feeling weird during the first few hours 'cause I was seeing leaves on the trees. lol

and EXO-L 'cause Suho was there too,

뮤지컬 웃는 남자/ The Man Who Laughs Musical - Suho (Junmyeon of EXO, Kyuhyun and Shindong of Super Junior

Cafe - Yesung of Super Junior

For my past three South Korea trips, I've been seeing Korean stars. :)) My ultimate bias/crush/whatever you call him is Park Seo Joon but I have no idea where to find him so I've only been going to the shooting locations of his drama.

Fight For My Way - Namil Villa & Namil Bar, Busan

Itaewon Class - Poster Location

More fangirling:
2019 Again Pyeongchang (KPOP Concert)

Busan One Asia Festival (KPOP Concert)

Military Days of Lee Min Ho

I'm not really into KPOP but this is exciting, tbh. HAHAHA! I swear kung ma-tyempuhan ko lang talaga si Seo Joon na ganito kalapit.. kahit two hours pa ko maghintay. Haha! Anyway, my friend is a huge fan of Super Junior which explains why she's updated with all Suju activities.

For this year's winter trip, we didn't have a definite itinerary. Since Kyuhyun of Super Junior has schedules as the lead of the musical "The Man Who Laughs" "뮤지컬 웃는 남자" we decided to drop by Seoul Arts Theater to wait for him.

Haengbok <3

Kyuhun was the one we saw on the first day we went there but I didn't upload a video. We decided to go back for Suho the next day and I handed him a love letter in a pouch as per the instruction of a friend. It was fun though it was the time when I realized that the feeling's different if it's with someone you like. HAHAHA! Last year, we saw Lee Min Ho go down his car and walk towards the door of his office and I was so kilig just by that. And then there was Suho who was closer and who accepted my love letter. I felt kilig 'cause my effort didn't go to waste but not the kilig kasi I'm crushing on that person. If you know what I mean. HAHA! Baka mamaya si Seo Joon nga, di ko ma-abutan ng love letter. :)))

We went back for Suho (but he exited somewhere else), left Seoul Arts and went back for Kyuhyun again.

I appreciate that he (Kyuhyun) takes time in walking, greeting, and accepting gifts from everyone.

During this second time, we were busy with our phones when all of a sudden, Shindong was walking alongside the people who've watched the musical. I wasn't even able to take a photo of him - andon lang siya sa harap ko, naglalakad. :)

It is calm with Kyuhyun but it feels like a battlefield with Suho. I can't blame him that he walks fast and don't look around much. Some fans can get really scary and aggressive with him. I got a bit scared too when we were waiting for him - parang ready silang mag attack anytime. Ganong feeling.

It was the Chinese New Year's Day and a lot of shops were closed. We first went to Donghae's Cafe but it was closed so we went straight to Yesung's Mouse Rabbit. Good thing it was open and there were also some fans eating inside.

We took our time as we drink our lattes and eat our cake. My friend listened to the Seollal greetings of Suju and it might have gotten the attention of her fellow ELF inside the cafe.

Several selfies after. The other elf tapped my friend and she told us that Yesung is in his other cafe - Cafe Amoire. Wala ng isip-isip, we grabbed our stuff and walked towards Cafe Amoire which was three to four cafes away. (Will be blogging about it soon)

We entered and there he was having meeting. We asked if taking a photo was fine but he respectfully declined - totally cool with that. Sayang lang we didn't have pen and paper with us that time so we weren't able to ask for a sign/autograph as well. But yeah, we were able to greet him anyway. :)))

So there, this is the end of an ELF and EXO-L fangirl diary. HAHAHA! Sana si Seo Joon din talaga, universe!
