1. “Cheer Up” by TWICE: Yangjae Stream Cherry Blossom Lane

Throwback to 2016, when girl group TWICE released “Cheer Up.” The music video uses many locations, but one is Yangjae Stream Cherry Blossom Lane, where we get to see Mina walking through the beautiful falling petals. Follow this street and you’ll be led past row after row of cherry blossom trees that bloom every spring. Make sure to visit this beautiful spot to be transported into the same magical flower world Mina was in.

2. “Pretty U” by SEVENTEEN: Tony Burger, Daegu

While in Korea, you’ll need somewhere to eat, and retro diner aesthetics are conveniently used often for music videos. Thirteen-member group SEVENTEEN used a diner known as Tony Burger to film their music video for “Pretty U,” showing off their fun side and proving it’s the perfect place to meet up with friends. The original Seoul location is now closed, but if you decide to make a stop at the delicious diner in Daegu, try to keep it cleaner than SEVENTEEN did in the music video.

3. “Gentleman” by PSY: The Seoul Metropolitan Library

Known for his hit “Gangnam Style,” PSY has released more hits such as “Gentleman,” filmed in some amazing places. In the “Gentleman” music video, he visits The Seoul Metropolitan Library, which is known for its wide stairs and ginormous book shelves, reaching as high as five meters tall. When you visit, have a relaxing browse, or if you feel up to it, you could recreate PSY’s “Gentleman” dance pose.

4. “Everyday I Love You” by ViVi: Seaside in Busan

Seoul isn’t the only place in Korea that holds beautiful sights. ViVi from LOONA emphasizes the beauty of the seaside in Busan. In her teaser video for “Everyday I Love You,” ViVi lets her hair flow in the soft breeze while showing off the refreshing effect the Busan seaside has on visitors. With blue skies and a wide ocean view, the seaside is a perfect place to visit if you want to experience the relaxing scenery Korea has to offer.

5. “Bar Bar Bar” by Crayon Pop: Yongma Land

Known for their silly theme, Crayon Pop visited an equally silly setting to film their iconic “Bar Bar Bar” music video. Yongma Land was a small amusement park located in Yongmasan that created a lively and bright setting for Crayon Pop. The park is now technically abandoned but can still be visited today. Although not as lively as it once was, the location is still very well-known for being featured not only in Crayon Pop’s music video but in many other K-pop music videos as well.
