So, you want the photo spots

Just like Arby’s has the meat, I have the spots you’ve been looking for all over Seoul and beyond
As my roommate can attest, I have traveled to many different parts of Korea. I have also explored neighborhoods of Seoul like Gangnam/Apgujeong, Hongdae, Hapjeong, Sinchon, and Gwanak (highly residential and random). Thus, I have collected an array of beautiful pictures and favorite places all over Korea. Here I’ll focus a bit more heavily on Seoul (check out more articles for more favorites throughout Korea).
1.Apgujeong – Detroit Pizza
The Detroit Pizza Police box was perfect for colorful lighting (the lights are color changing). If you have a professional camera or talent with portrait mode you could take some pinterest worthy shots for your memories.
2.Gangnam – Line Friends Store
I am personally a huge BTS fan and thus had to visit these little BT21 guys while I was in Korea. The Line friends store was two or three stories and had photo spot upon photo spot. My personal favorite is Mang, but you can get pictures with any of the Line/BT21 characters depending on your preference.
3. Seoul - Gyeongbokgung
Gyeongbokgung is one of the few Seoul palaces that I have seen (I have visited Gyeongbokgung and Deoksugung) and the largest palace in Seoul. With CIEE, I was able to take a trip to the palace in a Hanbok (Korean traditional garb) with one of the Yecco club students who gave us a tour of the palace and was amazing at taking pictures. I was able to realize all of my historical drama dreams there and act out scenes from my favorites. As a bonus, I visited the palace again in the scholar’s version of the hanbok. I would have to say I enjoyed that attire more as it made me feel truly powerful and as if I owned the palace. (Although I suppose the king would have been the one to feel that way.)
