🍔 Restaurants Loved by TREASURE Members

1. Menya Sandaime Hongdae — Jihoon's Ramen Spot

After Jihoon's visit, this authentic Japanese ramen shop became a quiet TEUME pilgrimage point. The tonkotsu broth is rich and deep — but the real draw is hunting for member signatures on the walls.

📍 Address: 1F, 24 Hongik-ro 5-an-gil, Mapo-gu, Seoul
🚇 Subway: Hongik Univ. Station (Line 2), Exit 9
🕐 Hours: Daily 11:30 AM – 10:00 PM

📋 Reservations: Walk-in only
⏱ Typical wait: 20–40 min on weekday evenings; 45–60 min on weekends
💡 Tip: Arrive right at 11:30 AM opening or after 2 PM to skip the lunch rush.

📸 Photo spots:

• Ask staff where the member signatures are — usually near the counter
• The retro wooden entrance sign is great for a before-entering shot
• Wide-angle the interior to capture the cozy, authentic ramen atmosphere

2. Cho-han Cho-ma — Jaehyuk's Jjamppong Spot

Jaehyuk's favourite spicy seafood noodle spot hides in a quiet Mangwon-dong alley. The broth is intensely deep — exactly the kind of local secret that never appears on tourist lists.

📍 Address: 24 Bang-ul-nae-ro 9-gil, Mapo-gu, Seoul
🚇 Subway: Mapo-gu Office Station (Line 6), Exit 6
🕐 Hours: Tue–Sun 10:30 AM – 9:00 PM (Break 3:00–5:00 PM / Closed Mon)

📋 Reservations: Walk-in only
⏱ Typical wait: 10–20 min at lunch; minimal outside peak hours
💡 Tip: Avoid Monday (closed) and the 3–5 PM break. Early weekday lunch is almost always immediate seating.

📸 Photo spots:

• The narrow alley leading to the shop has a quiet neighbourhood feel — great for mood shots
• The red jjamppong bowl against a plain table makes a clean food photo
• Recreate Jaehyuk's eating expression — that is what fans come here to do

3. Yuk-jang — Hyunsuk & Jihoon's Yukgaejang Ramen

This basement restaurant became famous after Hyunsuk and Jihoon's visit. The industrial-chic interior — dark walls, exposed pipes, minimal lighting — matches the members' aesthetic perfectly.

📍 Address: 75 Poeun-ro, Mapo-gu, Seoul
🚇 Subway: Mangwon Station (Line 6), Exit 2
🕐 Hours: Daily 11:00 AM – 8:00 PM (Break 3:00–5:00 PM)

📋 Reservations: Walk-in only
⏱ Typical wait: 15–30 min at lunch
💡 Tip: The 3–5 PM break is strictly observed. Plan your visit around it.

📸 Photo spots:

• The basement staircase creates a moody, cinematic entrance shot
• Industrial interior details (exposed brick, metal fixtures) photograph well
• The yukgaejang ramen bowl — the same dish Hyunsuk and Jihoon ordered

4. Hannam-dong Han-bang Tong-dak — Hyunsuk's Soul Food

A legendary Hannam-dong spot serving wood-fired whole chicken stuffed with sticky rice. Hyunsuk has called it a personal favourite — the kind of place celebrities return to after a long schedule.

📍 Address: 12 Daesagwan-ro 34-gil, Yongsan-gu, Seoul
🚇 Subway: Hannam Station (Gyeongui-Jungang Line), Exit 1
🕐 Hours: Mon–Sat 4:10 PM – 1:30 AM (Closed Sun)

📋 Reservations: Walk-in only (no reservations accepted)
⏱ Typical wait: 30–60 min on weekday evenings; 1+ hr on weekends
💡 Tip: Arrive by 4:30 PM right after opening or after 9 PM to significantly cut your wait.

📸 Photo spots:

• The rustic exterior with traditional signage is iconic for an entrance shot
• The whole roasted chicken in its clay pot is a must-photograph moment
• Check fan SNS to find which corner table Hyunsuk favoured

☕ Cafes with a TREASURE Vibe

5. Anthracite Hapjeong — The Factory Café Near YG HQ

An old oil factory converted into one of Seoul's most atmospheric cafés — a short walk from YG Entertainment. The quiet, industrial-artistic interior is exactly the kind of space Yoshi and Junkyu gravitate toward.

📍 Address: 10 Tojeong-ro 5-gil, Mapo-gu, Seoul
🚇 Subway: Sangsu Station (Line 6), Exit 4
🕐 Hours: Daily 09:00 AM – 9:50 PM

📸 Photo spots:

• High ceilings and rusted factory beams make every corner photogenic
• Coffee in hand against the exposed brick wall is a clean aesthetic shot
• The outdoor garden area is quiet and underrated by most visitors

6. Camel Coffee — Asahi's Vintage Café (Seongsu / Dosan)

Known among fans as the Asahi café for its analog, film-camera aesthetic that mirrors his personal style. Both Seongsu and Dosan locations share the same vintage interior — the Seongsu branch is easier to combine with Seoul Forest (Spot 9).

📍 Seongsu: 6 Seongdeokjeong 19-gil, Seongdong-gu | Exit 3, Seongsu Station (Line 2)
📍 Dosan: 16-8 Dosan-daero 45-gil, Gangnam-gu | Exit 5, Apgujeong-rodeo Station
🕐 Seongsu Hours: Daily 10:00 AM – 6:00 PM / Dosan: 9:00 AM – 6:30 PM

⏱ Typical wait: 10–20 min on weekends; usually immediate on weekdays
💡 Tip: Order the signature Camel Coffee cold brew — the one Asahi photographed.

📸 Photo spots:

• Find the corner Asahi posted on Instagram — vintage film posters and wooden shelves in the background
• Warm window light in the morning creates perfect soft-tone photos
• Hold the camel coffee and recreate the exact shot

7. Teddy Beurre House Yongsan — Junkyu & Doyoung's Café

The famous spot where Junkyu and Doyoung posed with the oversized teddy bears. French-style exterior, buttery croissants, and the kind of whimsical atmosphere that makes for effortless aesthetic photos.

📍 Address: 1F, 42 Hangang-daero 40-ga-gil, Yongsan-gu, Seoul
🚇 Subway: Samgakji Station (Line 4/6), Exit 3
🕐 Hours: Daily 10:00 AM – 10:00 PM

📋 Reservations: Walk-in only
⏱ Typical wait: 20–40 min on weekends; minimal on weekdays

📸 Photo spots:

• Pose with the oversized teddy bears exactly as Junkyu and Doyoung did
• The pastel European-style exterior is great for street-style shots
• Croissant on a white plate against the café background makes a clean food photo

📸 Iconic Photo & Hangout Spots

8. Mangwon Han River Park — Hyunsuk's Sunset Spot

Skip crowded Yeouido — locals and TREASURE members prefer the quieter Mangwon riverbank. This is where Hyunsuk takes the moody, golden-hour Instagram shots that feel effortlessly cinematic.

📍 Address: 467 Maponaru-gil, Mapo-gu, Seoul
🚇 Subway: Mangwon Station (Line 6), Exit 1 → Mapo-09 town bus
🕐 Hours: Open 24 hours

💡 Tip: Arrive 1 hour before sunset for the golden light. Grab a convenience store snack and sit by the water — that is the Hyunsuk vibe.

📸 Photo spots:

• Stand at the riverside facing the bridge — the Han River and city reflection is the classic Hyunsuk shot
• Soft evening light on the grassy bank is perfect for natural portrait photos
• Bring earphones and sit on the grass for the full atmosphere recreation

9. Seoul Forest & Seongsu Alleys — Jihoon & Jaehyuk's Walk

The park is beautiful, but what TEUMEs actually come for are the tiny alleys surrounding it — filled with design shops, murals, and indie galleries that Jihoon and Jaehyuk enjoy wandering through. Combine with Camel Coffee Seongsu (Spot 6) for a perfect afternoon.

📍 Address: 273 Ttukseom-ro, Seongdong-gu, Seoul
🚇 Subway: Seoul Forest Station (Suin-Bundang Line), Exit 4
🕐 Hours: Open 24 hours

💡 Tip: Walk from Seoul Forest Station toward the Seongsu neighbourhood — the alleys between the station and the forest are the real hidden spots.

📸 Photo spots:

• The forest canopy in late afternoon creates dappled light perfect for portraits
• Seongsu street murals are popular TREASURE fan photo recreation spots
• Wooden bridges inside the forest give a quiet, nature-in-the-city atmosphere

10. the SameE — Official YG Fan Café (Facing YG HQ)

Directly opposite the YG Entertainment building entrance. Sit here with your coffee, watch the front door, and — if timing aligns — spot a familiar face. It is also the best place in Seoul to meet fellow TEUMEs from around the world.

📍 Address: 6-3 Huiujeong-ro 1-gil, Mapo-gu, Seoul
🚇 Subway: Hapjeong Station (Line 2/6), Exit 8
🕐 Hours: Daily 10:30 AM – 8:00 PM

💡 Tip: Weekday mornings are calmer for a personal visit. Weekend afternoons draw international fans for spontaneous meetups.

📸 Photo spots:

• YG Entertainment building visible from the entrance — the classic fan photo
• Fan postcards and artwork left by previous visitors are worth documenting
• Corner window seats with a view toward YG are the most coveted spots

Tips for Your TREASURE Seoul Pilgrimage

• Best timing: Weekday mornings for restaurants; late afternoons for cafés and parks
• One-day plan: Zone 1 (Hongdae/Mapo) in the morning → Hannam after lunch → Seongsu/Mangwon evening
• Fan etiquette: These are real local businesses. Keep your voice down, do not block entrances, and always order something.
• Signatures: At Menya Sandaime, it is fine to ask staff about member signatures — they are used to TEUME visitors.
• Language: Most staff speak limited English. Show the Korean name on your phone when ordering — it works every time.
• Getting around: A T-money card or transit-inclusive pass covers all metro lines between zones.

Conclusion

Seoul has no shortage of K-pop attractions, but this TREASURE map focuses on places members actually choose on their own time — not themed cafés or idol experience centres. Eat the same food, sit by the same river, walk the same alleys, and you will understand a little more about who they are off stage.
