Seoul 2012 Apgujeong/KyoChon-Everysing-SM entertaiment-JYP

Day 2 in Seoul was spent in apgujeong (압구정/狎鸥亭) in Cheondam dong. Took Line 3 MRT to Apgujeong station from Chungmuro station. Another thing I love about staying in Chungmuro, it has two MRT line which is very convenient.

Apgujeong is a places full with branded shop, plastic surgery clinic, cafe and Star Agency. Apgujeong in the morning is similar to Bukit Bintang in Malaysia. You can see coffee shop everywhere in Korea. Our first stop of the day was brunch at Kyochon Chicken that is endorse by our favourite Super Junior. The shop didn't open sharp in time that cause us waited outside for some time. Previously Shinhwa was the shareholder of this shop thus you can find shinhwa palm print and signed poster inside the shop.

Opening hours: 11:00-24:00
Address: 640-5, Sinsa-dong, Gangnam-gu | #1, 1F, Daesung Bldg., Seoul, South Korea
How to get there: Apgujeong Rodeo Station Exit 6. or Apgujeong Station Exit 2. Walk straight for approximately 5-10mins and turn right after han bank. The shop is located at the right. 

The fried chicken cost us around 15,000 won but worth the price as it tastes awesome. Although it is weird to eat it as brunch. After brunch at Kyochon, we went to Everysing which is just few steps away from Kyochon. It is a merchandise shop owned by SM Entertainment. They sell official goods of SM labelled artist and also some merchandise of other artist.

Address: 31 Seolleung-ro 161-gil, Gangnam-gu, Seoul, South Korea

How to get there: Apgujeong station, take exit 2. Above GS25. 

Other than selling merchandise, Everysing also has photosticker booth where you can take picture with your idol literally. We went there for their Karaoke too. Singing for an hour cost us 14,000won, comes with two cans of drink and a snack.  A good looking oppa taught us how to use the remote control to order songs. He is surprised that I can read Korean words. Karaoke in Korea doesn't comes with the original MV of the songs. Instead they will show you other except SM artist songs. 

Whenever a songs finished, the system will awarded you with a grade. Not really based on singing skill I guess since the lowest mark I got is around 60+ due to I can't rap in Korean. LOL It will laugh at you if your score less than 80 and the laughing sound sounds like SuperJunior Shindong. haha

Next we walked to SM Entertainment and JYP Entertainment. You can see a lot of fans standing outside the building waiting for their favourite artist outside. Not only korean, but Japanese, Chinese etc. The SM Entertainment building we went was an old building. Now they shifted it to the new building which is somewhere in somewhere nearby JYP Entertainment. 

Along the street, there are a lot of plastic surgery centre and beautiful bridal gallery. 

Dear future husbands, I want our wedding photoshoot to be done in Korea in the future. :) Please makes my dream come true.
