Seoul is the global capital of K-pop, and for millions of fans visiting Korea, experiencing the culture up close is a major reason for the trip. From entertainment company flagship stores to fan cafés and pop-up events, the K-pop tourism circuit is vast — and best experienced completely hands-free, given how much merch you’re likely to buy.
