SM, JYP, Cube and YG Buildings in Seoul

While in Seoul, I was able to check out the locations of SM, JYP, Cube, and YG Entertainment headquarters. I didn't actually go inside (I don't think that's possible unless there's an audition going on) but just visited briefly, like a tourist + fangirl, and took pictures outside, keke.

I'd found directions online, but for some reason can't find them right now. It's just as well as the directions were a little faulty. However you can look up their addresses and map out your route should you ever decide to visit. I do remember that SM was a short subway ride away from JYP, which is literally about a small block away from Cube (like a 1-2 minute walk), and then YG is totally out of the way (in Mapo while the rest are in Gangnam), about another 30-40 minute ride on the subway.

Korean Musical, Kpop and Random Hauls in Seoul

While I was in Seoul, I got to watch the Korean production of the Broadway musical, "Catch Me If You Can" ("?? ? ?? ? ?"), starring Key from SHINee. *squeals* Okay okay, admittedly Key's not one of my favorites from my favorite group, but it was still cool that I could watch him perform live. Basically, see him in person and hear him sing live!

The musical took place at Blue Square, Samsung Card Hall, in Hannam-dong, Seoul.

Etude House Haul and SHINee

Without further ado, I present to you...the beautiful unveiling of my Etude House haul from Myeongdong. Please be forewarned that this post is extremely picture heavy and also filled with lots of pink.

Ahhh the glory...

Their latest hot item for spring is the Dear My Blooming Lips-Talk lipstick. Long story short, I ended up with two gift sets, enticed by the SHINee notebooks they came with.

Seoul and SHINee Love~!!

Hiyee~!! First I just want to say thank you to everyone who participated in my Seoul and Tokyo surprise giveways or left me comments and tips even if not entering. I really appreciate it, and am still enjoy reading all of the info shared with me!

I landed in Seoul earlier today after a very long day at LAX yesterday, so I'm still settling in but should be able to pick a winner by the end of this weekend (at least for Seoul, Tokyo winner might be chosen later).

Also thank you to all of my wonderful friends who I have had the blessing to get to know through blogging for being so, so supportive and excited for my trip! I don't know if you realize by now but I can be shy and enigmatic or at least very private...so I think actually more of you know about my traveling than my "real life" friends. XD
