Busan is the hometown of BTS members Jungkook and Jimin. As such, there are many spots that the members love. If you visit Busan, spend one day following in their footsteps. NOL World has planned the perfect day for you! From eating local food to strolling through art galleries and along the seaside, you'll be able to share the same memories as the members. π
RM's Pick β¨
βοΈ 10:30AM BUSAN MUSEUM OF ART
Why not start with the Busan Museum of Modern Art? It's Busan's iconic art spot that RM visits every time he comes to the city, and it's conveniently located near major attractions like Haeundae and BEXCO. The permanent exhibition <Lee Ufan Space>, showcasing signature works by artist Lee Ufan, became even more popular after RM gave it a shoutout. Go find the very space that inspired RM! π 58, APEC-ro, Haeundae-gu, Busan β° 10:00 AM β 6:00 PM (Closed every Monday)
RM's Pick β¨
π 1:30PM Dongrae Milmyeon
When you're craving authentic Busan local food, head to Dongrae Milmyeon. It's a milmyeon restaurant personally approved by RM, and there are plenty of reviews posted by ARMYs who made the trip after hearing the buzz. The place has been running at the same location for nearly 40 years, earning recognition from locals as well. The milmyeon is delicious, but their hearty king dumplings are just as good. We recommend the combination of cold milmyeon and piping hot king dumplings. π 47, Myeongnyun-ro, Dongnae-gu, Busan β° 10:30 AM β 12:00 AM
Milmyeon traces its origins back to the Korean War, when wheat flour was used to make noodles because ingredients for naengmyeon β such as potato or buckwheat β were hard to come by. The cold, tangy-sweet broth is similar to naengmyeon, but milmyeon is known for its softer, more tender noodles.
JIMIN β¨
π₯€3:00PM ZM-ILLENNIAL
ZM-ILLENNIAL, known to be run by Jimin's father, has become a must-visit stop for ARMYs. It's not quite near the key landmarks in Busan, but it's worth the visit. That's because it's more than just a cafΓ© β it's closer to a commemorative space where fans gather and share their love for BTS. Browsing the Jimin merch, along with the flowers and letters left by ARMYs, might just make you fall even more in love with Jimin. π 135, Jinnam-ro, Nam-gu, Busan β° 10:00 AM β 9:50 PM
JIMIN's Pick β¨
π 6:00PM Dadaepo Beach
Among all the beaches, Dadaepo Beach is one of the very few places in Busan where you can take in a breathtaking sunset. It also gained fame as a spot Jimin has visited. Arrive before sundown, take a leisurely stroll along the shore, and soak in the view as the sun sets. Walking barefoot on the soft, white sand is especially lovely. Quieter and more tranquil than Haeundae and Gwangalli Beach, it's the perfect place to truly feel like you've escaped on a faraway trip. π 14, Morundae 1-gil, Saha-gu, Busan
JUNGKOOK's Pick β¨
π₯© 8:00PM Chopilsal Pork Grill
The best way to wrap up your day is with Korean BBQ. Chopilsal Pork Grill, located in Haeundae, is known as a restaurant Jungkook has visited, and they say his exact seat is even marked inside the restaurant. Make sure to try the pork skin here β this is the original home of scored pork skin. It's such a well-known spot even among Koreans, so we recommend making a reservation in advance through a waitlist app before heading over. π 23, Marine city 3-ro, Haeundae-gu, Busan β° 17:00 PM - 24:00 AM
