🎨 Eat like Hyunjin: Jeju, Suwon and Busan
Most of Hyunjin's places are outside Seoul, so this is a guide for adding a day trip. Jeju comes from his solo vlog 'Hyun.e's Holiday 12' (Dec 2025), Suwon from RACHA LOG Ep.23 (June 2026) and Busan from SKZ CODE Ep.100–101.
Step by step
- Jeju · abalone porridge at Sineom Haenyeo HouseHyunjin started his solo Jeju trip with abalone porridge (₩12,000) at this seaside restaurant run by women divers. It is about 25 minutes by car west of Jeju Airport on the Aewol coast road. Closed Tuesdays.
- Jeju · black pork under SanbangsanThe black-pork barbecue from the same vlog is in Sagye, in southwest Jeju. There is no subway on Jeju — plan a rental car or taxi and book for two servings or more.
- Jeju · Sanbangsan carbonated hot springThe hot spring is 350 m from the black-pork restaurant, so the two fit in one evening. Fans link it to the vlog, but it does not appear on screen — treat it as a nice pairing, not a confirmed spot.
- Suwon · Rexpresso Museum dinosaur caféIn RACHA LOG Ep.23, Han, Changbin and Hyunjin met a T. rex skeleton here. Open 12:00–22:00; about 15 minutes by taxi from Suwon Station. The 'Tyranno-misu' is ₩15,000.
- Suwon · Pyongyang Myeonok cold noodlesAfter the café the three went for Pyongyang cold noodles, mung bean pancake and boiled pork. It is a 12-minute walk from Rexpresso and closes at 20:00, so go for an early dinner.
- Busan · egg hotteok in the marketLee Know and Hyunjin brought egg hotteok (₩3,000) from this stall in SKZ CODE Ep.100–101. Jagalchi Station (Busan Line 1) exit 3, about 8 minutes. Open 12:30–18:00, closed Thursdays.

Before you go
- Suwon is 30–60 minutes from Seoul by Line 1 or the Suin–Bundang Line, so the café and noodles make an easy half-day.
- Jeju is a one-hour flight from Gimpo. The three Jeju spots are far apart, so give them a full day with a car.
- Hyunjin's birthday is March 20, five days before Stray Kids' debut anniversary on March 25.
Quick answers
Where did Hyunjin go in Jeju?
In his vlog 'Hyun.e's Holiday 12' he had abalone porridge at Sineom Haenyeo House on the Aewol coast and black-pork barbecue in Sagye, under Sanbangsan mountain.
Where is the dinosaur café from RACHA LOG?
It is Rexpresso Museum Haenggung in Suwon, from RACHA LOG Ep.23 with Han, Changbin and Hyunjin.
Can I do Hyunjin's places as a day trip from Seoul?
Suwon, yes — it is under an hour away. Jeju needs a flight and Busan a KTX ride, so plan those as separate days.
