🗾 A 2-day Stray Kids weekend in Seoul (flying into Gimpo)
For fans flying in from Japan, Gimpo Airport is the short way into Seoul. This weekend plan strings together JYP's neighborhood, RACHA LOG restaurants, Myeongdong and COEX, with notes on opening hours so you don't arrive at a closed door.
Step by step
- Day 1 · Land at Gimpo, eat one stop awayGombaro Gomtang is one subway stop from Gimpo (Songjeong Stn exit 1 or Gonghang Market Stn exit 4) — mild beef soup, and Han and Lee Know's signed notes on the wall (partner restaurant).
- Day 1 · JYP CenterLine 5 east to Dunchon-dong (exit 3, about 16 minutes on foot). Photos outside only; please don't wait around the building.
- Day 1 · Dinner from RACHA LOG ep.1Pujuok next to JYP, where Felix, Seungmin and I.N had beef tripe hot pot. Open 24 hours, so a late arrival works.
- Day 2 · Myeongdong in the morningLotte Star Avenue opens at 09:30. Halmeonijip (RACHA LOG with Han, Seungmin and I.N) opens 11:00 on weekdays and only from 15:00 on Saturday — check before you go.
- Day 2 · COEX in the afternoonKTOWN4U for albums (from 11:00), then Haidilao from SKZ CODE ep.73 (10:00–03:00).
