I’m afraid if you can even pronounce the name, Namul Meongeun Gom. 🙂 It means a bear that eats vegetables in Korean. It is a Korean-style restaurant opened by a mother who was dining in Gyeongbuk province. Bibimbap, Gomguk(Beef soup), stew, and Jjimdak(steamed chicken with soy sauce) are available in Gyeongsangdo style. NamulGom set including bibimbap and Korean rice wine and Kimchi-jjim(spicy Kimchi stew with pork) are favorites. Bibimbap is characterized by a special soy sauce instead of Gochujang(red pepper paste). Namul Meongeun Gom is located near the Hongik University. It’s worthwhile to visit and taste it.

Dakgalbi is a popular Korean dish made by spicy grilled chicken with vegetables like sweet potato, onion and cabbage. You have an option to make how spicy it is and add extra cheese, bacon, sausage, noodle and Korean rice cake. I would recommend you to try it having Ssam which is Korean cuisine’s signature wrap style of eating. Usually leafy vegetables like lettuce or seasame leaf are used to wrap a piece of grilled chicken and vegetables. It’s awesome! Moreover you would get extra vegetables yourself as much as you want here in “SELF BAR”. Address: Hongik-ro 19, Mapogu, Seoul Locate near Hongik University Time: 11:00 – 24:00 Price: 9,500KRW ~

Korean Pop is being one of the major genres in the world’s music beyond the Asian music market. Of course, BTS is the most famous team in the world as a K-Pop group, but there are so many other K-pop stars. For instance, EXO, Monsta X, NCT, BlackPink, Twice, Red Velvet, etc. But, Dy & I think the first singer who introduced K-Pop music to the world seriously is Psy and his song, Gangnam Style. People loved his exciting song and mimicked the unique dance movements. I hope we can see another exciting mega-hit song and dance soon. 🙂 Needless to say, there is a ton of intriguing experience-programs in Seoul to enjoy K-Pop because it’s the original epicenter of K-Pop Music!
