Let K-pop idols guide your next Korean getaway

K-pop idols are venturing beyond the music studio to serve as personal travel guides in Seoul. A new exhibition, K-TRIP LOUNGE, opened at the HiKR Ground tourism center in central Seoul, running until September 6. This interactive pop-up transforms the fourth floor into a travel hub, offering audio-guided journeys of Korea's cultural highlights, narrated by top Korean musicians and actors.

Visitors can explore destinations like Anbandegi stargazing plains in Gangneung, E-World amusement park in Daegu, and the historic Jeonju Hanok Village. Prominent K-pop idols from groups N.Flying, P1Harmony, and AMPERS&ONE, as well as rapper pH-1 and actors Yoon Jong-seok, Lee Min-ki, and Lee Joo-seung, provide the audio guides.

Guests can listen by wearing headphones, immersing themselves in the sights and sounds of these destinations.
