Justin Bieber has unexpectedly returned to South Korea for the first time in around 13 years, sparking excitement as the pop icon was seen around Seoul. Reports indicate he visited the Anguk neighborhood for samgyetang, a popular chicken ginseng soup dish. Bieber shared photos from Banpo-dong in Seoul's Seocho District on social media.
This marks his first confirmed visit to South Korea since performing there in 2013, alongside his wife, Hailey Bieber. Bieber was spotted in Seongsu-dong, a trendy shopping and fashion district, where a pop-up for his clothing brand Skylrk was being held. The brand's first appearance in Korea opened Thursday and will run through Sunday.
Skylrk's offerings include casual, colorful clothing like hoodies, pants, footwear, and sunglasses, with designs noted for their relaxed silhouettes. Bieber's visit to the Skylrk pop-up drew extra attention to the event.
