NCT Locations in Korea: KWANGYA Seoul, the Hongcheon Course, and a Busan Day

NCT's location list has an unusual property: a lot of it comes from official Korea Tourism Organization fan courses, which means the routes were designed to be walked in order. The EatHub NCT collection has 32 places. Below they're grouped the way you'd actually travel them.

Seongsu: SM, KWANGYA, and the bench

SM Entertainment / KWANGYA SEOUL (Wangsimni-ro 83-21, Seongdong-gu) is the anchor. The agency building is exterior-only, but KWANGYA SEOUL is the official fan space attached to it — merch, artist content, and other fans. Weekday, 10:30am to noon, before it fills up.

A ten-minute walk away, Seoul Forest holds Mark's fan bench, a donated bench dedicated to him and part of the KTO's Mark comeback fan-day course. Early morning, 8–10am, if you want the park to yourself.

Seongsu is Seoul's café district and one of the best casual dinner neighborhoods in the city, so this pairing — agency, fan space, park, long lunch — is the single easiest good day in the collection.

The Mark fan-day course, in order

The KTO course continues past Seoul Forest and it's genuinely well-built:

• CT Record Myeongdong (Toegye-ro 124) — album buying and photocard trading. Weekday morning.
• KBS Art Hall in Yeouido — for Music Bank arrivals on broadcast days. Only worth it if the schedule lines up.
• HiKR GROUND (Cheonggyecheon-ro 40, Jung-gu) — the Korea Tourism Organization's free K-content space, and the last stop on the course, where you film a K-pop challenge video in the XR studio. Right at opening or a weekday afternoon.

HiKR GROUND is also the best free thing on this entire list, fan or not.

The rest of Seoul

• Hapjeong Haneulgil in Mapo — a street Johnny visited, featured in a KTO Hallyu fan course.
• Ikseon-dong Hanok Street in Jongno — introduced by NCT DREAM's Jeno and Chenle as an instagrammable Seoul stop. Weekday 10am–noon; the lanes are narrow.
• Ttukseom Han River Park in Gwangjin — where the members did water sports and ordered Han River delivery food in Hot & Young Seoul Trip. An hour before sunset.
• N Seoul Tower — the cable car and observatory, from the same show. Sunset into night.
• Gyeongbokgung — the final stop of Hot & Young Seoul Trip, visited during the night opening. If you can get night-opening tickets, take them; the palace is a completely different place lit up.

That's a clean second Seoul day: Ikseon-dong in the morning, Ttukseom in the late afternoon, Namsan at sunset.

Hongcheon: the NCT LIFE course

NCT LIFE in Chuncheon & Hongcheon produced a compact Gangwon day trip:

• Vivaldi Park Luge World — the night luge mission location. Go at opening.
• Alpaca World in Hwachon-myeon — the animal park from the same course, best around 10am.
• Gari Mountain Leports Park in Ducheon-myeon — the outdoor-sports location.
• Garam Resort — also on the official course list.

Hongcheon is about two hours from Seoul, and if you're going that far, Chuncheon is next door — which means dak-galbi and makguksu for dinner.

Busan: the Battle Trip route

NCT DREAM's Jaemin and Jeno mapped out a Busan day on Battle Trip, and it holds up as an actual travel itinerary:

• Jangnim Port in Saha-gu — the pastel-colored "Busan Venice" waterfront. Morning or just before sunset.
• Taejongdae cruise in Yeongdo — the coastal sightseeing boat, mid-morning to early afternoon.
• Gwangalli Beach in Suyeong — the bridge, the sand, the restaurant strip. After sunset until about 10pm.
• Hwangnyeongsan viewpoint in Nam-gu — the night-view finale, 30 minutes before sunset onward.

Add Songdo Marine Cable Car in Seo-gu, which NCT DREAM's Jisung rode on a separate KTO fan course.

Eat: Gwangalli's strip is the obvious dinner, but Busan's real specialties — dwaeji-gukbap, milmyeon, seafood at Jagalchi — are worth planning around rather than defaulting to the beachfront.

The one-offs worth the trip

• BEECAVE in Jocheon, Jeju — the café where Doyoung filmed his solo Youth video, listed by the KTO as an official Hallyu filming site.
• Camp Greaves DMZ in Paju — where NCT DREAM shot the Hot Sauce album cover. It's a former US Army base turned experience center near the DMZ; go at opening.
• Sungsimdang main store in Jung-gu, Daejeon — the legendary bakery NCT 127 visited. Go 8–10am on a weekday or you will stand in line. This is a food destination independent of any K-pop connection; the fried soboro bread is the reason.
• THE MAGU in Yangpyeong — where NCT WISH filmed the Missing Bird in Cupid Museum teaser.
• Gwangju Biennale Exhibition Hall — NCT WISH served as ambassadors for the 15th Biennale.

Concert venues

KSPO DOME (NEO CITY : SEOUL – THE UNITY, THE DREAM SHOW 4 FINALE), Gocheok Sky Dome (THE DREAM SHOW 3 and 4 in Seoul), Jamsil Arena (the 2026 JNJM FANMEETING TOUR DUALITY), Incheon Munhak Stadium (NCT NATION : To The World), INSPIRE ARENA in Incheon (NCT WISH's Our WISH), and Myeonghwa Live Hall in Yeongdeungpo (SCHOOL of WISH).

Planning notes

• KWANGYA SEOUL and HiKR GROUND both have opening hours and quiet windows — mornings are much better.
• Agency buildings are exterior-only. SM's Seongsu office is a workplace.
• The Hongcheon and Busan courses are each a full day. Don't try to bolt them onto a Seoul day.
