N Seoul Tower

The place is also known as Namsan tower and Seoul tower. This is one of Seoul's most popular tourist attractions and has appeared in many dramas. It is the 'Eiffel Tower,' of Seoul, which usually is a place where people would associate the location with love and romance.

Cheonggyecheon Stream

Yonsei University

The university is not only one of the top three most prestigious universities in the country, but it also has an absolutely beautiful campus! It's especially beautiful in autumn when the trees transform into colors yellow, orange, and red!
