For K-pop fans visiting Seoul, exploring the city can mean more than shopping for albums or visiting familiar filming locations. Sometimes, the most memorable stops are the places where their favorite artists have shared a meal.
For ENHYPEN fans, that could mean sitting down for a bowl of Korean chicken soup, visiting a restaurant featured in the group's own content, or discovering a quiet teahouse tucked away in Bukchon.
Inspired by a restaurant guide shared by Unlock Korea and Fanwork, here are six places worth adding to an ENGENE's Seoul itinerary.
Yongsan Samgyetang: A Taste of Korean Comfort Food
Address: 20, Hangang-daero 48-gil, Yongsan-gu, Seoul
Few dishes feel quite as comforting as samgyetang, a traditional Korean chicken soup made with ginseng, garlic, and other ingredients simmered together in a rich broth.
Yongsan Samgyetang, featured in the original Instagram guide as one of ENHYPEN's dining stops, specializes in this Korean classic. Served bubbling hot in a stone bowl, it's the kind of meal worth taking your time over.
For fans curious about everyday Korean food beyond the usual barbecue and fried chicken, this is a good place to start.
Delicatessen Hannam: A Familiar Scene from EN-DRAMA
Address: B1, 231, Itaewon-ro, Yongsan-gu, Seoul
Some ENHYPEN locations might look familiar before you even walk through the door.
Delicatessen Hannam was featured in the group's EN-DRAMA series, including the Perfect Strangers episode. For fans who watched the members gather around a table, visiting the restaurant offers a chance to recognize a setting from the show.
Located in Hannam-dong, the restaurant offers a Western-style dining experience in a stylish interior, making it a different stop from Seoul's casual neighborhood eateries.
Freshville: A Connection to ENHYPEN's Trainee Days
Address: 1F, 19, Teheran-ro 108-gil, Gangnam-gu, Seoul
Not every meaningful K-pop location is tied to a music video or a concert. Some are connected to the years before the spotlight.
Freshville, a casual restaurant near Samseong Station, is described in the Instagram guide as a familiar dining spot from ENHYPEN's pre-debut days.
The restaurant is known for Korean-style Western comfort food, including pork cutlets and omurice, a dish of rice topped with an omelet. For ENGENEs interested in the group's early history, Freshville offers a glimpse of an ordinary part of trainee life.
Bukchon Lounge: Following Jay's Quiet Afternoon
Address: 103-7, Gyedong-gil, Jongno-gu, Seoul
After exploring Seoul's busy streets, sometimes a peaceful cup of tea is exactly what you need.
Bukchon Lounge Cha Cha Tea Club appeared in Jay's EN-loG vlog, offering fans a glimpse of a quieter side of his time in Seoul.
Set inside a traditional Korean hanok, the teahouse offers a calm setting for enjoying tea and taking a break. The surrounding Bukchon neighborhood, with its narrow streets and tiled rooftops, adds another reason to visit.
Yeongcheon Yeonghwa: A Late-Night Meal in Cheongdam
Address: 3, Dosan-daero 90-gil, Gangnam-gu, Seoul
Seoul's food scene doesn't necessarily slow down when the sun goes down.
Yeongcheon Yeonghwa, a Korean beef restaurant in Cheongdam, is highlighted in the original guide through a dining photo featuring ENHYPEN's Jake and Stray Kids' Felix.
The restaurant is particularly known for yukhoe bibimbap, a Korean rice dish topped with seasoned raw beef and vegetables. Grilled Korean beef is another major part of its menu. It has also been advertised as a 24-hour restaurant, although visitors should check its current schedule before making late-night plans.
Paldang Naengmyeon: Cold Noodles with a Kick
Location: Multiple branches
Cold noodles might not sound like the first thing to order on a food trip, but they're a Korean favorite, especially during the warmer months.
According to the original Instagram guide, Jay recommended Paldang Naengmyeon on Weverse.
The restaurant chain specializes in naengmyeon, a chilled noodle dish served either in broth or with a spicy sauce. One of its featured combinations pairs the noodles with grilled meat.
Since Paldang Naengmyeon operates multiple locations, fans can look for a convenient branch while exploring the city.
More Than Just a Food Tour
What makes these locations interesting isn't simply their connection to ENHYPEN. It's how different they are from one another.
A traditional chicken soup restaurant, a stylish Hannam-dong dining spot, a neighborhood favorite from the trainee years, and a quiet hanok teahouse each offer a different glimpse of Seoul.
Some are connected to official group content, while others are included in a fan-oriented Instagram guide. You don't have to order exactly what the members ate to enjoy the experience; sometimes, discovering a new favorite dish is the best part of following in someone's footsteps.
Before visiting, check each venue's current address, opening hours, menu, and any reservation requirements.
