Here is your complete guide to BLACKPINK places in Seoul, including their favorite restaurants, music video filming locations and a one-day route you can follow.

Part 1. Where BLACKPINK Was Born: Hapjeong, Mapo-gu

1. YG Entertainment Building (YG 엔터테인먼트 사옥)

This is where it all started. BLACKPINK trained for years at YG Entertainment before their debut in 2016, and the YG building in Hapjeong is still the first stop for every BLINK in Seoul.

The building is not open to visitors, but the area around it is a popular photo spot for fans.

Address: 6-3 Huijeong-ro 1-gil, Mapo-gu, Seoul

Getting there: About a 15-minute walk from Hapjeong Station (Line 2 and Line 6)

Fan tip: Please be respectful. This is a working office, and the area around it is residential.

2. Little Papa Pho, Hapjeong (리틀파파포 합정본점)

A cozy Vietnamese restaurant that Lisa and Rosé have enjoyed, and it also appeared as a backdrop in the reality show "BLACKPINK House." It is close to the YG building, so it makes a perfect lunch stop.

Hours: 11:00–22:00
