If you’re into K-pop, then you'll want to check outHallyu K-Star Road. It’s a 1 km stretch that runs through Apgujeong’s luxury shopping district, lined with giant GangnamDol bear statues dedicated to some of the biggest idol groups.

The name “GangnamDol” fuses Gangnam + idol + doll. In total, there are 17 bears, each themed after a K-pop group that’s left a big mark on the Hallyu Wave. You’ll see legends like TVXQ!, KARA, 2PM, Miss A, CNBLUE, Infinite, VIXX, 4Minute, Block B, FT Island, AOA, B1A4, and of course — BTS. Each one is decorated with logos and imagery unique to that group, making them fun photo stops for fans.

Even if you’re not a K-pop fan, it’s still a quirky walk thats easy to pair with nearby Cheongdam Fashion Street or a visit to Galleria Department Store. Along the route, you’ll also find major entertainment agencies like Hook, Starship, FNC, Fantagio, and Around Us Entertainment.

Tip: Start at Exit 2, walk the bear-lined stretch, pop into GangnamDol Haus at Exit 7 for souvenirs, then keep going into Cheongdam .
