Things to do in Seoul in June
Here’s a list of cool things to do in Seoul in June that’ll make your trip unforgettable.
1. Enjoy Summer Vibes Along the Han River
June is the perfect time to visit the Han River (Hangang). The breeze is nice, the sun isn’t too intense, and it’s just the best place to chill!
Grab some fried chicken (Koreans love eating chimaek—chicken + beer—by the river), rent a picnic mat, and enjoy the sunset. 🌅
Tip: Rent a bike from Yeouido Park and ride along the river. It’s so refreshing and such a fun way to see the city! 🚴♀️
2. Experience the Dream Concert
Okay, listen up, K-Pop stans! June is when the legendary Dream Concert happens.
This is one of the biggest K-Pop concerts of the year, featuring tons of top idols performing on one stage.
If you’ve ever dreamed of screaming your lungs out for your bias alongside thousands of fans, this is your chance! 💖
Tip: Tickets sell out fast, so book early! If you can’t get a ticket, don’t worry—there are usually livestreams or outdoor viewing areas where you can still enjoy the experience! 🎥
3. Visit K-Star Road in Gangnam
No trip to Seoul is complete without a visit to K-Star Road in Gangnam!
This street is lined with cute bear statues representing different K-Pop groups (BTS, EXO, BLACKPINK, etc.), and you can even visit some famous entertainment company buildings nearby.
Tip: SM Entertainment, HYBE, and JYP are all within reach, so keep your eyes open—you might spot a trainee or idol! 👀

Imagine walking through a real Korean palace while wearing a gorgeous hanbok—sounds like a dream, right?
