The scene then shifts to the pair's apartment in Marina Bay, Singapore's premier waterfront district. This area is known for housing tourist hotspots like Marina Bay Sands, the Merlion and Gardens By The Bay—but it forms a melancholy backdrop for Jin's relationship to fall apart. The space, though cluttered with mementos of their shared life together, becomes proof of their estrangement from one another. National Gallery Singapore

The theme of hopefulness continues as Jin explores Gardens By The Bay, a Singapore landmark where natural light pours out over lush greenery. This urban park in Singapore is the perfect place to bring a date—the Supertree Grove has a dazzling light show, while the Flower Dome and Cloud Forest are not to be missed. Still, the space is not enough to keep Jin and Shin Se Kyung together. Anderson Bridge

Jin runs across the Anderson Bridge to escape the heaviness of his emotions, unable to find a better way out of the situation. Though the bridge is only 70 metres long, its neoclassical design makes it a memorable backdrop for Jin to explore the feelings of his relationship falling apart. Singapore Flyer

One of the last Singapore landmarks in Jin's music video is the Singapore Flyer, a 165-metre tall observation wheel that offers panoramic views of Singapore's breathtaking skyline. The pair sit with their backs facing each other, finally accepting their fate and looking to whatever lies ahead for them.

Louis Vuitton Spring Summer Men's 2026: HIEUTHUHAI shines with A-list stars in the fashion capital of Paris

As Vietnam's sole representative at Louis Vuitton's Spring Summer 2026 menswear presentation, HIEUTHUHAI received marked attention from the esteemed fashion house. For the occasion, he wore a rhinestone-studded denim shirt paired with beige wide-leg trousers, striking a balance between youthfulness and elegance. His look was accentuated by carefully selected accessories: the LV Instinct necklace, Monogram Chain earrings and Skate sneakers. The ensemble, reportedly from an unreleased collection, underscored both exclusivity and favour. With confident poise, a strong sense of style, and a front row seat among global stars, HIEUTHUHAI quickly became a focal point for media and fashion watchers alike. J-Hope (BTS) J-Hope arrived with the air of a true fashion icon—distinctive, polished and forward-thinking. He selected a brown check suit that blended timeless tailoring with a modern edge. A subtly lustrous shirt and pastel pink, diagonally striped tie added softness to the ensemble, while maintaining a structured silhouette. His refined brooch, silver hip chain and fresh white trainers lent a contemporary finish. The look was completed with a striking pink and white monogram Speedy bag, less an accessory than a declaration of personal style.

Chasing K-pop dreams: must-visit spots in Seoul for superfans

Yoojung Sikdang This humble Gangnam restaurant has become part of BTS's origin story. During their trainee years, the members ate at Yoojung Sikdang daily when their practice studio occupied the basement below. Owner Kang Sun-ja became a maternal figure, even appearing in their 2013 reality show Rookie King . Today, the location is filled with fan-created shrines—posters, plushies and heartfelt messages from ARMY worldwide. Order the Yoojung ssambap and dolsot bibimbap at the members' favourite table for an authentic taste of their pre-fame journey. Yongma Land Yongma Land is hauntingly beautiful abandoned amusement park that has become K-pop's unofficial backlot, where old rides create the backdrop for exploring themes of lost youth and fading dreams. Twice filmed their debut 'Like Ooh-Ahh' here, EXO captured winter magic for 'Miracles in December' and countless other groups have used its post-apocalyptic aesthetic. Walk among the derelict attractions, recreate iconic music video scenes and, for an extra fee, request the famous carousel lights be illuminated after sunset for truly magical photographs. Hybe headquarters Above The Hybe headquarters stands as a symbol of where Korean pop culture is headed next. Standing in Yongsan, the glass-and-steel Hybe headquarters serves as the creative epicentre for BTS, Seventeen, Tomorrow X Together and Le Sserafim. While the interior remains off-limits to fans, the exterior pilgrimage offers its own rewards, particularly during BTS Festa in June when the building's facade transforms into a celebratory canvas of logos and messages for ARMY worldwide. With its bold, futuristic design, this K-pop landmark stands as a symbol of where Korean pop culture is headed next. Ktown4u Coex The multi-level K-culture hub at Gangnam's Coex Artium is redefining fan engagement, combining shopping with hands-on experiences. The main floors house an extensive merchandise wonderland, while occasional fan events, pop-up stores and lucky draws take place during major comeback seasons. Time your visit during comeback season to access exclusive photocards and artist meet-and-greet opportunities unavailable elsewhere. Gyeongbokgung Palace Gyeongbokgung Palace, which dates back to the 14th century, was thrust into the global spotlight after BTS's televised performance for The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon in 2020. Dressed in contemporary hanbok, the group performed 'Idol' before the grand Geunjeongjeon Hall and 'Mikrokosmos' at the Gyeonghoeru Pavilion. Walking these historic grounds connects K-pop fans to the moment BTS brought together traditional Korean culture and global pop. The SameE MD Shop Strategically located across from YG Entertainment's headquarters in Hapjeong, the SameE MD Shop is a dedicated merchandise store that serves as the ultimate destination for Blackpink, Winner and Treasure devotees. The SameE MD Shop overflows with official goods, exclusive collectables and limited-edition items that can't be found elsewhere. While the accompanying cafe closes after June 2025, the permanent MD shop ensures fans maintain their connection to their favourite idols. Its proximity to the YG building attracts dedicated fans, turning it into a must-visit spot for anyone following YG's artists. Credits This article was created with the assistance of AI tools
