Day 10 : FNC Entertainment

Location : FNC Entertainment, KTO Gangnam, Dongdaemun, Ewha Women University
Date : 2nd November 2014

안녕...

다음에 내 시간이요. 자~이제 우리 남편 만나자! ㅋㅋㅋ...내 소원은 FNC Entertainment에 가고싶어요. 물론 CNBLUE's 정용화 거기있는데 그리고 궁금있니까. 그분은...사무실에 어떤 종류의 일하고 있는데...어디 있는데...어떻게 갈래...그처럼. 하하하ㅏㅏㅏ...난 stalker 아니라. 그냥 궁금있니까 알고싶어요. (It's my turn now. Let's meet my husband. :D My wish at this trip is to go to FNC Entertainment. Yes...because CNBLUE JYH is there and I am curious. I am curious about what kind of workplace he goes to...where it is...how to get there...like that. Of course, I am not a stalker. I just want to know.) Is my sentences correct? How I wish someone can correct me! Anyone??? 

So then we are going to Apgujeong Rodeo area. Ni kawasan orang kaya. Bila dah nampak dengan mata sendiri, baru tau. Once you exit the subway station, the environment is totally different. You can feel the richness and glamorous of this area. The buildings design are also different...it's a modern city anyway. How to get to FNC Entertainment?

Information :

 

Apgujeong Rodeo Station (Bundang Line) Exit 3. Keep walking straight and you will see the MCM flagship store. If so, then you are in the right track. As you walk down the road, you will see old SM Entertainment building (still under renovation at the time we are here) on the opposite side of the road. Keep walking straight until you see huge intersection. You won't miss it as it is the first huge intersection you will see. The intersection is also in front of Burberry. 

Huge intersection

Cross the street to the left side (you'll be at the right side when you're in front of Burberry). After cross the street, continue walking straight until you see Baskin Robbins. Turn into the alley next to Baskin Robbins and walk straight until you see Dunkin Donuts on your left, turn left and you will see JYP Entertainment. Walk straight until you see CU mini mart on the right and turn right at the junction. Just go straight on this road and you will the high building of FNC Entertainment. 

A huge poster spotted. It depends on whose comeback at the time of your visit

Finally...I am here! 남푠의 사무실에서...ㅋㅋㅋ

Yeahhh...I am here. BUT...the office seems quiet and empty. OMG!!! Today is Sunday la. Apa ke bijak sangat aku ni. Memangla aku tau arini Sunday. Tapi dengan harapan orang Korea ni kan workaholic...tapi sayangnya~~ During my arrival, there are only few oversea fans waiting in front of the building. By the way, there is no place for fans to lepak-lepak because it surrounded by office building perhaps. Those fans just standing in front of the building. FNC tak nak bagi fans melepak gamaknya. I just spend few minutes there as PIC is not someone into this kind of activity :D Lebur harapan aku nak jumpa '오빠들'. Maybe kena pegi lagi next time :D Just take some pictures and then we are heading to Gangnam Tourist Information Centre.

Information :

Operating hour : 10.00 am to 8.00 pm

Direction : Apgujeong Station (Line 3) Exit 3. Walk straight and the center is on the right, past the Hyundai Dept. Store

Why am I here? This is a new information center built in 2013. A two-storey building consists of 3 section which is all-in-one TIC that provides services on tourist information, transportation and accommodation, the Hallyu Hall (Level 2) and also Medical Tourism Center. 

From Gangnam Information Center, we are heading to Dongdaemun. Perut sudah bernyanyi keroncong bagai. All I can remember is we just take simple breakfast in the morning. It is no wonder  if at this hour we feel hungry. I plan to bring PIC to eat at  famous grilled fish restaurant recommended by forumers which Honam Jib but once again, this is Sunday so they close operation for today. *kempunan* Fikir dok fikir...teringat plak Pizza Plus. Dengan perut yang lapar, kami carik plak jalan keluar nak ke Pizza Plus.

It's easy to look for this  restaurant as the location is nearby the subway exit. As we are already in Dongdaemun, we just need to look for Exit #5. Walk towards Shinhan Bank which is just outside the exit and the restaurant is after two more shops. Pizza Plus is a fast food restaurant and I guess it quite famous among local people. The food also is good.

Now, our stomach have been full. We regain our energy in this cold weather making us ready for our next stop. Day is getting dark even thought it's only at 5.44 pm. Our next destination today is Ewha Women University. This university is the first women university in Korea. Other than university, this place is also known as shopping district as there are many choices of  goods and cheap.   

Information :

Ewha Station Line 2 Exit 2. Walking straight on the shop lots and the university is at the end of the road.

There's not so much to do here since it is getting darker and colder. I am a bit disappointed as I bet this place is beautiful during bright day. Again, luck is just not at my side. We spend some times hanging around the shops. The goods price is cheap and attracting, it just that I am not into shopping. Around 9.30pm we head back to our guesthouse. It's the end of our day 10.
