6 Bucket List Experiences to Try in Seoul, Korea

If you’ve ever dreamed of strolling through the same streets as your favourite K-drama leads or tasting every K-food you’ve seen in mukbangs, Seoul, Korea is calling your name. Ready to travel but not sure where to start? Here are six K-drama-worthy experiences to add to your Korea travel itinerary.

1. Channel Your Inner K-Drama Lead at Gyeongbokgung Palace

Walking through Gyeongbokgung Palace in Seoul, Korea feels like stepping into a scene from a Joseon-era love story. Rent a colourful hanbok, capture your main-character moments, and whisper “saranghae” (I love you) beneath the grand palace gates.

2. Visit Filming Spots from Your Fave Series

From Crash Landing on You to Itaewon Class, Seoul is filled with filming locations that bring your favorite stories to life. Visit Namsan Tower for those iconic love-lock scenes or take a peaceful stroll along the Han River parks, where many emotional K-drama moments were filmed.

3. Sing Your Heart Out in a Noraebang (Karaoke Room)

No trip to Seoul, South Korea is complete without a night of singing your favorite K-pop hits. Gather your friends, book a private noraebang room, and go all out with songs from BTS, NewJeans, or EXO. It’s pure daebak (awesome)!

4. Eat Like a K-Drama Star

Those late-night tteokbokki or Korean BBQ scenes you’ve seen on screen? It’s time to try them for yourself. Head to Myeong-dong for spicy rice cakes, crispy fried chicken, and sweet hotteok. You can also enjoy grilled samgyeopsal (pork belly), just like in What’s Wrong with Secretary Kim? Marsman Travel’s international package tours and leisure travel options in Korea can include food crawls — perfect for certified K-food lovers who want a taste of authentic Korean culture.

5. Shop and Slay in Myeong-dong or Hongdae

If skincare and fashion are your love language, Seoul, Korea’s shopping districts are paradise. Hunt down your favorite K-beauty brands, shop K-pop merch, and maybe even catch a live busking performance from rising idols.

6. Feel the Romance at Bukchon Hanok Village

End your Seoul adventure with a dreamy walk through Bukchon Hanok Village. The traditional hanok houses, quiet streets, and mountain views feel like a soft K-drama montage filled with calm, aesthetic, and unforgettable vibes.
