  1. Hi @CallieP and @pixie0622 , it was my pleasure to tell you my experience. I do not want to leave Seoul , I think  I left my heart there.  The city is so efficient, the directions are well  detailed and the food is great. Yes, I have researched a lot and booked my day tours  (only the Namsan Trek and The HanGan River Cruise) via Trazy.com. The rest of our tours were via train and a lot of walking. I personally like Lotte since LMH is one of the models and I know the Star Avenue, Lotte Duty Free and Lotte Department Store are all located just beside the other building which is connected via basement of the hotel. The  hotel also has it's own exit from the subway Exit 8 Euiljiro 1ga Station which is so convenient for us to explore the whole city. It is also walking distance from the starting point of Cheongyye Stream which I personally love because  it's so romantic during night time and Myeongdong for shopping. In front of the hotel is the Seoul City Hall and the Library. We did't get to enjoy the oval which transforms  into a skating rink  during winter (JunPyo and Jandi moment) because there was a massive rally ongoing from our time of arrival till our departure.  Even the Gwanghamun Square was full of people and tents. 

    Here are my notes hope this helps: (this is from Euiljiro  1 Ga Station) Station nearest to Lotte :

    To Youeido Island which will lead you to HanGang Park (LOTBS) , Parliament House(City Hunter)  and Cherry Blossom Avenue . 

    Line2 Green Euiljiro-Ga 1 to Chungjeongno Station -Get Off Line 2 Transfer to Line 5(violet)

    Line 5 go to Yeouido Station Exit 3

     

    To Anguk:To Buckhon Hanok Village (Sanggojae -Personal Taste) 

    Line 2 Green Euiljiro 1-ga to Euiljiro 3 (get off line 2 transfer to Line 3 - Orange) 

    Line 3 Orange go to Anguk Station for Buckhon Hanok Village (Exit 1or 2)

    Walk around 500 meters straight you will cross a major road (just walk past it). The environment there has Korean feels since on the right are the UriJip (Hanok Tradtional Houses).  On the opposite side of the road is the way to Sanggojae (there is a pharmacy at the corner of the street before entering Buckchon -it's in Hangul and the color of the signage is green) .  There you can find lots of information officers to lead you the way to #43 Buckhon -ro 1 Ga gil (Sanggojae) house it's in the corner of  the uphill road. 

     

    To Gangnam

    Line 3 All the way to Gangnam Station same line (Line 2) 

     

    To Dongguk University (Namsan Tower) 

    Line 2 Green Euiljiro-1 ga to Euiljiro-3 Ga (get off line 2 transfer to Line 3 Orange)

    Line 3 Dongguk University Exit 6  

     

     

    To Gyeonbukgung Palace 

    Line 2 Green Euiljiro-1 ga to Chungjeongno (Get off line 2 to Line 5 Violet)

    Line 5 Violet - to Gwanghamun Exit 2 and walk 400 meters  

     

    To Namsangol Hanok Village

    Line 2 Green Euiljiro-1 ga to Euiljiro-3 -ga-one station only( get off Line 2 transfer to Line 3 Orange) one station only Chungmoro Station Exit 4 

     

    To Dongdaemun Plaza 4 stations away Line 2 Green from Euilji-ro 1ga Exit1

     

    To Naksan Park

    Line 2 Eulijiro-1ga to Dongdaemun History and Culture Park (transfer train to Line 4- Blue)

     

    Jeondong-gil Road (walk) from the hoel 

    Deoksugung Palace -(walk) from the hotel 

    City Hall -(walk) from the  hotel 

    Cheongyyecheon Stream(walk)

    Myeongdong(walk)

    Heojun-jae's house (walk) -Sogong-ro6 ga-gil

    just trek the Street  Sogong-ro from the hotel on your left is Hotel President (that's the Sogong-ro Avenue) , behind Hotel President is Westin Chosun (you're on the right track) , just walk past behind it , you will cross Myeongdong (going to Namsan Area) same Avenue) , walk around 10minutes and before the road ends there is an uphill little street on your left  which will lead you to the familiar stairs of HoeJunJae's house -if you will trek topmost stair you can see that the house is located along Sogong-ro 4 ga gil. 

     

    Goodluck and I am sure you will enjoy Seoul.

  2. Hi Chingus I had the time of my life last week. My husband treated me to a 5 day trip to Seoul . It was my first time . We're booked at Lotte Hotel Seoul and  we had the luxury of time to visit as often as we can the Star Avenue (lots of LMH memorabilia and his hand of course!)  located within the compound of Lotte Dept Store adjacent to the hotel.

    I was able to visit Sanggojae which was 2 stations away from the Hotel's subway station. I must say that among the Hanok houses in Bukchon, it's the most popular even the information officers are trained to give you direction in how to go there. I met few Minoz all the way from Costa Rica and also from India. I was also able to visit the Parliament House and I miss City Hunter on his fight for justice. On our way to the Han River , I saw the white beautiful structure poignantly located at the corner of the busy street in Yoido Island which was used in Episode 4 of City Hunter wherein LYS was sort of emotional because of his mom and Nana gave him a drink while watching the traffic. On HanGang Park  , I became nostalgic because of LOTBS , and it was so clean and beautiful with lots of people enjoying the spring weather and the food carts stalled nearby. I treated my husband to a Han River Cruise and while cruisin , "You are my world" by YoonMirae was being  played . I became sentimental again remembering JeonJiHon  because at exactly 8PM we witnessed  the fountain show of Banpo Bridge.  63 Building was breathtaking   as viewed from the Cruise. 

    I requested for a Namsan Tower view of the hotel and the management was so kind in upgrading our room to a higher floor  so we can have a good view of Namsan. It was so perfect. We trek the Jeondong-gil which reminded  me of the vet shop in City Hunter and the street is so romantic. I would love to visit it in Autumn.

    We walk through the nearby street and saw the Plaza Hotel which was used in BOF and not to mention the famous  oval wherein GJP and JanDi had their first winter date. On our way to Gyeongbukgung, we passed by Gwanghamun Square  and my soul got lost in KDrama again -the first time City Hunter set foot in Seoul  as an adult. 

     

    We visited Nami island but it reminded me of other KDramas not of LMH series, and the Garden of Morning Calm. There was a tree similar to Imja and CY's love tree and I can't help but sigh.  I wanted to go to CY grave but it was far from Seoul (I added it in my bucketlist on my second visit to Seoul). 

     

    On our last day I excused myself from my husband telling him that I will just stroll in the nearby streets to have a good look at Myeongdong at early morning, but the main reason was to go to HeoJunJae's house. It was a 15minute walk from the hotel. The location is located near the main avenue but it's uphill so when I was able to reach the house I was out of breath. It was surreal. I cannot hide my happiness.

    Of course these are things that make want to go back to Seoul  again , the Korean Airlines experience  was superb and not to mention the many wonderful  places we've visited esp  my favorite Cheonggye Stream. 

     

    My husband and his korean boss  were amazed on how articulate I am when it comes to "SeoulSearching" and how to locate the sites . Perhaps because of Hallyu wave and KDrama power. 

    l hope I will be able to see him during Autumn in Gangnam. 

    PS There are lots of Innisfree in Seoul and they have a cafe in Myeongdong . The coffee was great. Unfortunately  , prices are a little bit higher compared to other brands and no 10+10 mask on sale unlike Etude and other brands. But since it's LMH brand most of the presents I bought were from Innisfree. I asked for a poster but they weren't able to give me one. They gave extra free facial masks instead.

  3. How sweet of Minho in remembering  a  very loyal fan who passed away  more than two years ago. True to his facebook status at that time "I will keep on remembering you". I think most of his loyal fans love him because he really loves us back in return. I remembered the last time I saw him , we waited for 10hrs just to see him and when he was finally in front of us 5 meters away,  me and my friend were so starstruck  while everyone was waiving , jumping and screaming aloud. He carefully scanned the venue from left to right , up and down, and when he saw us not waiving but all smiles at him , he waived at our direction and smiled . My friend and I both look at each other and said : Was he really waiving at us?  We're pretty sure we were the one he smiled and waived at .. I will never forget it .I am going to miss hin big time. Thank you for all your wonderful posts and updates. Truly appreciated .

  4. @vangsweetie637 - hi Professor,  where are you? Everyone is in the  gutter right now . I am so excited seeing HJJ and SC in the bed- and hoping there is a continuation  of that lovely kiss from Ep12. Hello Chingus - i voted for our lovely couple today . I am hoping for a much longer and a cliffhanger episoode- and waiting for Wednesday next week seems to be something to look forward to.

    Hi @minekas RS is the given term whenever LMH acts in Faith like he wanted to kiss someone (pout like acting -and they made so many gifs out of these acts) and if I can remember it correctly whenever he wanted to "'moisturize" his lip using his tounge (lick his lips)   is another form of  RS (rice soup) too.  This is as far as I can remember 

     

    Hello, my first time to post here as a LOBSTER . I am following this thread since the time it was created by a familiar account @ilwoo_aein . I see familiar faces and @mythicalove you remind me of Sia or Awesomeduck during Faith Days . I can see that the professor is in the house too. 

    Like many of you, I am so surprised on how LMH acted so natural with JJH in this drama. During the first 2 episodes  it was like   "getting to know each other" stage because  there were some awkward scenes but nevertheless I fully enjoyed it , but on the 3rd Episode up to the 10th , they are so familiar with each other as if they're not acting at all. I appreciate how JJH is so natural  with her character and how the role is perfectly fit for her. I cannot think of any other actress who can portay her role perfectly. She also  looks like a walking doll and all the clothes she wear whatever style it maybe  and sometimes disgustingly horrible  for my taste- she can perfectly take it with grace and elegance. 

    As for LMH, waiting for 3yrs seemed like forever and I am so glad you  choose this drama as your comeback . Two distinct characters in one and your  ultimate reason Park-Jin-Jun why you chose this project  is just perfect.

  6. @teddydoobie  I am so happy for you . Surreal right?  It was a moment where you want to stop the time , and only you and him can talk  for hours.  The excitement even though you conceal it just kept on surging high,  up to the point thar you really cannot think  of anything whilst in front of him.  Hi five  my chingu,  for finally meeting the Namja .  I know the feeling. - the soft hand , the warm smile , and  husky voice still linger in my mind.

  7. Hi Chingus , Annyeong! I miss this thread , I miss the positive vibes , the jokes , the gifs , and most of all I miss my MINSHINNERs . I am sorry Minho and Shinye but I think I miss them more. The more I think how we made our lives connected with other because of you (LMH and PSH) make me smile ... This thread becomes my comfort after a tiring day ..and it became automatic to me to visit this thread everyday..every single day .I know there are many lurkers like me who can pretty much "relate" to what I am saying, This place is "home". I may not personally know you but does it really matter ?vShoutout to those who still believe , and those who are still hoping , please do not stop posting..please, this thread is my happiness... Shoutout to @faidaris , @jenniferG , @ittyBitty ,@maudy , @kymbwerleeD and everyone who are still active , kamsahmnida Chingus , I don't mind being delusional , it's ok .. And to fanfic writers , Mianhe but I cannot take to read a story of PSH with different partner other than LMH , and vice versa . So sorry but i just can't ... I admit being a Minoz and a FAITH fanatic , I have read so many fanfiction of LMH - him as the character and not the person .. I adore the stories inspired by his character and his lady love. BUT I have shipped LMH - the actor with PSH ... Only with PSH . And I know I am not alone .. MINSHINNERs are everywhere . And for us dear writers, please don't stop writing . Let us spazz together.. Honestly , I am hoping for an update everyday because it makes me happy . I don't know how many are like me , but your works really make my day . Please give us our vitamins... PS @purpleismycolor I love your fanfic ❤️ :x

  8. Annyeong Chingus! It's been a awhile. I have been MIA for so long. Mianhe . I am still mending a broken heart like many of you. I really like the words of KitKat on her blog and I do not want to plagiarize what she said. Just like in the song "there's no easy way to break somebody's heart" . First of all , I would like to express my disappointment to some who are pretending to be "MINSHINNERs" here in this thread. We know who you are. From the start, I have never liked your posts and I know that you have been trolling this thread for quite sometime waiting for the BOMB so you can make your moves ... I must say that you cannot sink this ship . What's in it to you if we are delusional ? Do you have a problem if we fantasize? What's wrong if we really have that FAITH ? There were so many things , interviews, incidents which led us to believe that something really good happened between LMH and PSH. I am not going to enumerate these things because MINSHINNERs are aware of these. It was really a good trip for all of us , and I must say I will keep on sailing. Why ? Because I really wish for the two of them to end up with each other. Hopeful ? Super!!! Don't get me wrong, I am happy that my BB is finally happy and he found the love of his life. I am happy that he is sincere and I must say the girl is so lucky meeting his beloved Omma and Noona . I am happy that BB, being the LMH that I have followed for 6 years is still showing his sincerity and honesty in everything he does. You can actually make a story in every picture of him that you get to grab on the internet. His expression , the way he carries himself in front the camera is self-telling and I have always adored him for being like that. And as for BG, which I have come to love and adore, she is getting beautiful everyday and I have come to follow her too and watched her other works as well . They are so PERFECT for each other and I must say I will continue to ship this couple even if they will not end up with each other , just like I shipped Rachel Mc Adams and Ryan Gosling of the Notebook. Second , I say this for the "visiting Minoz here in this thread (we know who you are ) do not be fooled with "Great Pretenders" who keep on posting negative vibes on this thread. Do not bash MINSHINNERs because the true ones who stayed to sail on this ship for the longest time do not bash LMH. Do not generalize and post to other thread that the people here are bashing our BB. Some of us are still grieving. Acceptance of a painful truth is hard to make into a reality. You go into process of denial, healing and acceptance . Third, to Starlight Angels who have come to love our LMH... from the bottom of my heart, thank you very much. The love you showered him is priceless and my respect to all of you is beyond words. Fourth, to our writers .... I know how you feel because after all "we are on the same boat"...but if you manage to recover please do not stop writing . We can always change their names from LMH & PSH to KT and CES right? After all, we have love them first as KT and ES. Fifth , to the grieving MINSHINNERs , please do not bash the real couple here and please do not spread negativity. In as much as we want Crown Couple to be happy in their "real lives" even if we are "not so happy about their happiness" let them be (even if we have to be honest on what's on our hearts right now please don't stop loving both of them just because they didn't choose to be together ). They are after all , just like us. To LMH and PSH , we wish you all the best in life and more success to both of you . Keep on reaching for the dreams you have wished for and We LOVE YOU . To all my co-passengers of this ship - Saranghae and you are all Daebak . All aboard!

  9. Dear Chingus Annyeong Haseyo ! Gwenchana? I am reliving Heirs moments again thank you for the long holidays. We are given another long weekend next week due to the Papal Visit here in Manila. So much was talked about the SBS Awards 2014 and 2013 , and all I can say is nothing can beat the MinShin fever after one year.Woohoo! it's real!! I watched the concert of BB last night from beginning to end- as if I was in Korea. Thank you very much Minozworld for the link. I was laughing, shouting, drooling (tight pants- to my satisfaction and enjoyment), and fangirling with the rest of the Minoz all over the world. The first that I noticed was the hoarse voice of BB. IMO, he was having a cold throat and his voice was not in excellent condition. I got worried for him at first and his voice became worse as he started singing the upbeat songs. But to my realization, he knew about it and what's good is he did not even think of spoiling the event and he sang to his heart content. He was enjoying the show after all, he is not a professional singer. He was there to have a quality time with his fans. The crowd was superb. They were singing with him, connecting with him most of the time and you feel the love and admiration. The venue was filled to the rafters. The concert started by the very famous LOVE IS THE MOMENT and BB afterwards emerged in the stage singing PAINFUL LOVE, followed by MY EVERYTHING and few more ballad songs. There was an interview, about 10minutes and he took off his jacket revealing his famous shirt with Choco in it (I love how he pronounced Choco plus the face expression - there is the underlying affection- envy much) and He just ditched the jacket somwhere in the stage which the interviewer quickly retrieved and put it in his lap. (I wonder where is that jacket right now). Since I cannot understand Korean, I guess I have to skip this part of the show except for the portion where he said a few lines in English , Chinese , Thai telling the audience: "Hello, how are you? my name is Lee Min Ho" ... Sawasdee .... He was really super duper cute. He is like a little boy and his laugh can make your heart palpitate. I would love to jump inside my IPAD since BB is really really handsome in person, and I felt incomplete seeing him on screen. There was something in his voice that can make your heart flutter. And there was the game, this was really really funny. Four lucky fans were called out in the crowd: 3 ladies and a gentleman. One of the fans was a Chinese and the emcee was having difficulty relaying the mechanics to her and he was really transparent he's having a hard time and BB could not contain his laughter. He laughed most of the time. The four fans were given a chance with BB with the famous phrase "Do I Like You?" ... When it was the gentleman's turn, I guess what he said was different and he embraced the gentleman, everyone was surprised and laughed. Then there was a curtain in the stage and BB hid in the curtain . Four fans were asked to guess where BB boy hid, there were four choices. This part was super duper hilarious!! The four men hidden behind the curtains were asked to dance and who have thought that the Choice No . 2 who danced like Michael Jackson was BB!!!!! I thought it was No. 4!!! I was really fangirling so hard, and I was grinning like a 3 yr old. For other hints, the four men were asked to say "'Do I like You " like a chipmunk and the fans were also able to hold the hands of the four men behind the curtain. Then , the four men started revealing themselves. Finally, when it was BB's turn, he got impatient and suddenly showed himself. Hahahaha....then the four fans were able to claim to their price , one is back hug with Minho and she was able to hug BB from behind too )envy much)... The other one is balloon popping via hugging wherein the first balloon was popped via cheating (the emcee was given something by a coordinator and the ballon was popped by the emcee from behind which was very obvious) . BB always being the sincere and honest man that he is, quickly rectified this "awkward moment" by asking another balloon to pop. Aaawww....so sweet of him. There was also a portion about the Gangnam 1970 movie and he looked so humble and shy when promoting the movie. A portion for PMZ was also included wherein he gave lootbags to lucky fans and he was asked to say " Water changes everything" ( oh my gosh fangirling magnified - am really madly deeply in love with his voice) . Oh, he was asked to dance too and he "danced well" but the drawback is after he was able to perform that little short of a showdown , uri BB was back to his shy 3 y/o self again, hahahaha.... Then came the portion of the upbeat songs initiated by " SONG FOR YOU" .... The crowd got wilder I even found myself jumping too... I got worried on his hoarse voice again this time around his voice was tired but when I looked at his pumping adrenaline and how he was enjoying what he was doing, I suddenly realized that only his voice got tired... He was really really enjoying the show.. Up to the portion of "Say Yes".. I truly enjoyed the live stream... This recollection is for the MinShin lovers who were not able to watch the show. I know this is not in full details but I just want to share to you my experience last night. Have a happy 2015 everyone !!! >:D< >:D< >:D<

  10. REPRESHhhj !!!ah Chingus I am so loving BB Jeju Air's new ad! Isn't he adorkable and cute ?! The CF has so much happiness overload!!Saranghae Minho Oppa .How could I not love this Man who is still very much a Boy ? Would it be nice if BG is the model in that Ad? It would have been perfect !! It would be wonderful if Jeju Air teams up with VISA for something grand to promote tourism in Korea.Both CF are awesome and the naughtiness of BG and BB were perfectly brought to life.

    I could not agree more to our Chingus that BG has a "good chemistry" with Go Soo who is "yummy and hot" too. He has that piercing and sincere stare which is very similar to our BB's-(just sayin). But there is more to BB stare to BG IMO - there is that flirting aspect , affection and admiration expressed through subtle execution. In Filipino we call it "swabe" which is the opposite of "pacute" (too obvious for comfort). P. S. BG love for flowers is becoming more and more evident. Her D&G look is so gorgeous.

  11. @acrybaby New Caledonia was sentimental to our BB since a lot of scenes in BOF was shot there. BOF was his first big step to stardom and a lot of his fans will always regard him as the great GJP. But due to tight budget , during the course of BOF shooting they ate hard bread a very far cry from the stellar character he portrayed . He pitied himself at that time and probably this is the reason he wants to visit the place again to enjoy and have a much needed respite. BB has a lot of earnings now and a "travel" with BG is perfect :x

  12. Annyeong Chingus >:D< Belated Happy Anniversary to KT and CES. ;;) Sorry I was not able to give my comments since I forgot my password. Being an ahjumma has a lot of disadvantages :D Our BB is getting hotter and hotter while our BG is getting sexier everyday. They're both irresistible and gorgeous 8-} I am excited for the 2 movies and I am dying to go to Korea so I can attend the gala. (Wish upon a star) :D thank you so much for the contributors on this forum. Thank you for the gifs , pictures and stories, you always make my everyday life a happy one. I feel like you are all my kids and I want to hug you all >:D< I wish for success for their movies and I hope that they have enough time to rest esp our BB. He deserves a break Starhaus :((

  13. Hi Chingus... Pardon if this observation has already been written but I cannot contain myself to spazz again. ;;) I just notice that the shirt of Minho on his trip to Beijing has almost the same "design" which ShinHye wore on her Bruno Magli event. It's just that BB shirt was done in a micro style while BG in a macro one. :x (I dunno how to post pictures though) P.S . Same page posted by @MariaP re: "wedding rings"

  14. @MadethV‌ they cannot be in a public place at the same time because they will be both "so obvious". @Mosquito Chingu thank you very much for the translation. From a Minoz point of view (pardon me but I was not able to save his previous interviews before "Heirs") , IMO

    Nowadays , he is not shy in talking about "what LOVE is" . :x There is a gradual transformation of a new Minho wherein he wants to convey the subtlety of a man in love. He is more open in answering questions about "personal feelings" which I find so amusing. The thing is there is a rebooting of him in the days to come as he unveils his new self to the world thru his concert. Transparency is always his advocacy and he answered all the questions throwned at him with sincerity and humour. Way to go BB. Do we hear confession in the days to come? =D>

  15. @meridian and @mosquito lemme give you a hug chingus. We are indeed on the right ship. MinHo and ShinHye are indeed our One True Pair because they share the same compassion, they're both caring not to mention their humility and empathy set them apart from others. They truly belong with each other . :x I am a Minoz for 5 years now and I followed any thread available (as long as it's English) pertinent to Minho, all I can say is he was brought up well by his parents. His good deeds and character are impeccable as per countless encounters with fans. As per ShinHye, need I say more? I am loving her everyday and based on what I learned from Starlight Angels, she is indeed a sweet angel adorn with so much kindness in her heart. :x

  16. After Gangnam Blues , LMH revealed

    that he wants to portray a "character that is sunnie". Is he actually giving us some hints on his next drama? He is always like that. During hibernation from one project to another he always gives clues on "his next project" . Likely, he wants a character opposite of what he has portrayed for the past five years: "Gu Jun Pyo , Jeon Ji Ho, Lee Yoon Seung , Choi Young , and Kim Tan - all lonely Namja who became happy upon meeting their soulmates ." Hmm... Does he wants a "happy go lucky persona "? ;;)

  17. Hi Chingus ! How is that only the posts of @‌maudy04 seem a "troll"? Totally the whole page is destroyed whenever she posts a picture? Is there something wrong in Soompi? B :(( Chingu yah please do something about it . On the lighter side , I am really loving the pictures of HRH ShinHye . She is a natural beauty and I love her cleft chin which is chiseled perfectly on her flawless face :x
