Summer Hotspots in Seoul
Summer in Korea feels cinematic when you know where to go. Prepare yourself to melt outside but freeze under the cafe air conditioning. Here’s your creator-approved summer bucket list.
Han River Summer
Most people know about this but it’s rare seeing content of people actually enjoying the pools at the Han River Parks. The Ttukseom Han River park is one of the cutest. The entry fee is less than 5k won per person, and you can beat the Korean humidity and heat until late hours. Go enjoy the pool, the breeze and the sunset at the Ttukseom Han River.
Content Idea: This is the perfect place to record a simple and candid “What’s in my pool bag?”, GRWM for pool day, or even a disposable camera photo dump.
Haus of WOOMUL
Take a look around the beautiful cafes of the zone, but make a stop at WOOMUL. It’s a newly opened cultural space, often hosting brand events, pop-ups and also is an “always on” cafe. So when there are no events going on, enjoy the free terrace and a good ice coffee with the best vibes.
Content Idea: It’s the perfect spot for outfit shots and fashion carrousels. Or even vlog your whole day and finish strong in a “Spend the day with me” type of format.
Waterbomb & Summer Festivals
If you are in Korea during the summer, you have probably heard of the famous summer festivals. Festivals like Waterbomb or PSY concerts are awaited by all the residents of Korea. Don’t miss the chance to go to the most refreshing event of the season... you might even meet your favorite celeb in the crowd—everybody is there.
Content Idea: You can never go wrong with the Waterbomb water pistol festival fit checks. But something that would be interesting to see is waterproof hairstyles and makeup.
Cheonggyecheon Stream
And lastly, the coziest place in all of Seoul is the small oasis of the Cheongyechon stream in the middle of the city. Summer is busy enough, but the calm aesthetics of this place is unbeatable.
Content Idea: Going during the day is cute for picnic style photos, and very candid for romantic shoots. At nigh, you can leverage the city lights and do some strong flash photography shoots.
