ON our Seoul trip, my daughter Blessie, a BTS (the South Korean boy band) fan, asked us to include a BTS tour in the itinerary. We did a Dae Jang Geum Park Tour and a BTS Tour. The park is an MBC studio set used to film Korean dramas depicting the Kingdom of Joseon (also the set of the music video Daechwita of BTS Suga). The tour included places where BTS spent time in their formative years, their entertainment company, old houses and dormitories.

For a non-BTS follower, it was a learning experience. We were joined by Swiss and Japanese tourists, and how they engaged in conversation with my daughter for their appreciation of the BTS music crossed cultural boundaries.
