June 12, 2019
My first trip to South Korea was a bit of a surprise. I had planned to go for two or three weeks in the summer of 2019, but because of a fortuitous event, I went for a week in June! (I happened to get up by sheer “luck” at 2:00 AM, the day that Jung Il-woo’s Fan Meeting tickets went on sale… and I bought one!)
So, with one week (June 2- June 10), one of the hardest decisions was to choose where to go… and I crammed as much as I could in every single day. This was my itinerary. In the future, when I have written about every place separately, I will create links. For now only the dates have links to a general post of that day.

Around Arko Theater… I decided on the Ihwa Mural Village and realized it was in the same stop as the theater! So these two would go great together!
