In Gangnam, I visited Hyuga Cafe, the former second dorm of BTS that has been transformed into a charming cafe. The space preserves the history of the dorm, featuring decor, photos, and fan art that celebrate the group, giving visitors a glimpse into the place where BTS once lived and shared rooms.

I ordered a croissant topped with icing and fresh fruit like strawberries and grapes, along with a passionfruit purple drink (I can’t remember the exact name). It’s one of those aesthetically beautiful spaces where you can sit and imagine where the boys’ rooms were, how they shared the space, and how much energy and creativity once filled the rooms.

Hyuga Cafe is perfect for anyone who enjoys artfully designed cafes in Gangnam and wants to connect, even briefly, to BTS’s everyday life before fame. It’s cozy, thoughtfully curated, and feels like stepping into a piece of BTS history while enjoying a sweet treat.
