I visited The Social Club in Long Beach, one of the filming locations for BTS Jin’s Running Wild music video. It’s located right along Retro Row, surrounded by vintage shops, murals, and that laid-back Long Beach vibe.

I went with my ARMY bestie, who’s a proud Jin bias, and we made it a mini BTS outing. We started at The Social Club, the cozy spot Jin chose for one of his scenes. The restaurant has such a warm, relaxed feel, you can totally understand why he picked it. We ordered the garlic butterflied prawns, Fig & Blue burger, clam chowder in a bread bowl, calamari, and pasta. Everything was delicious, especially the prawns and the burger.

After lunch, we walked around Retro Row to the actual vintage shop where Jin filmed part of the video. We also stopped in front of the old theater that appears in the background of his scenes and took a few photos there too. The whole area has local energy, nothing flashy, just full of character and charm. It was such a fun little day of good food, good weather, and a few places forever tied to Jin. Long Beach feels extra special now.
