The BTS Bus Stop is located next to Jumunjinhaebyeon Beach in Gangneung and was created specially for album jacket filming. While the original bus stop was pulled down after filming, the popularity of BTS on an international scale led the city to reinstall the bus stop as a tourist attraction.

Jumunjin Beach is located in the northernmost part of Gangneung, and is a great place for summertime family vacations due to the beach’s shallow water. The sound of calm waves will chase the heat away, while the dense pine forest provides cool shade against the sun. Visitors can take advantage of the amenities along the beach as well, such as the forest fitness park, family hotels, and the nearby campsite.

Follow the coastal road north of Gangneung to reach the white lighthouse at the end of the hill in Jumunjin. Beyond the lighthouse is Sodol Adeul Rock Park, boasting beautiful and unique rock formations sculpted by wind and waves. The first thing that greets the visitors as they approach from the road is a sharp and angular black rock formation that resembles a bull, followed by other rocks that take on the shape of elephants and many other shapes. Sodolbawi Rock was originally underwater before rising to the surface due to tectonic movements during the Jurassic Period 150 million years ago. It is home to a legend where an old couple prayed for 100 days to conceive a son, and thus a famous spot visited by many newlyweds.
