This TXT travel guide starts with places MOA can actually visit: record shops, arcades, beaches and forests featured in TALK X TODAY, official photobooks and travel content. No company-building pilgrimage is required.

The most rewarding TXT itinerary is usually a mix of Seoul and one regional trip. Seoul gives you places connected to the members’ everyday content, while Jeju and Yeongwol offer locations that feel much closer to the visual world of TOMORROW X TOGETHER.

This guide focuses on publicly visitable places with a documented TXT connection. It also avoids treating private workplaces or unofficial sightings as tourist attractions.

TXT fan trip at a glance

  • Seoul: browse Vinyl & Plastic in Hannam and other public stops featured in TALK X TODAY.
  • Jeju: plan around Dodu Rainbow Coastal Road and photobook locations rather than a rushed day trip.
  • Yeongwol: combine Y Park, Cheongnyeongpo and Gossigul Cave when traveling outside Seoul.

1. Vinyl & Plastic in Hannam — Beomgyu’s music stop from TALK X TODAY

One of the easiest TXT locations to recommend is Hyundai Card Vinyl & Plastic in Hannam-dong.

Beomgyu visited the record shop during TALK X TODAY, browsing records and buying music for himself and the other members. Seoul Tourism later included the location in an official TXT fan route.

This is a particularly good fan stop because the place is still worth visiting even without the TXT connection. Vinyl & Plastic remains an operating music space where visitors can browse records and use listening stations.

Address: 248, Itaewon-ro, Yongsan-gu, Seoul.

Best for: Beomgyu fans, record collectors and travelers spending time in Hannam or Itaewon.

Practical tip: the store is generally closed on Mondays. Current visitor information is available through Hyundai Card DIVE.

2. Fun City near Konkuk University — Beomgyu and Taehyun’s arcade day

Beomgyu and Taehyun visited Fun City near Konkuk University during TALK X TODAY, playing arcade games, claw machines and racing games.

The appeal of this stop is simple: instead of recreating a still image, you can repeat the type of activity the members actually did.

The official Seoul Tourism TXT route listed the arcade at 81, Dongil-ro 22-gil in Gwangjin-gu. Because the original feature dates back to TXT’s early years, check the current business listing and opening hours before making a special trip.

Best for: Beomgyu and Taehyun fans, groups of friends and a casual evening around Konkuk University.

Combine it with: Seongsu or eastern Seoul rather than crossing the city for the arcade alone.

3. Café the Wal’z — an early Soobin TALK X TODAY location

Soobin spent part of his TALK X TODAY day at Café the Wal’z, a dog café in the Gangnam area.

This is one of the more personal-feeling early TXT locations because the scene was not built around a performance or a concept shoot. It showed Soobin simply spending time with dogs and relaxing.

Seoul Tourism documented the location at 134, Yeoksam-ro, Gangnam-gu. Because café businesses can move or close, confirm the current listing before traveling there specifically for TXT.

Best for: Soobin fans and travelers already planning a Gangnam day.

If the café is no longer operating in the same form, do not substitute an unrelated business just because it occupies the address now. The connection is to the original filming location, not the building itself.

4. Do not plan around the old Namyeong self-ramen stop

The official Seoul TXT route also included the self-serve ramen shop where Yeonjun and Hueningkai appeared in TALK X TODAY.

That location is now listed as closed in Seoul Tourism’s own guide. It is a good example of why fan travel information needs to be checked rather than copied from old lists.

For a current trip, I would skip this stop and spend the time at a place that is still open and meaningful.

5. Jeju’s Dodu-dong Rainbow Coastal Road — H:OUR by the sea

Jeju is one of the strongest destinations for a TXT fan trip because multiple locations from H:OUR and later seasonal photobooks can be combined into one island itinerary.

Dodu-dong Rainbow Coastal Road appeared in TXT’s second H:OUR photobook. The colorful coastal blocks, sea and open horizon make the location easy to recognize from the shoot.

The best part is that this does not feel like a location that exists only because TXT visited it. It is already a scenic coastal road, so the fan connection adds something to a place you might have wanted to see anyway.

Best for: photobook fans, coastal photography and the first or last day of a Jeju trip because it is relatively close to Jeju City.

6. Hado Beach — the Blue Sky chapter of Midsummer

Hado Beach on the eastern side of Jeju was used for the Blue Sky chapter of TXT’s Midsummer photobook.

The members were photographed in blue-and-white styling against the wide beach and open sea, giving the shoot a very different feeling from the more urban Seoul content.

This location works best as part of an east-Jeju day rather than as a single destination. Combine it with other beaches, cafés or scenic stops nearby.

Best for: fans of the Midsummer photobook and MOA who want a quiet coastal location rather than a busy city pilgrimage.

Travel-platform guide NOL World currently identifies Hado Beach as a documented TXT photobook location.

7. Jeju 4.3 Peace Park — a TXT location that deserves context

Jeju 4.3 Peace Park appeared in the H:OUR in Jeju photobook, including images of the members walking through a large green field.

However, this is not a normal photo spot.

The park commemorates victims of the Jeju April 3 tragedy and is a memorial space dedicated to peace, reconciliation and human rights. If you visit because of TXT, take time to understand where you are and why the park exists.

That makes this one of the most meaningful stops in the guide. The TXT connection may be what brings a fan there, but the historical significance should shape the visit once you arrive.

Address: 430, Myeongnim-ro, Jeju-si, Jeju-do.

Best for: travelers who want a fan trip that also teaches them something important about modern Korean history.

Official visitor information is available from VISITKOREA.

8. Oksu Cafe — the slower side of TXT’s Midsummer photobook

Oksu Cafe in Jeju appeared in the Apple Green chapter of the Midsummer photobook.

The location has a quiet, old-house atmosphere. Instead of a dramatic concept set, the shoot showed the members eating watermelon, drinking and spending time in a space that feels closer to a summer visit to a family home.

That makes it a useful contrast to beaches and large scenic locations.

Best for: fans who remember the softer, relaxed side of the photobook and travelers already moving through western Jeju.

Because cafés can change operating days or reservation policies, confirm current information before visiting.

9. Hwansang Forest Gotjawal Park — one of the most atmospheric TXT locations

The forest scenes from the JOURNEY chapter of H:OUR in Jeju were filmed at Hwansang Forest Gotjawal Park.

Gotjawal forests grow over Jeju’s volcanic terrain and have a dense, almost storybook atmosphere. That naturally fits TXT’s visual language better than many ordinary filming spots.

This is also one of the places where the trip itself matters more than recreating an exact frame. Walk the forest slowly rather than treating it as a backdrop.

Best for: fans of TXT’s fantasy imagery, nature lovers and travelers who want a break from cafés and shopping.

10. Lazy Pump — the red stairs from H:OUR

Lazy Pump in Aewol is another recognizable location from H:OUR in Jeju.

The café is known for its industrial exterior, red staircase and wide sea views. Those visual details make it one of the easier TXT photobook locations to identify in person.

The location works particularly well around sunset or as part of an Aewol café route.

Best for: H:OUR fans, café travelers and anyone already spending an afternoon along Jeju’s west coast.

If you are going for the café itself, check the current ordering and operating rules. Exterior access and indoor use are not always the same thing.

11. Sineomri Breakwater — the red lighthouse photo stop

Sineomri Breakwater appeared in the first chapter of TXT’s second H:OUR photobook.

The red lighthouse and open coastline make this a straightforward location for MOA who want to recreate one of the photobook’s most recognizable outdoor compositions.

Because the breakwater is exposed to wind and sea conditions, treat safety as more important than matching an exact pose. Do not climb barriers or move onto unsafe surfaces for a photograph.

Best for: photo recreation and a west-Jeju coastal route.

12. Gueomri Stone Salt Farm — a quiet Midsummer stop

Gueomri Stone Salt Farm is linked to the Midsummer making content, where Soobin, Taehyun and Hueningkai were shown fishing.

The area is also known for sunset views, so it works best late in the day.

This is a good example of a location that probably will not feel dramatic to someone who does not know the TXT connection. For MOA who remember the making footage, that is exactly what gives it value.

Best for: Soobin, Taehyun and Hueningkai fans, sunset and a slower Jeju itinerary.

13. Yeongwol Y Park — TXT’s IDOL 1N2D art stop

For fans who want to leave the Seoul–Jeju route, Yeongwol in Gangwon State offers another strong option.

TOMORROW X TOGETHER filmed an episode of the travel variety series IDOL 1N2D in Yeongwol, and Korea Tourism Organization created an official itinerary around the places used in the episode.

The first major stop is Youngwol Y Park, a contemporary art and cultural complex known for large installations including “Red Bamboo.”

This is one of the best regional fan locations because it does not depend on temporary decorations from filming. You can visit the same art space and enjoy it as a destination in its own right.

Best for: MOA who enjoy art, photography and regional Korea beyond the usual idol-tour stops.

14. Cheongnyeongpo — where TXT’s Yeongwol trip meets Korean history

Cheongnyeongpo is another stop from the official TXT IDOL 1N2D route in Yeongwol.

The site is historically known as the place where King Danjong of the Joseon dynasty was exiled. It is surrounded by a river and pine forest, giving it a quiet landscape very different from Seoul.

As with Jeju 4.3 Peace Park, the TXT connection should be the beginning of the visit rather than the entire meaning of the place.

Best for: fans interested in Korean history and travelers who want a slower countryside day.

15. Gossigul Cave — the adventurous side of TXT’s Yeongwol route

Gossigul Cave, part of the Gangwon Paleozoic National Geopark, completes the core official Yeongwol route connected to TXT’s IDOL 1N2D appearance.

The cave contains natural limestone formations and offers a completely different experience from a typical idol filming location.

If you plan to visit, wear practical shoes and check current opening conditions. Cave access can be affected by weather, maintenance or safety restrictions.

Best for: travelers who prefer nature and activity over cafés and photo spots.

Korea Tourism Organization’s official Yeongwol TXT itinerary connects Youngwol Y Park, Cheongnyeongpo and Gossigul Cave into one regional course: VISITKOREA — Filming Spots: IDOL 1N2D in Yeongwol.

Should MOA visit the HYBE headquarters?

HYBE’s headquarters in Yongsan is a working office, not a permanent TXT tourist attraction.

Taking a quick exterior photo from a public area is very different from waiting around entrances or treating the building as a place to encounter artists. Employees and artists use the building for work, and visitors should respect that boundary.

If an official exhibition, pop-up or fan event is announced at a public venue, that is a much better use of your time than waiting outside an office.

TXT travel guide: how to plan a realistic trip

If this is your first MOA trip to Seoul

Start with Vinyl & Plastic, then add one early TALK X TODAY location only if it still operates and fits your route. The goal is not to chase old addresses across the city.

If photobooks are the part of TXT you love most

Jeju is the stronger choice. Dodu Rainbow Coastal Road, Hado Beach, Hwansang Forest, Lazy Pump and Sineomri Breakwater can be organized into regional clusters rather than visited randomly.

If you want a destination most international fans miss

Yeongwol is a strong option. The official IDOL 1N2D route gives the trip a clear structure, and the places have enough value to stand on their own without TXT branding everywhere.

If you only have one extra day outside Seoul

Choose either Jeju as part of a longer island stay or Yeongwol as a dedicated regional day. Do not try to turn either one into a rushed half-day trip from Seoul.

A realistic TXT itinerary

Seoul day: Hannam and Vinyl & Plastic → lunch or café in Hannam → Konkuk University area if Fun City is confirmed open → evening elsewhere in eastern Seoul.

Jeju west-coast day: Dodu Rainbow Coastal Road → Aewol area → Lazy Pump → Sineomri Breakwater → Gueomri Stone Salt Farm at sunset.

Jeju east/nature day: Hado Beach → Jeju 4.3 Peace Park or another meaningful cultural stop → Hwansang Forest on a separate westward route if your driving schedule allows.

Yeongwol day: Youngwol Y Park → Cheongnyeongpo → Gossigul Cave. The official tourism route covers roughly 37 kilometers, so a car or carefully planned local transport makes the day easier.

Before visiting a TXT location

  • Check whether an old café or arcade is still operating before making a special trip.
  • Save Korean place names in Naver Map.
  • For Jeju and Yeongwol, plan the whole regional route rather than one isolated pin.
  • Respect memorial sites and historical locations as more than fandom photo spots.
  • Do not enter private workplaces or restricted areas.
  • Check weather before beaches, forests, breakwaters and caves.
  • Leave enough time for the return route, especially outside Seoul.

Use the practical guides before building the fan route

For navigation, read How to Use Maps in Korea: Naver Map, KakaoMap and Navigation Guide for K-Pop Fans. For Seoul transport, see How to Use Seoul Public Transportation: Tmoney, Subway and Bus Guide for K-Pop Fans.

If your TXT trip includes a concert, our K-pop concert and fan-event booking guide and late-night concert transport guide are useful before event day.

The best TXT fan trip is not necessarily the most famous one

TXT’s locations are spread across very different parts of Korea. Some fans will care most about the early TALK X TODAY places in Seoul. Others will recognize Jeju immediately from the photobooks. For someone who loved the group’s travel content, Yeongwol may be the most satisfying trip of all.

Choose the places connected to the TXT era that means the most to you, then give yourself time to experience the neighborhood, island or region around it. That creates a better MOA trip than collecting locations only to say you were there.
