A Stray Kids pilgrimage in Korea is easier to plan than it may first seem. The group’s story is connected to several very different kinds of places: agency landmarks in Seoul, music-video locations, historical filming sets, variety-show destinations and, more recently, an official Busan travel route linked to I.N.
For STAYs, that gives you a choice. You can keep the trip inside Seoul, build a filming-location day around Gyeonggi, or make Busan the main destination and follow the group through a city with a personal connection to I.N.
This guide focuses on publicly visitable places with a clear Stray Kids connection. Workplaces, schools and private neighborhoods are treated carefully, and where a location is best viewed only from public space, the guide says so.
1. JYP Entertainment — the agency connection, with boundaries
Stray Kids are one of JYP Entertainment’s flagship artists, and the company’s Seoul headquarters is one of the most obvious places STAYs think about visiting.
The current headquarters is at 205, Gangdong-daero, Gangdong-gu, Seoul. Seoul’s official tourism guide continues to list JYP Entertainment as the agency of Stray Kids, TWICE, ITZY, NMIXX and other artists.
The important part is understanding what kind of stop this is. JYP is an active office building, not a museum. Seeing the exterior from public space and taking a quick photo is fine, but fans should avoid blocking the sidewalk, waiting around entrances or interfering with employees and artists coming and going.
Address: 205, Gangdong-daero, Gangdong-gu, Seoul.
Best for: first-time STAYs who want one agency-related stop while exploring eastern Seoul.
Official reference: Visit Seoul — JYP Entertainment Headquarters.
2. Yeouido Hangang Park — the “S-Class” Han River atmosphere
“S-Class” is full of large-scale Seoul imagery, and the Han River is one of the places most closely associated with the music video’s city-night atmosphere.
Yeouido Hangang Park is a good STAY stop because it is easy to reach, free to enter and worth visiting even without the filming connection. You can walk along the river, rent a bicycle, eat convenience-store ramyeon or stay until the skyline lights come on.
This is the kind of location where the atmosphere matters more than finding one exact camera angle. Production setups, floating stages and temporary structures disappear after filming; the river view does not.
Best for: “S-Class” fans, sunset, evening walks and a low-stress Seoul fan stop.
Combine it with: The Hyundai Seoul, Yeouido Park or a picnic by the river.
3. Yongin Dae Jang Geum Park — “Walkin On Water” in a Joseon-era setting
Yongin Dae Jang Geum Park is one of the strongest Stray Kids filming destinations because it is already designed for visitors.
The historical drama complex was used for the “Walkin On Water” music video, where traditional architecture and contemporary styling create the contrast that gives the video much of its visual identity.
Unlike a temporary street set, the park contains permanent Joseon-style streets, courtyards and palace sets used in Korean television productions. That means you can spend several hours exploring instead of traveling to Yongin for one wall or doorway.
Address: 25, Yongcheon Drama-ro, Baegam-myeon, Cheoin-gu, Yongin-si, Gyeonggi-do.
Best for: “Walkin On Water” fans, historical sets and travelers who want a half-day destination outside Seoul.
Check current opening hours before leaving Seoul. The park is large, so comfortable shoes matter.
4. Korean Folk Village — a Stray Kids variety-content stop
Korean Folk Village in Yongin appeared in Stray Kids content and is another example of a fan location that has enough substance to justify the journey on its own.
The village recreates traditional Korean architecture and everyday life, with houses, performances, crafts and seasonal events. If you enjoy the group’s variety content, the connection gives the visit an extra layer without turning the whole day into a photo hunt.
Address: 90, Minsokchon-ro, Giheung-gu, Yongin-si, Gyeonggi-do.
Best for: families, first-time Korea visitors and STAYs who want a cultural attraction as well as a filming connection.
If you are already making a Yongin day trip, this can be paired more realistically with other nearby attractions than with a return to central Seoul between stops.
5. N Seoul Tower — a recognizable Stray Kids variety location
N Seoul Tower has appeared in Stray Kids content, including the group’s Future Diary series. It is also one of the easiest fan locations to add to a first Seoul trip because you are likely to consider visiting Namsan anyway.
The value here is not one exact screen capture. It is the chance to connect a familiar piece of Stray Kids content with one of the city’s most recognizable viewpoints.
Address: 105, Namsangongwon-gil, Yongsan-gu, Seoul.
Best for: first-time visitors, night views and STAYs who want a simple fan stop without a long detour.
Allow extra time for the uphill route, shuttle or cable-car queues depending on how you approach the tower.
6. Nami Island — an older Stray Kids content destination
Nami Island in Gangwon has been used in Stray Kids variety content and remains one of Korea’s most established day-trip destinations.
This is a better choice for fans who want a full travel day rather than a single filming location. Tree-lined paths, bicycle rentals and seasonal scenery make the island worth visiting even if you only remember the Stray Kids connection after you arrive.
Best for: fall foliage, winter scenery, couples or groups of friends and fans who enjoy older group content.
Nami Island requires transport out of Seoul plus a ferry or zip-wire entry option, so do not schedule it between city appointments.
7. Incheon Asiad Main Stadium — recent concert memories for STAYs
Incheon Asiad Main Stadium has become part of Stray Kids’ recent large-scale concert history in Korea.
Korea Tourism Organization notes that the stadium has hosted world-tour concerts by both Stray Kids and SEVENTEEN. For a fan who attended a show there—or followed it from another country—the venue can hold a different kind of significance from an MV location.
Best for: concert-history fans and travelers already spending time in Incheon.
On ordinary days, stadium access may be limited. Treat it as a working event venue rather than expecting a permanent Stray Kids display.
8. Busan Songdo Beach — the start of the official 2026 Stray Kids Busan route
In 2026, Korea Tourism Organization launched a B.I.A.S. travel campaign built around Stray Kids in Busan. That makes Busan especially useful for STAYs because the route is not based only on fan speculation; it is an official K-pop tourism itinerary.
Songdo Beach is the first stop. The beach combines city views and open water, making it an easy introduction to the southern coast.
Best for: first-time Busan visitors and STAYs who want to follow the official Stray Kids route.
Official route: VISITKOREA — Be In Artists’ Scenes: Stray Kids.
9. Busan Air Cruise — see Songdo from above
The Busan Air Cruise cable car crosses above the water near Songdo and is the second major stop on the official Stray Kids Busan itinerary.
This is one of the easiest places on the route to turn into an actual experience. Instead of reproducing a photo, you are seeing the coastline from above and building your own memory of the city.
Best for: ocean views, sunset and travelers who prefer experiences over static filming locations.
Check weather and operating conditions before going, especially on windy days.
10. Bupyeong Kkangtong Market — Stray Kids route meets Busan street food
Bupyeong Kkangtong Market is included in the official Stray Kids Busan route and gives the day something every good fan itinerary needs: food.
The market is known for street snacks and a lively evening atmosphere. It is also close enough to central Busan attractions that you do not have to dedicate a whole day to the stop.
Best for: food-focused STAYs, night-market atmosphere and a route that also includes Nampo or Jagalchi.
Rather than looking for one “Stray Kids dish,” go for the market experience itself. Vendors and menus change, and that is part of the point.
11. Gamcheon Culture Village — the most photogenic stop on the official Busan route
Gamcheon Culture Village is one of Busan’s best-known visual landmarks, with steep lanes, colorful houses and viewpoints over the hillside neighborhood.
Korea Tourism Organization included it in the Stray Kids B.I.A.S. itinerary, making it an obvious STAY stop if you are already in the city.
Best for: photography, first-time Busan visitors and a route that combines K-pop with one of the city’s signature neighborhoods.
Gamcheon is also a residential area. Keep voices down, follow posted visitor routes and do not enter private stairways or homes for photos.
12. Sujeong-dong, Dong-gu — the I.N hometown connection
The most personal stop on the official Busan itinerary is Sujeong-dong in Dong-gu, which the campaign connects with I.N’s childhood memories.
This is not a single fan attraction with a ticket desk or photo zone. It is a real neighborhood, and that changes how you should visit.
If the hometown connection matters to you, walk through the public streets respectfully and use the visit as a reason to see another side of Busan. Do not search for private homes, schools or family addresses.
Best for: I.N fans who value the hometown story more than a staged photo opportunity.
13. Gwangalli Beach — a lighter member-related Busan stop
Gwangalli Beach is associated with Stray Kids through member social-media visits and has long been popular with fans looking for Busan locations connected to the group.
The beach’s real attraction is the view of Gwangan Bridge, especially after dark. If you are already building a Stray Kids Busan trip, it is one of the easiest extra stops to justify.
Best for: night views, cafés and a relaxed final stop after a day of sightseeing.
Gwangalli works best as a city experience in its own right rather than as a place to recreate one exact social-media angle.
14. Jungang High School — an MV connection that requires restraint
Seoul’s Jungang High School is associated with the music video for “Mixtape: On Track” / “Even a Fool Knows” fan-location discussions. The historic campus is visually distinctive and often appears in Korean screen productions.
But this is a functioning school. That means the right way to treat it is very different from a café or public park.
Do not enter school grounds unless public access is explicitly permitted. If you are in the Bukchon area, the exterior and surrounding streets can be seen from public space without interfering with students.
Best for: fans already visiting Bukchon who understand that a school is not a fan attraction.
How to choose your Stray Kids route
If this is your first STAY trip to Seoul
Keep it simple: JYP exterior → Yeouido Hangang Park → N Seoul Tower. These stops give you an agency connection, a music-video atmosphere and a variety-content location without spending the day on long transfers.
If music-video locations matter most
Plan a separate Yongin day around Dae Jang Geum Park. Add another Gyeonggi attraction only if the transport makes sense; do not try to force every filming site into one day.
If I.N is your bias
Busan is the obvious choice. The official 2026 route gives you Songdo, the cable car, Bupyeong Market, Gamcheon and Sujeong-dong in one city.
If you want a trip that feels like Korea, not just K-pop
Choose Korean Folk Village, Nami Island or the Busan route. Each gives you something substantial to experience even when the Stray Kids connection is only one part of the day.
A realistic one-day Seoul STAY itinerary
Morning: JYP Entertainment exterior in Gangdong.
Afternoon: move toward central Seoul and spend time around Namsan or another neighborhood on your list.
Evening: finish at Yeouido Hangang Park when the skyline lights come on.
This route deliberately leaves gaps. Seoul travel becomes tiring when every hour is built around another screenshot.
A realistic two-day Stray Kids Busan itinerary
Day 1: Songdo Beach → Busan Air Cruise → Gamcheon Culture Village → Bupyeong Kkangtong Market.
Day 2: Dong-gu and Sujeong-dong area → central Busan → Gwangalli Beach at night.
The official B.I.A.S. campaign runs through November 2026, but destinations themselves have their own operating rules. Check current details even if you are following the campaign map.
What I would not recommend
Do not turn JYP’s entrances into a waiting area. Do not search for member homes or family addresses. Do not enter school property, redevelopment sites, closed filming sets or abandoned buildings because an old fan map says a video was filmed there.
Stray Kids have filmed in many temporary and industrial locations. Some are unsafe, demolished or simply not meant for visitors. A good STAY trip should prioritize places that welcome you.
Before visiting a Stray Kids location
- Save the Korean place name and address in Naver Map.
- Check current opening hours for parks, attractions and cable cars.
- Confirm whether a filming location is actually open to visitors.
- Keep workplace and school visits to public areas only.
- For Yongin or Nami Island, check the final return connection before leaving Seoul.
- For Busan, group stops by neighborhood rather than trying to cross the city repeatedly.
- Respect residential areas, especially hometown-related stops.
Plan the practical side before the pilgrimage
For getting around, use our Korea map-app guide and Seoul public transportation guide. If you are traveling for a show, our late-night concert transport guide is worth checking before event day.

The best STAY trip does not need every filming location
Stray Kids have created enough music videos, shows and travel content that a fan could fill a map with dozens of locations. The better question is which places will still feel meaningful after you arrive.
For one STAY, that may be watching the Han River at night after thinking about “S-Class.” For another, it may be walking through a historical set from “Walkin On Water.” For an I.N fan, Busan may matter most because the city adds a personal story that no Seoul filming set can replace.
Choose that kind of place first. The rest of the itinerary will be easier to build around it.
