Idols travel the world and experience a variety of cuisines, so when they recommend a restaurant, you know it’s going to be delicious. If you’re unsure of where to eat next, check out these must-visit restaurants, loved and recommended by your favorite K-pop idols.
1. Krap Pom
For Thai food lovers, Krap Pom is a must-visit, highly praised by BLACKPINK’s Lisa, CLC’s Sorn, and (G)I-DLE’s Minnie. Whether you’re a fan of spicy curries or delicious pad thai, this restaurant is a favorite among these idols for a reason.
2. Yeongdong Gyojip
After BTS’s Jungkook, ASTRO’s Cha Eun Woo, and Seventeen’s Mingyu (all part of the 97 liners) visited Yeongdong Gyojip, the restaurant became a fan hotspot. The owners even created a special menu set inspired by the stars’ meal. If you want to eat like the 97 liners, this is the place to go.
3. Golden Pig
BTS’s Jungkook could easily make it as a food vlogger with his love for delicious eats. Golden Pig is another one of his favorite spots, known for serving perfectly grilled pork. The juicy meat, cooked over a cast iron grill, will leave you satisfied and coming back for more.
4. Aghassi Gopchang
Gopchang (grilled intestines) might not be everyone’s favorite, but BTS’s Jin swears by it. Located in Los Angeles, Aghassi Gopchang became a go-to spot for ARMYs after Jin recommended it during a live interview. If you’re up for a culinary adventure, this is a must-try.
5. Mun Korean Steakhouse
Drop by Mun Korean Steakhouse, and you might just run into the members of ATEEZ. After their Coachella performance, the group was spotted dining here, making it a special place for ATINYs. Enjoy premium cuts of meat while soaking in the same atmosphere that your favorite idols did.
