Nice to meet you. I only work with Yudong, but I thought it would be difficult to manage if I wrote a long post using Yudong.
I started digging into Vangonic and started writing some articles.
As I am from Gyeongsang Province, I have always wanted to go to Seoul once a year and make a pilgrimage to the Holy Land.
This concert was scheduled for the first concert on Saturday, June 1st, so I went up to Seoul starting Friday, made a pilgrimage, and attended the concert.
The raw car also turned haha.
These days, I don't see much posts about pilgrimages compared to before, so I thought I'd update the current situation.
I hope that I can provide some direction or help to those who are interested in making a pilgrimage to the Holy Land in the future.
Since I didn't have a car, I mainly used public transportation and did a lot of walking.
And there were so many pretty places that I really wanted to visit, but they were all located in downtown Seoul and made my heart sing.
I ran through time and went through a popular course focusing on music videos and summer rain.
If I have a chance next time, I want to start at Yangshuo Bridge and go to the outskirts haha.
First, I will start by uploading the overall map and flow on the information sharing platform.
(1) Seobinggo Station Boarding Gate 1, Exit 2 □□□□ □ Running through time (wish)
(2) Northern end of Banpo Bridge □□□□□□□□□□□□ □ Running through time (Eunha)
(3) Hangang Bridge View Cafe Station □□□□□□□□□ □ Running through time (mystery)
(4) Baekbin Crossing □□□□□□□□□□□□□ □ Running through time (Yerin)
(5) Eungbong Station Exit 1, Exit 2, and Eungbong Bridge □□ □ Summer Rain Teaser
(6) Jungang High School
(7) Bukchon Hanok Village - World Jewelry Museum
Since I went up by bus this time, I started from Goteo and went around Seobinggo Station from 1->2->3->4->5 on the first day on Friday.
Since I had previously done courses 6 and 7 two years ago, I skipped them this time due to the route. (https://gall.dcinside.com/gf/4190232 Previous pilgrimage)
-------------------------
#01. At the end of Boarding Gate 1 at Seobinggo Station
This is a scene where Sowon is sitting with a suitcase. But I said in the previous review that it was blocked here, and it was actually blocked a bit.
It was difficult to go further back and there was a simple wall on the right...? This wasn't there before, but it seems to have appeared. The sooner you make a pilgrimage, the better.
The bench is gone too, but this is what it looks like now.
#02. Opposite of boarding gate 1 at Seobinggo Station
There is a scene near the end where Sowon runs out dragging a suitcase. This is the background! It wasn't much different. I think the difference is that there is a screen door.
#03. North end of Banpo Bridge
If you walk for about 10 minutes from Exit 2 of Seobinggo Station, you will reach Banpo Bridge and the crossing. Because it is a place where the actual subway passes, the barriers go up and down.
There was a scene where Eunha was flying a paper airplane up there. This photo was taken at the crosswalk leading to the entrance to Banpo Bridge.
#04. North end of Banpo Bridge
This is the scene where Eunha was standing here holding a bouquet of flowers. There are cars passing by, but there is a separate space like a sidewalk so you can walk.
As soon as you come up the stairs, you see this.
#05. North end of Banpo Bridge
I could see the train passing through the barbed wire fence I had just seen. Coincidentally, there was a train heading to Seobinggo Station in the same direction, so I took a picture.
In the music video, Eunha is shown looking at a train entering Seobinggo Station.
I walked to here, returned to Seobinggo Station, and then took bus 6211 to Hangang Bridge View Cafe Station.
After arriving, if you go down the stairs, you will find a long walking path with the Han River on your left.
#06. Han River Park walking path
If you go down the course just described and approach the water, you will see the calm Han River and the view. In the music video, Shinbi even parked her bicycle.
I even sat down on the floor. Now, the paved road had changed from gravel to rock again, and grass was growing on it.
I could also see a building that looked like Building 63 in the distance.
#07. Han River Railroad Bridge
If you face the 63 Building and walk out, you will reach the Han River Railroad Bridge. It seemed like I couldn't go up to the railroad bridge itself, but there was an overpass in front of it.
If you go up to the overpass, you can see the railroad bridge like this. It was impressive to see trains coming and going.
The music video for Siddal also started here. I remember the scene where trains were passing by in a line on both sides.
#08. Baekbin Crossing
If you come down from the overpass near the Han River Railroad Bridge and search for Baekbin Crossing in the direction of Yongsan Station and walk, you will find many alleys.
If you walk straight, you will come across a triangular Baekbin crossing, and if you pass by it one more time, you will come across the Baekbin crossing seen in the music video.
Likewise, a train was passing by and the barrier went down every time a train came. This is the place where Yerin ran out.
#09. Baekbin Crossing
There was a scene in the music video where a stop sign appeared like this, so I filmed it at the same timing. After waiting for a while, the bell rang and the circuit breaker went off, and it passed right away.
First, I ran through the time leading up to this point and completed the pilgrimages (1), (2), (3), and (4), and finally went to the Summer Rain pilgrimage.
After going to Yongsan Station, I took the subway to Eungbong Station.
#10. Eungbong Station boarding gate
This is a photo of the boarding gate at Eungbong Station. This is the background of the summer rain thumb teaser photo, and there are some differences compared to then, such as the screen door.
Since the pilgrimage period is very different from the filming date, it is both unfortunate and unique that things have changed over time.
#11. Eungbong Station boarding gate entrance
This is where Yerin took the photo leaning against, but the height of this fence has increased a lot. The waist-high fence has risen to the height of a person.
#12. The window next to the central vending machine at Eungbong Station
This is the location of the teaser photo taken by Sowon. The window happened to be open properly and the background behind it was similar.
#13. Eungbong Station boarding gate entrance
I don't remember exactly, but I remember Yuju's teaser.
#14. Eungbong Station Exit 1
This is where Eunha filmed her teaser. It's on the way down from Exit 1.
#15. Crosswalk in front of Eungbong Station Exit 1
This is the place where SinB took the teaser. As soon as you go out through Exit 1, there is a crosswalk sign and a crosswalk. Skip it once and then take the next elevator.
It's the right place. However, because this place is currently under construction, you can see a little bit of a difference. It was disappointing.
#16. Eungbong Station Exit 2 Eungbong Bridge
When you come out of exit 2 of Eungbong Station, you will see Eungbong Bridge, which leads to Seoul Forest. We took a group photo here. That's the background
It feels similar to Banpo Bridge earlier...
#17. Eungbong Station boarding area
Likewise, this is one of the backgrounds where we took a group photo. This is the wall on the way to the subway.
Up to this point (6), I completed my pilgrimage to Eungbong Station, and since I was nearby, I took a walk in the Seoul Forest and watched deer before returning to my accommodation.
When I woke up the next day and heard about the MD line disaster, I gave up.. I went to Hongik University entrance and passed around a birthday card and received some goods.
I went to a live cafe, took a picture of the entrance, drank coffee, and there was a gacha machine, so I turned around and got second place (I wanted to get first place and get a key ring, but I was disappointed.)
After looking at the photos, I headed to the concert venue.
The concert was held after GFRIEND Crossroads, where I fell in love.
But since this is the corona season and society is becoming non-face-to-face... I remember watching the concert online at home.
So, I promised myself in 2020 and 2021 that I would definitely go to a concert in Seoul someday, but I suddenly heard the disbandment announcement in May.
Since then, I have lived my life with the desire to go to a concert, whether as an individual member or as a unit.
But the moment I heard that VIVIZ was going on a world tour and that they were holding a concert, I was so excited.
Even though I was an asshole, I did my best and succeeded in purchasing the ticket myself, so I was able to be there even though I was on the 3rd floor.
I wisely scheduled the concert for Saturday, June 1st, and it turned out to be a happy concert with no regrets.
The seats weren't the best (because it was on the 3rd floor?), but surprisingly, the view was very good, and the view and protruding stage were also very clear, which was nice.
There was a lot of explosions during the finale, and the atmosphere, music, and members were beautiful and great. Touching..
As I was leaving, I thought there were so many birdies and butterflies. It may be a meaningless photo, but I still wanted to leave this moment, so I took it.
I also felt the gaze of the front row on the first floor. It’s really close, I’m jealous haha..
I waited for a long time to get home from work, but it turned out to be a time issue. I wonder if everyone saw me on my way home from work at this time.
Lastly, I was happy to see the other members I love.
As I mentioned before, I got into it a little late and never went to an actual concert, so I've never seen it in person.
That was a really big regret, a sad point, and something I regretted, but I was so happy because I felt like I had achieved Buddhahood in a big way this time.
It would be nice to just see the three of us, Bibiji, but with Yuju, Yerin, and Sowon all sitting in the back, I thought it made no sense to be able to see all six of them in one space.
For me, this was just the lottery itself.
I also thought that it would be nice if the 6 of us could perform on stage together someday.
I was really jealous of the people watching the concerts on both days.
Due to my poor skills, I couldn't reserve tickets for both days, so I only saw it on Saturday, and I was jealous.
Fortunately, I was able to see it with both eyes and ears.
The fact that I came to see someone I like and really want to see.
And the fact that we spent two happy hours relieving that resentment.
I went on a pilgrimage to the sacred place I most wanted to visit in Seoul.
It was a happy vacation.
