Good morning, Gangnam! If you feel like looking for fresh bakery with natural fermentation and coffee in Gangnam area, Le Alaska Cafe is a pretty choice. The cafe has become a popular destination for K-pop star fans after a photo of South Korean K-pop group JYJ’s members Jaejoong and Yoochun were having sandwiches and coffee was widely circulated through social media.

After visiting Leeum Museum, I took a walk towards Itaewon. There are a lot of cafes and restaurants in the area and I found this “One in a Million” coffee shop in Hannam-dong area the most interesting. The cafe is in the alley of Hannam-dong area where there are small shops and unique restaurants. Then there is this entrance which looked like a parking area with a simple sign saying “one in a million” and some pink outdoor chairs.

While many coffee shops and restaurants try to run gallery/exhibitions/shops at the same time, very few do it well on both aspects. Miel in Gangnam is one of the few art gallery cafe I’ve visited that serves good food, offers nice environment and runs frequent art exhibitions consistently. It is a popular restaurant/cafe for many popular artists, including Tiffany Hwang of Girls’ Generation, Bae Yong-joon,Song Joong-ki, Big Bang, 2PM and Jun Ji-hyun. So you never know, there may be a good chance of running into some famous artists when you are having coffee here.

There are a number of coffee shops and restaurants identified as favourites of some K-pop starts in Gangnam of Seoul. They are usually a place to see and be seen, with an open view on the road side. Cafe Monday to Sunday is one of them. It is a favorite restaurant of TVXQ, Sunper junior, and f(x). So you may run into these k-pop stars there.
