◎ Travel information discovering the charm of Hallyu -
Seungkwan appeared at a Joseon-era fortress together with a band made up of members sharing the surname ‘Bu.’ The Bu clan is one of the three founding family names of Jeju, along with the Go and Yang clans. Hado-ri in Gujwa-eup, Jeju, where Byeolbangjin Fortress is located, is known as a village of the Bu clan. It is also a meaningful place in Seungkwan’s hometown of Jeju. Byeolbangjin Fortress is famous for its canola flowers, and the contrast between the black stone fortress walls and the bright yellow blossoms in early spring creates a charming landscape.
