“V sat here”—and now, fans are flocking to see it in person!
A humble traditional market in Onui-dong, Chuncheon, is quickly becoming a hotspot for K-Pop fans after BTS’s V casually visited and posted about it on social media.
The V Effect: From Local Market to Global Attraction
Currently serving in the military, V has been spotted at several local places in Chuncheon, where he is stationed at the 2nd Army Corps. His latest visit to the Chuncheon Pungmul Market gained massive attention after he shared an Instagram photo of himself sitting at a bench in his uniform.
It didn’t take long for fans to track down the exact spot—under the Gyeongchun Line railroad piers, right next to an engraved excerpt from Chuncheon-born writer Kim Yu Jeong’s Camellia Blossoms.
“V’s impact is unreal—he visits once, and suddenly, it’s a tourist site!”
A Market Transformation in the Making
Korean netizens immediately started buzzing about the location, with many planning trips to see it firsthand. The growing interest has led to a major boost in Chuncheon’s development plans—officials have now committed ₩1.00 billion KRW (about $684,000 USD) to expand the market and turn it into a landmark.
While the investment was already in discussion, V’s visit has pushed the market into the spotlight, making it a must-visit destination for K-Pop fans worldwide.
A simple photo turned into a tourism boom—now that’s the power of BTS!
