Super Junior's Kyuhyun: MOM House / Cafe


The busy maknae of Super Junior is more than what you think he is. Other than his singing prowess, sharp tongue, good looks, and populairty, he's a very filial son. Generous, and obedient. Kyuhyun, and his parents have ventured on various businesses. From KONA BEANS, to his father building a Korean Language School in Taiwan, to his parents putting up a guest house & cafe in Myeongdong, also known as MOM House.

Cho Family and Fans!
MOM House is located in Myeongdong, in an accesible site to places tourists would usually want to go to whilst staying in the guest house. It's a few steps from Myeongdong Subway Station and a 16.3 kilometer away from Gimpo Airport, (but there's nothing to worry about it's distance from the airport since the Airport Limo Bus Stop is just a few walks from there to.). From there it is also very convenient to go to other attractions such as in Namsan, Namdaemun, & Dongdaemun.


The guesthouse, according to those who had already tried booking in, said that the place is cozy, though the rooms are small, it felt like home. 

The fact that it also has a cafe (MOM Cafe Deete Espresso) in the first floor where someone could simply spend a nice time satisfying their caffeine craving is even more appealing. The cafe is indeed spacious, many customers wouldn't feel too stuffy inside since they have enough space to move in. With comfortable chairs to sit at, they can enjoy the time looking around, as several of Kyuhyun's photos and memorabilias are there displayed everywhere. It would surely be a total heaven for his fans to spend even a quality time in the said cafe with their friends, since the star comes in the cafe/guesthouse often, either announced or unaanounced. In addition to that, they have actually installed a big screen inside where fans can watch Super Junior's videos. Special limited items are also available, so you might want to check them out too.

The cafe serves organic, healthy, and tasty food and beverages so you don't really have to worry that you'll even get disappointed. The cafe is not only available for the guests who booked, but also for anyone who came by. It opens at 8AM - 11PM.



The guest hotel comprises of 6 floors with the 2nd to the 6th housing the 62 rooms for the guests & the 3rd and 6th floor with the shared kitchen where tourists can use their water purifier, refrigerator, microwave, washing machine (from 7AM - 11PM KST). Each room has its own toilet and shower booth. It also has a rooftop where a beautiful garden has been arranged--wooden benches are provided, so guests can actually use them to rest or just have a quality time enjoying the night view of N Seoul Tower. A mailbox is also provided in the floor, where fans can actually leave fan letters for Kyuhyun. Other than that, his hand statue can be found there too, and you can snap a picture of yourself shaking hands with it. :)
