EXO's Chanyeol: CHAN by Hikoco (찬바이히코코)

9:28 AM

Howdy! Been a long while since the last K-travel post we had here on the blog, but miss me no more! Today's another day and another post to read on from yours truly, me me and me!

Anyway, since I am coming here to have a new start, I planned on featuring another idol stop! Guess What? *drum roll* Ladies and gentlemen, our latest feature will be another place owned by EXO's Park Chanyeol's family: CHAN by Hikoco! Hooray! *clap* *clap*. Sorry for the silly and exceptionally cheesy introduction, but let us begin. :)

Welcome to CHAN by Hikoco!
Here's the building (called 'Make A Good World') where Chanyeol's father's hamburger restaurant, CHAN by Hikoco is located at. At night it also highlights a performance cafe that serves avenue for good live music (from 8:30  to 11:30 PM KST). To all the fans out there, this is just one of two establishments that the Park family owns (the other one is Viva Polo).

 As a mini preview, the shop itself is a mixture of hippie, artsy and trendy style. There are tables and chairs set up where you can cozy up, keyboard, drums, guitar set in front for the live band performances, a bar at the side, you also have that fantastic menu with mouth-watering food that'll be served to you.
Check out the inside of the shop! Surely, you can't help but picture yourself being there, right?! Am I already getting to you? Visit and you might meet the owner and his son! ^^
Slick design right there, unique wall painting that'll definitely stimulate your creative brain, a collection of all types of tables and chairs, good ambiance that is perfect for chilling out at night.
You will surely enjoy the spirits and snacks that they will serve during open hours (do not forget that they are closed at Sundays) and at some weekends you could visit for the open mic performances. This will definitely be a total heaven for PCY fans since the vibe inside will surely make you feel closer and personal with Chanyeol and his family. Be sure not to miss it out on your visit and make sure to have it in your itinerary. Who knows? You might get a good glimpse of the star himself!

Hopefully when you visit, you will see this music genius!
Anyway, according to fans who had been there, food was great (although it might be a bit expensive and you have a very tight budget--still prices were said to be the standard when it came to pricing in the city), staff inside were really nice, and the performances were really to look forward to. So, if you simply want to chill at night with a mug of beer in hand or maybe with some fries to much on, please do check out CHAN by Hikoco!

You can of course check out the other treats in the store such as:

EXO's Chanyeol: VIVA POLO

6:24 PM


Everyone have been going crazy about the new craze in Kpop, EXO! If you're a fan, of course you want to know everything about them, right? Including their family, friends, school, and even the businesses that they are involved at!

I found this one the other day. It's actually about the member Park Chanyeol, and the Italian Restaurant that his mother owns, called VIVA POLO.


VIVA POLO, is one cozy Italian Restaurant where EXO's fans can actually have quality time together. They can eat leisurely inside while looking at Chanyeol's and his sister, Yura's photos,  old and new. In fact, most of the childhood photos of Chanyeol that we see are said to be from the pictures in this place! There are also the pictures that are drawn by fans from all over the world. There is also a corner in the restaurant where real autographs of the EXO members are posted. Surely a total heaven for fans!


Chanyeol in Viva Polo!



The restaurant obviously serves Italian food, but much to everyone's delight, they can actually try the special recommendation written by Chanyeol himself in their menu. A variety of Italian pizza, pasta, risotto, and salad with a slight mix of Korean flavor can be expected from them.

Kimchi Arabiatta Pasta - is the food that Chanyeol recommended!

Many goers said that the service in the restaurant is pretty good and that the servings are large even though it's a little expensive, Food is very much likely delicious, and many people said that their pizza and salads are a must try!

*I know you're craving to go there after seeing all that, so here's how you can get to VIVA POLO:
