BTS Hyangho Beach Bus Stop (Jumunjin)

📍 Gangneung-si, Gangwon-do • Oceanfront Album Artwork Destination

About This K-Pop Landmark

The BTS Bus Stop at Hyangho Beach in Gangneung was created specifically for the jacket photoshoot of BTS’s hit 2017 album 'YOU NEVER WALK ALONE'. Although it was originally dismantled after the photo session, local tourism authorities rebuilt the bus stop as a permanent installation due to overwhelming demand from global ARMY fans.

Set against the dramatic backdrop of the East Sea and soft golden sands, this is one of the most photographed K-Pop pilgrimage sites in South Korea. Visitors can sit on the wooden bench, play BTS tracks from the outdoor speakers installed nearby, and recreate the iconic album cover photo pose.
