From lavish getaways to hilarious road trip mishaps, we're diving into which fictional K-drama stars would make the most unforgettable (and sometimes utterly wild) travel buddies, in this idealistic travel destinations.
Thailand
Thailand has to come in at number one, and with good reason. Not only, is Thailand the mother land out BLINKS beloved Lisa, who is a successful solo artist and member of the K-pop dominating band BLACKPINK, but she is also a frequent visitor to Thailand.
Lisa visited Ayutthaya in June 2023, sharing photos of herself in traditional attire at temples like Wat Na Phra Meru. Her posts inspired the Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT) to promote Ayutthaya’s sites, including Michelin-listed Kaow Laor Restaurant, recognizing Lisa’s impact on boosting local tourism. Since the Dojeon team also loves Thailand and some members have been to this site, this is our top pick. Lisa is known for her playful charm and big smile, which fits coming from the land of smiles, and we feel that Lisa would make this Thai experience something very special..
Palawan
If you are looking for that tranquil yet adventure-filled holiday, then actress Son Ye Jin, who you will most likely recognize from Crash Landing On You has said that she is always up for a trip to the Philippines to meet her adoring fans. She has previously stayed at the upmarket Dos Palmas Island Resort in Palawan, and looking at this gorgeous photo, it makes the Dojeon team just want to join her for some chilled cocktails, beautiful sunsets, and good chat.
Jeju Island
Imagine staying in Korea and escaping the high energy of Seoul, but also being able to breathe in the fresh sea air with the sun on your face. Sounds great, right?! Well, BTS's Jungkook usually gets to experience this when he visits Korea's beautiful island of Jeju, which is known for mountains, beaches, and countless orchards. For a laid-back, yet all things walking holiday, Jungkook is the ideal person to escape with, not to mention at the end of the night, sitting around the campfire, if he breaks out a ballad, wouldn't that make the trip even more memorable?
Utah, USA
The USA has, for a long time now, drawn tourists with the ideology that anything is possible, and for some, it is their chance to experience "The American Dream". BLACKPINK's Jennie has tried her hand at achieving this herself. In 2023, Jennie stayed at the very luxurious Amangiri Resort in Utah, sparking admiration among fans. During her break from their US tour, Jennie enjoyed the stunning desert landscapes, showcasing her effortless style and serene getaway. If you are after the more laid-back and tranquil experience, then Jennie could be your perfect travel companion.
London, United Kingdom
So I might be bias when it comes to the United Kingdom, however if I were to experience my home country with a K-pop idol, then I feel that SEVENTEEN's DK would be a great match. During his previous trip to London, he went all out when it came to all things Harry Potter with a visit to the very special Warner Bros studios. If you are after a more traditional vacation then DK could be the perfect travel buddy for you, and c'mon not to mention the good laughs and experience that you will for sure get a long the way!
Final thoughts
Depending on if you want a laugh out loud, spontaneous trip or your own taste of K-romance in the world of K-dramas, the options are endless with a wide cast of potential travel partners.
