Full Day Tour In The Soop BTS Ver in PyeongChang Filming Location

The heart of this day trip is the chance to step inside the PyeongChang house where BTS filmed In The Soop, then stand at the beach bus stop tied to the group’s album imagery. I like that the tour gives you time at both places rather than making each stop a quick photo dash.

I also like the practical touches: round-trip transport from central Seoul, an English-speaking guide, a rest-area snack and an official merchandise set for each person. Guides on different departures have run BTS quizzes and played music or videos on the bus, which helps turn a long ride into part of the outing.

The trade-off is the distance. Expect a 12 to 13-hour day, with traffic sometimes pushing the return past 9 pm, and lunch and dinner are not included. The tour also needs at least seven participants to operate.

• The house gets the longest visit: Plan on about 90 minutes at the In The Soop filming site.
• The beach stop is more than a photo prop: Hyangho Beach offers a walk on pale sand, sea views and time at the BTS Bus Stop.
• The bus journey is a big part of the day: You leave Seoul at 7:20 am and return to the AMID Hotel area in the evening.
• A few extras are included: Expect a snack at a rest area, official merchandise and, as a review-event extra, instant cup noodles.
• Food planning is up to you: Neither lunch nor dinner is included.
• It is built for BTS fans: You do not need to be ARMY to go, but knowing the group and the show makes the stops more meaningful.

Inside the PyeongChang house from In The Soop

This is not just a drive-by photo stop. The main draw is entry to the property used as the filming location for In The Soop BTS ver. Pyeongchang. You have around an hour and a half to look around, take photos and notice the spaces where the group spent time during the show.

For a fan, the appeal is personal: the setting connects familiar scenes to a real place. You can move through the site at your own pace within the allotted time, rather than relying on a guide to narrate every moment. That slower visit matters. The property is meant to feel restful, and a little time to sit, look around and take it in suits the place better than a rushed circuit.

Some fans describe the house as peaceful and say BTS messages left for ARMY add a special touch. Treat details like these as a bonus rather than the whole point. The core value is being at the filming location itself, in the same setting shown on screen.

The tour description calls the stop Phoenix Blue Canyon, while the filming property is referred to as the PyeongChang In The Soop location. The included entrance ticket covers entry to the filming site. Follow your guide’s instructions while you are there, and leave enough time for photos without losing track of the group’s departure.

Hyangho Beach and the BTS Bus Stop

Hyangho Beach gives the day a different mood from the house. The famous BTS Bus Stop is a photo landmark associated with the group’s album imagery, and the shore itself is open for a stroll. The tour allows about an hour here, enough to take pictures and enjoy the sea rather than simply step off the bus, snap a shot and climb straight back on.

The stop is often linked by fans with You Never Walk Alone. The beach’s white sand and broad water views make a useful contrast to the house visit, especially after a long drive. There are also other photo spots around the beach, so you can take pictures with the coastline behind you even if the bus stop itself is busy.

A practical note: this is a real outdoor beach stop, not a studio set. Weather can shape the visit, and the tour requires good weather to operate. Bring clothing suited to the conditions and keep expectations flexible. One account describes rain arriving at the site before the sun came out, a reminder that the coast can change its mood.

The bus stop has become a popular photo spot, so be ready to wait briefly for your turn if others are there. Benches have been added in front of it, according to one recent account, which can make posing and waiting easier. The tour’s hour gives you time to get the photo and enjoy the shore, but it is not a beach day with hours to spare.

A long ride made easier by the group

The schedule starts at 7:20 am at the AMID Hotel, 38 Insadong 5-gil, in Seoul’s Jongno District. The return point is the same hotel, with arrival listed for 8:30 pm. Traffic can delay the return until after 9 pm, so avoid booking a tight evening connection or a dinner reservation you cannot move.

The journey is a substantial part of the outing. One account describes the drive to the site as nearly three hours, and the round trip, stops and time at both locations add up to a full day. The bus has been described as modern and comfortable, with USB ports on some trips. Those details are more than a nicety when you are travelling for hours and want to keep your phone charged for photos.

The ride may also include BTS music or videos and light group activities, such as quizzes with small prizes. These touches are not the main reason to book, and what happens can depend on the guide and departure. Still, they can help the time pass and give fans a chance to meet others who have made the trip for the same reasons.

Guides named on different departures include Sarah, Cherry, Anna, Jaden, Mason and Jade. These are examples, not a promise of a particular guide. The useful point is that the tour has had guides who share BTS knowledge and keep the group on schedule. If the bus ride is long, a guide who can make it feel social rather than silent adds real value.

The group can include up to 40 people. That is large enough to create a lively fan atmosphere, but it also means you need to keep an eye on meeting times. The tour requires at least seven people to run; if that minimum is not met, the operator will contact you.

What the $138.97 fare covers

At $138.97 per person, this is a specialist day trip, not a cheap way to get from Seoul to the coast. The price includes round-trip transport, an English-speaking guide, the entrance ticket to the filming property, one snack at a rest area and one official In The Soop merchandise set per person. An instant cup noodle is listed as a review-event extra.

The value depends on what you would otherwise need to arrange. Getting to a rural filming site and a separate coastal photo stop on your own would involve planning transport between distant locations, finding the right places and managing the timing. Here, the bus and guide make both stops part of one organized day. For a visitor with limited time in Seoul, that convenience is a major part of the fare.

For an ARMY, the entry ticket and time at the house are the key inclusions. The merchandise is a nice keepsake, but I would not book solely for the gift: the exact contents are not specified, and the experience is worth considering on its own. The snack is also modest. It is described as a rest-area potato twist or Sotteok Sotteok, a sausage-and-rice-cake skewer, rather than a meal.

Lunch and dinner are not included. Plan to buy food during the day if you need more than the provided snack, and bring water or other personal supplies you prefer. The stops include time away from Seoul, so do not assume you can easily pop out for a meal whenever you like.

Who will get the most from this day

This tour makes the most sense if you are a BTS fan who wants to see the In The Soop property in person and add the beach bus stop to the same trip. You can enjoy it even if you are not ARMY, but the show and its references are the reason the house matters. One parent joined because their mother was a fan and found the tour enjoyable; the fan connection can be shared even when not everyone in your party follows BTS closely.

It also suits people who prefer transport and timing handled for them. The long journey is easier when you do not have to coordinate multiple connections, and the guide provides a point person throughout the day. If you enjoy meeting fans from different countries, the bus and shared photo stops can make the day feel communal.

It is less suitable if you want a short outing, a flexible schedule or an unhurried beach afternoon. The day runs from early morning into the evening, and the house and beach each have set visit windows. You will have time to look around, but this is a planned group tour, not a private trip where you can linger as long as you like.

Booking details worth checking

The tour uses a mobile ticket and confirmation is provided within 48 hours of booking, subject to availability. Most people can participate, and the meeting point is near public transportation. The listing does not provide detailed accessibility information, so check directly with the operator if you have a specific access need.

The cancellation terms are strict: the experience is non-refundable and cannot be changed if you cancel or request an amendment. If bad weather cancels the trip, you are offered another date or a full refund. If the minimum number of participants is not met, you are offered a different date or experience, or a full refund.

Should you book it?

Book this if the In The Soop house is a meaningful stop for you and you want the famous beach bus stop included without arranging a long-distance trip yourself. The strongest reasons to go are the 90-minute visit at the filming property, the comfortable group transport and the chance to share the day with other fans.

Skip it if a long bus day sounds like a chore, or if the beach and BTS connection are not enough to justify the fare. Before booking, make sure you can spare a full day, plan for your own lunch and dinner, and keep your evening free in case traffic delays the return.
