“Feel yourself as KPOP star for a day in Yongma Land”
Yongma Land, a closed amusement park at the east end of Seoul, is like a hidden gem of the capital, to be discovered by only those with knowing eyes.
Since then the place has been featured in numerous music videos and album covers for K-pop singers including EXO, BTS, and GOT7, as well as a shooting place for dramas and films, attracting global K-pop and K-drama fans.
Through the photos posted and shared on social media, all sorts of artsy people visit the place, even couples looking for creative wedding photos.
“Photography, as we all know, is not real at all. It is an illusion of reality with which we create our own private world.”
“Photography is a way of feeling, of touching, of loving. What you have caught on film is captured forever… It remembers little things, long after you have forgotten everything.”
“What I like about photographs is that they capture a moment that’s gone forever, impossible to reproduce.”
A photograph is your time machine
“The world is always running away from society and the only way to keep the stuff that’s happened in the past is by taking photographs, I can keep memories of things alive with photographs,” Alecto responded. “People say that the time machine can’t be invented, but they’ve already invented a device that can stop time, photographs are the world’s first-time machines.”
Taking the time to take real photographs can enhance your travel experience in several ways:
1) Photography makes you more aware of your surroundings.
Once you begin looking for photos, you see much more of the world than if you are just walking through it.
2) Photos help you remember.
Despite the conclusion of the Smithsonian Magazine article, the real test of a photo’s ability to help you remember doesn’t come the day after you take it; it comes years later. As time passes, you need things to jog your memory and nothing works better than photos that you took yourself.
3) People will actually want to see your vacation photos.
Most people are bored to tears of vacation photos that are nothing more than endless shots of people in front of landmarks. Most people don’t want to see you on vacation; they are more interested in the destination itself. If you focus on taking better images, people will actually be interested in seeing your photos.

I must admit that I was skeptical about this experience as I had never heard of Yongma Land, and it seemed a bit ‘off the beaten path’ given our short time in Seoul. However, my teens insisted this would be cool so I booked it. I’m so glad I did…our pictures are amazing! They came out beautifully and are truly unique. We had Mr. Martin as our photographer, but I’ve heard all their photographers are amazing. Out of all the fun experiences we had in Seoul, this was by far the highlight. I’m thrilled because I have pictures our family will cherish for many years to come.
I recommend bringing a change of clothes or two so you can vary the shots. My teens also brought props such as caps and sunglasses. In my opinion, we got highly stylized, professional, high-quality images that could have been featured in a magazine. Our photographer was on time and very easy and fun to work with. Language was a non-issue. He was also very familiar with the park and knew exactly where to get the best shots. He spent A LOT of time after the photoshoot to adjust our images so they are extremely high caliber.
It’s hard to connect with teenagers these days, but my teens loved this experience, and it was a fun time for our entire family. This experience is an amazing bargain for the high quality of images we will be able to enjoy forever. My teens also loved posting their pictures on social media. It was a big hit with all their ‘followers’. I strongly recommend this experience. It’s hard to find something this unique for this price in the US or Europe. I’m so thrilled we somehow stumbled across this literal hidden gem!
