Isn’t it every fan’s goal to visit a place their idol also visited? From filming locations of their shows to restaurants they own, there’s a lot of things fans could visit. Here’s another one, especially for fans of global superstar BTS and Korea’s sweetheart IU. Both artists filmed their own music videos at this one location in South Korea — Casanoir.

Bonus: We’ve also found a similar place here in the Philippines for our Filipino ARMYs and Uaenas!

 

The music videos of BTS and IU

IU collaborated with BTS’ SUGA on a single called “Eight”, whose music video featured the singer as a character who is “growing out of her youth.” Upon walking into a futuristic sci-fi room, she activates a machine and lays down on a bed in front of it. A montage of her memories, which she accessed through the machine, then follows. These memories are mostly located in a house at the Casanoir in South Korea.

Meanwhile, the music video of BTS’ latest single “Life Goes On” from their album BE (at least, its teasers) features the members of the band sitting together around a campfire right in front of the same house in IU’s music video.

 

Casanoir

Located in Yangpyeong, South Korea, just less than an hour away from Seoul, Casanoir is a space where you can appreciate nature, have fun with friends, and simply relax. The place is also a popular location for private weddings, parties, workshops, and the like.

Casanoir

The exterior of the houses is styled like four industrial containers put together in a square, with one side completely open that serves as a courtyard to make the space feel much bigger. At the center of the courtyard is a small pond with a cool stream of water falling from the roof. It looks out over the big garden full of flowers and greenery.

The interior is made up of 3 double bedrooms, 2 traditional Korean rooms, a dining room, and a living room. This pretty house maximizes natural light to create a sense of openness with nature and the environment right outside.
