There is an area at the Yeouido Hangang Park where all the memorial trees for different celebrities were planted. I saw some for Exo, Super Junior, Shinee, and Infinite.
It's also where the trees for TVXQ were planted.
There are two ways to get there.
Yeouinaru Station, Exit 2 (Red path)
National Assembly Station Exit 1 (Blue path)
The easiest way is Yeouinaru Station, but it's also the longer way.
You can go out Yeouinaru Station, Exit 2. Walk straight for 20-25 minutes.
You will pass Mapo Bridge then Seogang Bridge.
Once you reach Seogang Bridge, there will be a crosswalk. Keep walking straight.
It will look like this.

What it looks like at the crosswalk
This is what is looks like when you cross the street.
You always want to stay on the right side of the street. Keep walking STRAIGHT.
Pass these government buildings. They will be on your left.
When you see the NaTV building you're close.
After you pass the NaTV building, look for this security guard posting.
TURN RIGHT-- go down some stone steps and you will see the Memorial Trees.
To get to the TVXQ Memorial Trees, you have walk along the trees on your left.
Or you can go out of National Assembly Station. It's shorter but a little more complicated.
Go out of National Assembly Station Exit 1.
Immediately cross the street.
After crossing the street, turn RIGHT. You will walk straight until you reach the Seogang Bridge crosswalk.
As you can see from the map below, it's a shorter walk to Seogang Bridge from National Assembly than Yeouinaru.
After the crosswalk at Seogang Bridge, the directions are the SAME.

TVXQ MEMORIAL TREES
Some of the trees had yellow buds on them that I assume will bloom into white flowers. Others had red buds or berries on them.
Yunho & Changmin's trees
Yunho's tree had lots of buds on it, but no blooms yet.
Changmin has always been an early bloomer. ^.~
