TVXQ Forest at the Yeouido Hangang Park

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.  

There's a church on your left
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. ^.~

Yeouido Fansign [2014.01.19]



This is the first time I've ever taken photos at a fansign event. Normally, I like to take video, but fansign videos can be boring. It all depends if something cute happens. So, I decided to take pictures instead.  Because it was my first time, I didn't really know where would be the best spot to stand and take photos.
Also, taking pics is so much harder than taking video. They were playing the MV on a big screen behind the boys, so the light was constantly changing and I had to readjust my settings and refocus a lot. Also, most of the time the security guards were moving around and getting in the way. >.<

I took about 400 pictures and these were the only usable ones. I like these photos a lot, but they're  nowhere near the quality I've seen in other photos posted of this event. But I just did it for the experience, so I hope you enjoy them anyway~!

This is an example of the security guards TVXQ-blocking me -_-

 I'm actually really proud of this photo. It came out so well. T^T
 My one and only Changmin pic
 Now all of the Yunho~~~ ^^
