01 From Savory Mushroom Hot Pot to Cozy Cafes

These girls certainly know their food! 🤤

For the first meal of their

Muju adventure, the trio headed to

Sanseong Garden, a famous local spot

known for its mouthwatering Korean Duck Bulgogi!

Their most popular menu item is the Duck Bulgogi and Duck Soup set.

And of course, the girls didn't miss out on

finishing off the meal with the legendary

K-fried rice at the end! 😋

After exploring the mountains, they headed over

to a nearby cozy cafe called PLACE 64

to unwind and enjoy a peaceful afternoon.

Ordering three different desserts for three people...

Now that's what I call true dessert etiquette! 🤭🍰

To wrap up their first evening, they drove about 10 minutes from the cafe

to a renowned local restaurant called Sandulae.

There, they warmed up with a comforting pot of

their signature Neungi (Black Pine) Mushroom Hot Pot! Healthy and delicious!

02 A Must-Visit in Muju: Anguksa Temple

Nature at its absolute best 🌳

For the ultimate healing portion

of their Muju trip, the girls headed up

straight to the scenic Jeoksangsan Mountain.

At first, many fans thought they had visited

Deogyusan Mountain, which is Muju's most famous peak.

But seeing that they paid a visit to the beautiful Anguksa Temple,

it's highly likely they chose Jeoksangsan instead!

It seems BLACKPINK's Jisoo also fell in love

with the peaceful vibes of this place.

She even left a comment on Hyeri's Instagram post saying,

"Nature is the best 🌳"

with a sweet emoji ☺

Seeing these beautiful souls taking some well-deserved time off to rest makes me so happy! ~~~!!

03 The Stay Chosen by Hyeri, Jisoo, and Jung Ho-yeon

Relax in a Private Spa at 'Mugok'

The stay that Hyeri, Jisoo, and Jung Ho-yeon chose was

none other than 'Mugok,' a super cozy, aesthetic stay in Muju!

Muju Mugok features a gorgeous indoor spa

and they even welcome you with warm tea and yakgwa (traditional honey cookies),

which makes the vibe even more perfect! 🤎

They gathered to celebrate

Jung Ho-yeon's birthday here!

Cooking together, throwing a birthday party,

and snapping tons of photos...

Watching them hang out made me realize

they're just a relatable group of 30-something girlfriends on a getaway!

🥳🍀🍸🧳🫧✨

Hyeri, Jisoo, and Jung Ho-yeon's

trip to Muju this time

seemed to happen because Hyeri was chosen

as the 'Next Actor' for the Muju Film Festival!

It looks like she invited her friends along to celebrate.

A few years ago,

I also visited the Muju Film Festival,

and it was so quiet, starry, and peaceful with such fresh air.

It really was the ultimate healing getaway.

Seeing these three iconic stars

revisit these beautiful spots one by one,

I can totally see why

they fell in love with Muju.

With stunning nature, delicious local food, cozy cafes,

and the perfect stay to unwind,

it really is the ultimate recipe

for a perfect 2-day getaway! 💚

Next time I plan a trip to Muju,

I’m definitely going

to follow this exact same itinerary

step by step! 😘😘

For your next summer vacation,

how about a relaxing trip to Muju?
