This unassuming building in Gangnam is where it all began. The original Big Hit Entertainment office — where BTS trained, recorded, and debuted in 2013.
The exterior walls are covered with messages from fans worldwide, written in dozens of languages. It's become an unofficial memorial to BTS's humble beginnings — a reminder that the biggest group in the world started in a small company that was nearly bankrupt.
The building is walking distance from Yoojung Sikdang, making for a perfect BTS origin story pilgrimage. Standing here, knowing what came after, is genuinely moving.
