BTS Places in Busan: V's Park, Jimin's Shore

V's park photograph and Jimin's beach visit point to two different Busan days. Choose the connection that means most to you, then give the public place around it enough room to become part of your own trip.

BTS places in Busan can make a fan map feel intensely personal. A path is recognizable because of a photograph; a beach has an extra association because a member once went there. The pleasure comes from bringing that memory into an ordinary travel day. For this feature, the choices are Busan Citizens Park and Dadaepo Beach: separate places with documented connections to V and Jimin.

Pick one as the main event. The park suits a city day organized around a specific photo point and time outdoors. Dadaepo suits a day when the shoreline itself is the destination. During a longer stay, each can have its own afternoon.

V's photograph, a public park

The Korea Tourism Organization's September 2023 Busan fan-tour feature records that V took a stroll and a photograph at Busan Citizens Park before a concert in 2019. The date matters: this is a documented past connection that gives the park a place on a fan's itinerary.

A separate KTO guide updated in May 2024 locates the associated photo point near Simin Maru pavilion by the South Gate. Use that description to orient yourself, then ask at the park for the current location and condition of any marker. A historical guide can explain why a spot matters while current site information tells you how to visit it.

Make the photograph a friendly, brief occasion. Take turns with companions, keep the route clear and let other park users carry on with their day. You might bring the outfit or umbrella you associate with the image, but your own version can be much simpler. The recognition is already there.

Afterward, give the park a little unplanned time. A short walk or a seat with a drink lets the fan stop become a real part of your holiday. You came because of a photograph; the rest of the visit belongs to the people you are traveling with and the day you find.

Jimin's western shoreline

For a different mood, make Dadaepo your choice. Visit Busan's Jimin-themed route records his visit to Dadaepo Beach in 2016 and associates it with a new-year wish. It is a small, specific connection to carry into a beach afternoon, with no need to build a longer story about what he might have done there.

The coast has its own substance. KTO's Dadaepo destination listing explains that the broad sandy beach was formed from deposits carried by the Nakdonggang River and notes the coastal park and walking paths. That gives the place an identity beyond its fan association: a meeting of river-made land and the sea.

Plan around the shore you actually want to enjoy. You might spend time on an open walking route, find a suitable place to sit or choose a nearby meal from the businesses operating that day. If sunset is your reason for coming, check the date's sunset time and weather before deciding when to arrive. The sky will supply its own version of the scene.

A fountain show or festival can be an extra only when its current schedule confirms it. The beach visit stands on its own. Keep your expectations attached to the public landscape, rather than to an old event notice or the hope of an appearance.

A fan memory can choose the destination; the place should still have room for your own day.

Let the map choose the pace

Busan Citizens Park is in Busanjin-gu; Dadaepo Beach is in Saha-gu. Put the exact destination into a current map before joining it to other plans. These are separate outing choices, so give the transfer a real place in your thinking if you decide to combine them.

Build around the connection that interests you most. If V's photograph is the reason you opened the map, choose the park and leave the shore for another day. If Jimin's Dadaepo association brings you toward the coast, let that be the afternoon. Both choices allow fandom to introduce you to a public place with a life of its own.

Keep these details handy

• Park choice: Busan Citizens Park, 73 Simingongwon-ro, Busanjin-gu. Ask about the V photo point near Simin Maru and the South Gate; marker details require a current check.
• Beach choice: Dadaepo Beach, 14 Morundae 1-gil, Saha-gu. Review current weather, open paths and your onward journey.
• Choose your scale: Make one place the main outing. Treat a combined visit as a separate transport decision.
• Historical context: V's connection here dates to 2019; Jimin's to 2016. Neither establishes a current appearance, performance or fan event.
