◎ Travel information to meet Hallyu’s charm - "Vincenzo"
It is a coffee shop in the former factory building. It doesn't look that big from the outside, but when you step inside, the high ceilings and wide space give you an unexpected charm. With a total of three floors, each floor is decorated in a different atmosphere with plants and paintings, so you can get various SNS proof shots. The place where Vincenzo (Song Joongki) and Hong Chayoung (Jeon Yeobeen) drank Espresso and Iced Americano was the outdoor terrace on the first floor, and the terrace on the third floor can be seen at a glance.
