Studio Concrete is a cafe in which Yoo Ah-in is in charge. It's more of an art studio than a  cafe, but you can purchase a drink and enjoy a cup of tea while enjoying the artworks. Yoo Ah-in is very enthusiastic in art and literature, and he is spending a lot of his resources in promoting the artists he loves. You can enjoy the hottest artworks in Korea with a cup of coffee.

Park Jung-min is a rather new face on the scene but starred in 3 movies just in 2019. He is famous for his interest in books and literature and has opened a book store & cafe in April 2019. 

This place is not so fancy on the outside but has books carefully selected by the Jung-min and his crew. Also, the atmosphere is calm and neat and is a perfect place to read a book.

Yesung and his brother Jong-jin started together, and you'll likely find Jong-jin on-site since he's the barista. The name Mouse and Rabbit comes from the birth zodiac of two brothers. The sun comes through on the upper floor and is a better place to chat or hang out. The lower floor has a calm atmosphere, making it a better place to relax and spend quiet time.

GD opened Monsant de Aewol, and soon it became a buzz. It is beautifully designed with mirror-like glass walls and prestigious items like the famous chandelier. It is located right in front of the sea, and you can enjoy the beautiful ocean view while taking a walk around. 

A surprising news is that GD gave up on running the cafe, and currently, it is not owned by him. Still, you can enjoy the beautiful view and delicious desserts!

Untitled 2017

Address: 제주특별자치도 서귀포시 특별자치도, 안덕면 서광리 산24-4 KR

GD opened a cafe inside Jeju Shinhwa World called 'Untitled, 2017' just like his song. It is filled with GD's traces and artistic interior designs selected by himself. 

Since it is located inside the theme park, there isn't much ocean view to enjoy. If you want to enjoy the most recent traces of GD, I would visit Untitled 2017, but if you want to watch the ocean view, Monsant de Aewol would be a better choice.
