2025 Seoul Forest BTS Bench Tour

Seoul Forest in Seongsu is one of Seoul’s top travel spots—and a must-visit destination for BTS fans worldwide. The park features 20 benches and 8 tables engraved with BTS members’ names and lyrics, along with the J-Hope Garden. Created by ARMY, for ARMY, this fan tour is something you can't miss if you're in Seoul. Wondering what heartfelt messages are inscribed on each bench? We’ll show you how to find them all in under two hours—with a handy map and time-saving tips.

The first benches you’ll spot after exiting from Exit 4 of Seoul forest Station are dedicated to Jimin and SUGA. Behind the benches, you'll see Galleria Foret to the left—home to cafés and shops—and a skating rink just behind on the right. Jimin’s bench features lyrics from his solo track “Promise,” released on December 31, 2018. SUGA’s bench is engraved with part of his rap verse from “Song Request” by Lee Sora.

One of RM’s benches is engraved with lyrics from “Moonchild,” a track from his mixtape mono, released on October 23, 2018. The second bench nearby features a line from “Sea,” the hidden track on BTS’s LOVE YOURSELF 承 ‘Her’ album. If you have a BTS doll or any merch, we highly recommend placing it on the bench for the perfect fan photo! 📷

After visiting RM and BTS benches, follow the path and you’ll discover Jimin’s hidden bench, tucked away in the forest. Look for it on a small hill next to a blue signpost. On your left, you’ll spot the table zone—featuring a total of five BTS-themed tables dedicated to Jungkook, Jin, the 95s unit, and two for V. 🌳

Walk along the bench path next to the basketball court, and you'll come across the RM and Jimin benches. You’ll also spot some outdoor fitness equipment nearby, so don’t be surprised! RM’s benches feature lyrics from “EPILOGUE : Young Forever” and “everythingoes (지나가)”.

From the signboard with the Seoul Forest map, take the path to the left. You’ll soon see a hydrangea garden on your right and J-Hope’s bench on your left. The very first bench beside the flower garden belongs to J-Hope. It features a line from "P.O.P (Piece of Peace)"—a lyric that speaks of being strength to some, light to others.

Walk along the Seoul Forest lake, and you’ll find three benches dedicated to Jin. Just follow the sign for Saengsaeng Garden to get there. From these benches, you’ll have a beautiful view of the park’s fountain. Each bench is engraved with lyrics from Jin’s songs: “Epiphany,” “Tonight (이 밤),” and “Moon.”

After visiting Jin benches, continue walking along the path until you see a bridge overhead. Once the bridge comes into view, turn right, and you’ll spot a line of benches. That’s where you’ll find two more RM benches waiting to be discovered.

After stopping by RM benches, continue in the direction of the bridge—you’ll see a path just like the one in the image above. Walk along the trail and you’ll find a restroom on your left, in case you need a quick stop. Keep going, and on your left, you’ll come across the lake and the table zone, where you’ll find tables dedicated to Jungkook, Jin, and V.

The J-Hope Garden was first created by ARMY in 2023 and beautifully updated in 2024 to celebrate J-Hope’s military discharge. Scan the QR code on one side of the HOPE sculpture, and you’ll hear one of his songs play. Just to the left of the J-Hope Garden, you’ll also find the aespa Winter Forest.

After exploring the J-Hope Garden, head right on the map, and you’ll find a cluster of six BTS benches dedicated to V, Jungkook, and BTS. They’re arranged in three bench zones, with two benches in each area. Look out for a large silver sculpture right next to the benches—it’s a helpful landmark. (Refer to the image above for reference!)

Once you’ve found all six benches in the area, follow the main path back out—you’ll soon see a Ddareungi bike return station. Since Ddareungi bikes don’t need to be returned to the original rental spot, feel free to return your bike here. Then, head up the stairs, walk over the hill, and turn left—you’ll arrive at Apple Tree Road, where the V Garden is located.
