Holy place for SHINee fans
It is a small Tteokbokki restaurant in front of an elementary school without a prominent sign, but it is a must-visit place for SHINee fans. It was because Key stopped by every day when he was in elementary school. It is fun to see the store filled with SHINee's albums and photos. Sweet Tteokbokki with a lot of cabbage is not irritating, so you can eat it without burden. If you mix this with Daegu's specialty Flat Mandu, it's the best combination. Listening to the pleasant story of the owner of this restaurant creates new memories.
