## Article
For first-time visitors. Order matters: start at SM, end at HYBE so the dawn-to-dusk light lines up with the photos you'll actually want.

**09:30** — SM Town Coex Artium. Soft morning light, the building exterior photographs best from across the square. Open by 11.

**11:30** — JYP Center, Seongsu. Walk to the LINE Friends store afterwards (8 min).

**16:30–18:00** — HYBE building, Yongsan. Golden hour from the underpass side. The "ARMY pilgrimage selfie spot" is the third bench from the south entrance.

**Bus + metro instructions, restroom map, and where to actually buy unofficial merch without getting scammed** — full guide in the next 3 posts.
