The luxurious property in the forest where K-pop boy band BTS filmed its reality show “In The Soop” will be open to the public.

HYBE announced Wednesday that visitors will be allowed in the “In The Soop” filming location in Pyeongchang, Gangwon, through a package tour program offered together with resort complex Phoenix Pyeongchang.

BTS’s “In The Soop” is a reality series that aired on JTBC from Aug. 19, 2020. After the eight-episode first season, the second season aired on Oct. 15, 2021. The series follows the boy band as members taking a break from their busy lives to spend a week together at a luxurious villa in a remote countryside.

HYBE said it has brought in all the furniture the boy band used so that the area looks exactly like it did in the show. Visitors can look around all three buildings, sit down on the same sofa as the K-pop megastars and even lie down on one of their beds.

Those who purchase the “In The Soop Stay: Phoenix Pyeongchang” package will get to stay in a room at Phoenix Pyeongchang and will be given a guided tour around the "In The Soop" villa. Package purchasers will also receive various goodies related to the K-pop boy band and reality program.

The package program will become available for purchase from 5 p.m. on Wednesday on Phoenix Pyeongchang's website (phoenixhnr.co.kr).
