Actually, Iryeong Station is just a train station in a small town called Yangju, Gyeonggi Province, South Korea. However, its name became famous because it was the filming location for BTS' MV Spring Day.

One iconic scene at this station is when V BTS gets off the station and walks towards the snowy tracks. Some ARMYs who visit often make videos or photos imitating V BTS in the MV Spring Day.

From South Korea to the United States, there is Sepulveda Dam, which also suddenly became popular after being chosen by BTS as a shooting location for the MV ON Kinetic Manivesto Film: Come Prima.

Interestingly, Sepulveda Dam is a historic building, as it was built by US military engineers in 1941. The dam, located in Van Nuys, California, began construction after a flash flood hit Los Angeles in 1938.

This dam was built to prevent future floods from hitting the San Fernando Valley and other areas of Los Angeles. Some ARMYs who visit here not only take photos but also make dance covers.

Next, there is Dongho Bridge that stretches over the Han River in Seoul. This bridge is not only accessible for vehicles and public transportation to cross the river.

On the contrary, Dongho Bridge also provides a special lane for pedestrians, making it safe for taking photos. Moreover, the view of Seoul city from this bridge is also very beautiful.

Dongho Bridge itself became a popular tourist destination after being chosen by BTS as a set or filming location for the MV "I Need U." In the MV, BTS's J-Hope can be seen walking in a state between consciousness and unconsciousness.

5. Los Angeles Theater

Last but not least, there is the Los Angeles Theater located in the Broadway Theater district, Los Angeles. This building is not only of high artistic value, but also historic as it has been built since 1930.

In addition, its interior design is also very beautiful, as its architecture has similarities with the Hall of Mirrors in the Palace of Versailles, France. BTS fans have started talking about it, as the Los Angeles Theater was chosen as the filming location for the MV Black Swan.

However, the Los Angeles Theater has been closed to the public since 1994, but it can still be rented for filming or specific activities. Nevertheless, ARMY can still pose in front of this building.

Those are some iconic photoshoot sets or MV filming locations by BTS, which can be included in the list of tourist destinations when visiting South Korea or the US. Have you ever visited any of these places?
