A word from BTS Jin has had a huge impact on a gopchang restaurant in Los Angeles, the U.S.
Visiting a restaurant that has become a hot topic on SNS after being recommended by BTS Jin, fans realized that “it was like a market in front of the restaurant because there were so many visitors”. A beef tripe restaurant in L.A Korea Town recommended by Jin on November 29th (local time) has been filled with customers even after dinner time. In addition, fans were camping in front of the restaurant, waiting for their turn to get into the restaurant.
This restaurant went viral as it was recommended by Jin in an interview with a media outlet when he visited the U.S in 2017. At that time, when asked, “What food do you want to eat while staying in LA?”, Jin said, “Do you know ‘OOO’ gopchang restaurant?”, and introduced it as the ‘No.1 restaurant in LA’. According to Jin’s mention, this is BTS’s favorite restaurant whenever they come to LA.
As BTS is holding their offline concerts “BTS PERMISSION TO DANCE ON STAGE – LA” for the first time after 2 years due to the pandemic spread, fans coming to LA for the concert recalled the interview 4 years ago and began to visit the restaurant. In addition, fans continued to flock to the restaurant as it is rumored that BTS members also visited this restaurant while staying in LA for their concert this time.
Even on the day SPOTVNEWS visited this restaurant, there was a long waiting line along the long wall outside the door, proving that the restaurant is really famous. Even though when it was nearly 9 P.M, there were still about 50 guests waiting. It has shown the influence of BTS’s popularity on the restaurant.
When the reporter returned to the restaurant at 12 P.M, it was still crowded with customers. Only BTS songs, such as “Butter”, were played again and again in the restaurant. The popularity of the restaurant, which seems to have become ‘ARMY’s Holy Land‘, is drawing attention.
BTS is holding their solo concert “BTS PERMISSION TO DANCE ON STAGE –LA” at Sofi Stadium from Nov 27th to Dec 2nd to meet fans in person. With the hot popularity of BTS, this concert is expected to attract more than 200,000 audiences.
