Artist Connections

The heart of Busan's film festival, famous for street food enjoyed by many K-pop idols.

BIFF Square is not only the historic hub of the Busan International Film Festival but also a hotspot for K-pop idols seeking authentic Korean street food. Its most famous treat, the 'Ssiat Hotteok,' has been enjoyed by numerous stars, most notably SEVENTEEN's Seungkwan and DK. Their visit has made trying the pancake a fan ritual. As a central point in Nampo-dong, the square is frequently visited by idols during their trips to Busan for concerts or shows, including members of Apink and NCT. The handprints of famous actors and directors in the pavement add to the Hallyu atmosphere, making it a vibrant cultural intersection of film, food, and K-pop.
