BTS’s RM’s Sister Opens ‘Cafe Far Ben’ in Seoul’s Seongsu District

Kim Kyung Min, the younger sister of BTS’s RM, has opened a café in Seongsu-dong, Seoul. The new establishment, named Cafe Far Ben, opened its doors on July 1. It occupies a strategic location on the trendy district’s main street, near major office buildings and the well-known 1MILLION Dance Studio, making it well-positioned to attract plenty of visitors from foot traffic.

Spotted at the opening was Jung Ji Woo, the sister of BTS’s j-hope. Not only did she graciously interact with fans who asked her for photos, but she also brought RM’s sister a bouquet of flowers to congratulate her on the opening. Jimin’s father, who runs the wildly popular MAGNATE café in Busan, sent flowers to Cafe Far Ben as well.

Although RM is currently serving in the South Korean military, where he’s playing saxophone in the band, he took time out from his service to congratulate his sister. He sent her a wreath with a note that said, “Dongsaeng! Cheers to new beginnings!”

What’s so good about Cafe Far Ben?

This marks the first time a BTS member’s relative has opened a café in Seoul. Jin’s older brother runs a business of his own in Yeouido-dong, Seoul, but it’s a Japanese restaurant named Ossu Seiromushi, not a café. (By the way, he also sent flowers to Kim Kyung Min when Cafe Far Ben opened.)

Since it opened, RM’s sister’s new café has been earning rave reviews from ARMYs and locals alike. Some say Cafe Far Ben’s strong points are its ambience, which is complemented by a great selection of music, and its high-quality coffee. Such feedback is likely to attract even more visitors in the future—visitors who will tuck into the café’s signature menu item called Far Ben Chio, a sweet coffee topped with savory peanuts. 

To visit Cafe Far Ben, head to Seongsu station on Seoul’s green line (Line 2), take exit 3, turn right, and follow the main street to the café. The address is 1st Floor, Hyupseong Building, 65 Seongsui-ro, Seongdong-gu, Seoul. – K-Pop News Writer
