Seoul: Jaejoong’s Cafe Jholic In Myeongdong

I was wandering around the shops in Myeongdong when I saw a bright lemon yellow signboard of a cafe called Jholic. The name of the cafe sounded like the one opened by Jaejoong of JYJ. So I popped into it to check it out. Yup, it is Jaejoong’s cafe alright.

I was surprised to see that the cafe is a small one, and quite an ordinary one – there was nothing special or noteworthy about the cafe (besides the bright lemon yellow colored theme). I expected something more showy, or snazzy. It was occupied by mostly Japanese women, both young and middle-aged. Must be the Japanese fans of Jaejoong!

I ordered a coffee, and waited 30 minutes for it. The coffee was not bad, but a waiting time of 30 minutes…? Unacceptable.
