"If you’ve fallen down the BTS rabbit hole like myself then I cannot recommend highly enough that you consider taking
this tour with Barbara dela Pena and her Team at Headliner T.E.A. I was a 60 year old somewhat introverted solo traveller
who was both nervous and excited to undertake my first trip to South Korea.
It turned out to be such an awesome and memorable experience and so much fun that I went a second time and am planning a third.
You will be well taken care of as you enjoy the wonderful sights, cuisine and culture, that is unique to South Korea
whilst followingin the footsteps of one of their most famous exports BTS. I have met so many incredible people and
gained new friendships, it was one of the best decisions I have made in my life. 💜"

"I travelled with Headliner T.E.A. on both the BTS Spring Tour and Summer Tour in 2026, covering Seoul, Gwangju and Busan,
Headliner TEA turned a Korea trip into a collection of stories and there’s a reason I came back for a second tour.
I originally booked because I was travelling without my usual travel buddy and wanted an organised group to give me the
confidence to actually get on the plane. What I didn’t expect was how much the Headliner TEA experience would add
beyond simply making Korea easier.
A huge part of that comes from Barb and the relationships she has built in Korea. Those connections turn into genuinely
special ARMY experiences, from restaurants and museums I never would have known about myself to locations inspired
by BTS Season’s Greetings content. Some of my favourite memories were the personal ones: being treated like family
over lunch, flower arranging at The Isaac, and unexpectedly being gifted T-shirts at Eulji Dabang
after we visited for ssanghwa-cha.
The smaller Summer Tour was especially flexible, with impromptu stops and dinner changes becoming some of the best moments.
For me, the biggest unexpected bonus was the people. Both tour group chats are still active. I’ve met up with people again in
Australia, we’ve booked BTS tickets together, and we’re now heading to other concerts together too.
I’d particularly recommend Headliner T.E.A. to solo ARMYand anyone who wants their Korea trip centred around BTS
rather than conventional sightseeing. The tours are differentenough each time that I’m still maintaining the entirely reasonable
argument that I need to see Korea in all four seasons. Headliner T.E.A. delivers the BTS moments you didn’t know you needed.
One final warning: Barb loves a viral dance opportunity.
Learn the choreography or establish yourself early as the camera person. I chose wisely."
