Turn the places your favorite K-pop artists love into your next trip.
KPOT is a travel discovery service that maps K-pop artists to the real-world places they’re connected to — the café an idol loves, the studio where a music video was filmed, the restaurant a group visited on a variety show.
For global fans, being a fan and planning a trip to Korea are the same dream. KPOT turns that dream into a route: search an artist, explore their spots on the map, read reviews, and build your own fandom itinerary.
Built for the Korea Tourism Data Utilization Competition (관광데이터 활용 공모전), KPOT reimagines open tourism data through the lens of K-pop culture.

KPOT is built on a Figma-driven design system. Every screen maps to a Figma node, and all visual values flow from a shared token file — keeping the product pixel-consistent and easy to scale.
A warm signature red (#F74C4C) sets the tone: energetic, friendly, and unmistakably K-pop.
