The Starbucks with a view of North Korean self-propelled artillery is the Gimpo Aegibong branch! I have summarized the location and view of the cafe on the 2nd floor of the observation deck, where you can see cannons with a range of 24km and are located about 1.5km away from North Korea.

Have you happened to see the keyword that appears most often in online communities these days? 😳

as soon as Starbucks with a view of North Korean self-propelled artillery It is.

At first, I thought it was just a funny meme...

It turns out it was actually a story about a Starbucks store in Korea lol

I ordered a cup of coffee and looked out the window, and to think I could see a cannon across the river 🫠

I’ve compiled a complete list of exactly where the stores are located and how close they are!

1. Starbucks with a view of North Korean self-propelled artillery, none other than the 'Gimpo Aegibong Branch' ☕

북한 자주포 뷰 스타벅스 실화? 김포 애기봉점 실제 풍경부터 AI 사진 논란까지

The person in the spotlight is Starbucks Gimpo Aegibong Branch in Gimpo, Gyeonggi-do are you.

It started on October 26th.

A post titled 'Update on Gimpo Aegibong Starbucks' has been uploaded. 👀

The writer posted a photo taken at the store along with the content that the store had become a 'North Korean self-propelled gun view' as North Korea forward-deployed 122mm self-propelled guns.

They say the photo showed several North Korean soldiers standing next to a huge self-propelled gun holding red flags 😨

This article led to domestic media reports on the 27th, and as it was even covered by the Japanese media, it instantly became a hot topic.

2. Where is the Aegibong Branch Cafe located? 📍

The Aegibong branch is on a whole different level compared to regular neighborhood Starbucks, starting with its location.

Store Name: Starbucks Gimpo Aegibong Branch

Location: 2nd floor of the observation deck at Aegibong Peace Ecological Park, Gimpo-si, Gyeonggi-do

Open: November 2024

Distance to North Korea: Approximately 1.5 km from the observation deck

Features: A unique store located inside an observation deck in a frontline border area

Aegibong Peace Ecological Park itself is a security tourism site located in a border region.

This place has been famous by word of mouth as the 'Starbucks with a view of North Korea' ever since it opened ✨

💡 Since the store is located inside a border park, I highly recommend checking the park's operating hours and entry procedures in advance before visiting!

3. The view from the Aegibong branch, which was famous from the start 🌊

The real charm of the Aegibong branch is definitely the scenery.

It is located in a spot overlooking the 'Jogang' where the Han River and the Imjin River meet, and

They say that across the river, the entire area of Kaepung County, Hwanghae Province, North Korea, stretches out before you.

If you sit in the store

✔️ North Korean Village

✔️ Foothills on the North Korean side

✔️ Scenery of the Jo River where the two rivers merge

You can take it all in at a glance.

It is a place usually loved for its 'peaceful yet strangely tense view,' but,

This time, the atmosphere completely changed as even military equipment came into view. 😭

4. Self-propelled gun 1.5km ahead, with a range of a whopping 24km 💥

According to an SBS report, North Korea recently advanced self-propelled artillery southward from the western front.

Japanese media reports stated that this cannon is installed across from Starbucks, about 1.5 km away.

Citing Korean media, it was also reported that the cannon's range reaches up to about 24km. 😰

1.5km is really like being 'right across the river.'

I really understood why a single photo spread this far.

Normally, artillery weapons are kept hidden so their location cannot be revealed,

Experts say that since this was sent down to a place where it was clearly visible, it is being viewed as a 'show of force' intended to heighten tensions.

Furthermore, North Korea has announced that it will even resume loudspeaker broadcasts directed at the South this month.

5. Is the photo real? A collection of netizen reactions 🤔

There is one thing I need to point out here!

Some in the community are even saying that the circulating photo itself looks like an image that someone manipulated using AI.

Still, since the fact that self-propelled artillery was deployed right up to the front was actually reported, there were many reactions saying, "The photo might be exaggerated, but the situation is real."

Netizen reactions were diverse, too lol

The reaction that it feels realistic and scary seeing it like this

The reaction is wondering whether the number of customers will decrease or, on the contrary, increase due to becoming a hot topic.

Reactions saying they were surprised because it was much closer than expected

The highlight among them was a comment that said, "One self-propelled gun round you ordered has arrived." 😂

It’s funny, but it’s a situation where I can’t just laugh it off, so it feels even more bitter.
