The AK Town Suwon [The AK Town 수원], which opened in 2003, is a shopping center that is part of the South Korean AK Plaza department store franchise — here, AK stands for Aekyung Industrial Co. Ltd., its owner. This mall — one of 5 AK branches across South Korea, with its flagship store located in Guro [구로본점] — shares its building with Suwon Station, in Suwon’s neighborhood Maesan [Maesan-no 1(il)ga/매산로1가] —part of its administrative neighborhood Maesan [Maesan-dong/매산동]— in the Paldal District [Paldal-gu/팔달구].
This branch of jewelry store Didier Dubot — one of the sponsors of Romance Is A Bonus Book — opened shop in this mall in 2014 on Floor 2. Fun fact: As of 2019, Lee Na-young is one of the faces of the brand. Since the filming of Temperature of Love, Takumi’s branch has closed doors at this location.
