Vietnamese fans are crazy because BlackPink chose Capella Hanoi to film the 7th anniversary video

While the echoes of Born Pink Hanoi seem to have not yet ended, the 4 girls continued to make the "V-Blinks" (BlackPink's affectionate name for Vietnamese fans) stir and "proud" to the international community when choosing the very hotel that was rumored to have stayed during the concert days in Hanoi, Capella Hanoi, as the place to preserve the moments of celebrating 7 years together.

The location where BlackPink filmed their 7th anniversary video has many similarities with Akio Bar & Lounge at Koki restaurant

Yesterday (August 8), BlackPink posted a video sharing lovely memories from the group's founding day on its official YouTube channel with 90.5 million subscribers. Within just 4 hours of posting, the video received 1.2 million views and nearly 23,000 comments. Some Vietnamese fans have realized that the filming location has many similarities with Akio Bar & Lounge of Koki restaurant - Capella Hanoi hotel - such as the interior of the lounge's typical wooden panels or the purple water cup printed with the image of Sword Lake, which is only available here.

Just like the "fever" of a 280,000 VND bowl of pho at Backstage restaurant - where Rosé probably enjoyed her favorite pho dish to the point of "slurping down every last drop", Akio Bar & Lounge of Koki restaurant is expected to attract many diners to explore every corner to have a "cheap moment" (a term used by K-pop fans, meaning a "coincidental" moment where a fan and idol use the same item) with their idol.

Akio Bar & Lounge is an inseparable part of the "house of the senses" Koki with a huge treasure trove of nearly 60 types of sake carefully selected from many different famous regions, notably the signature sake Izumi by Koki. The Lounge is considered a paradise for the art of mixing cocktails with rice wine, an ingredient that is both sacred and close to Asian culture.

In addition to ensuring a delicious dining experience, Akio also prepares the most special sake menu in Vietnam. This is also where many types of tea are carefully selected based on the criteria of the best, most delicate and most rich flavor, imported from Japan.

CN Traveller once described Akio in an article praising the two best restaurants in Hanoi, Koki and The Hudson Rooms, in 2022: "At Koki's Akio Lounge, diners will experience a journey through Japan with cocktails such as Nikko cherry blossoms, Oita and hot springs... Each glass will be accompanied by a snack prepared according to the recipe of Junichi Yoshida, the chef who turned Teppanyaki into a Michelin-starred dish at his famous restaurant Ishigaki Yoshida in Roppongi (Japan)".

Besides the private Akio Bar & Lounge - a place to honor the lands, traditional ingredients and quintessential Japanese traditions, Koki restaurant also brings diners the quintessence of Japanese cuisine at two restaurants, Hibana by Koki and Izakaya by Koki.

Lounge is considered a paradise for the art of mixing cocktails with rice wine.

Hibana by Koki has recently been honored with 1 Michelin star, something that few hotel restaurants have achieved. The "price" of a meal at this Japanese Teppanyaki restaurant is the experience of admiring the master culinary "artisans" preparing and processing the ingredients, with meticulousness, passion and above all, irresistible sophistication.

Meanwhile, Izakaya is the name for Japanese food connoisseurs and those who love the "drinking house" style. Here, the space is designed to experience interaction and conversation between diners, but there is also no shortage of private corners. In the first announcement of Michelin Guide in Hanoi last June, Izakaya by Koki was on the Michelin Selected list (restaurants selected and recommended by Michelin to try).

Less than a 5-minute walk from Hanoi Opera House, Capella Hanoi is the first hotel operated by the Capella brand in Vietnam, designed by architect Bill Bensley, the mastermind behind Capella Ubud Bali, which won the 2020 World's Best Hotel award.

Capella Hanoi features unique Art Nouveau and Art Deco architecture, recreating a lavish inn for famous artists and composers during the golden age of Opera in the 1920s.
