I found out through EXO's Showtime that the Boy Who Cried Wolf setting was actually real, so I scoured the net for the location. It was a convenient visit that matched well with my friends' plans to visit
Garosu-gil.
Directions: From Line 3 Sinsa station exit 8, walk to Garosu-gil. When you see the Olive Young store, turn left into the alley and turn right at the next junction. Turn left at the next junction to find the building.

Boy Who Cried Wolf, better known as BWCW, is SM's pop-up store for promoting EXO's wolf and school themes for their two songs. The original run was just a month then SM extended to October and then to February '14. GO WHILE YOU CAN, PEOPLE. Now, the store is themed with the December comeback, having the boys' elf photos instead. The pop-up store is themed as a school, collaborating with OutLab. They have the common room, the library, the cafeteria, and other rooms.
Each room and most walls have scribbles down by the boys. Watch out for secret messages! Here is the flood of photos that I took. Let's do this room by room.
Common Room
The common room is where you order your food or pay for your merchandise.
Cafeteria
The cafeteria is basically where you can have a meal. Order your food and the cashier will bring it to you. The chef is pretty ^^ The EXO burger set is awesome, unlike what another blogger had said. Vegetables were fresh, the cheese wasn't the processed sliced kind, and the meat didn't feel like the fake processed patties. A little sloppy to eat cleanly, but it tasted good!
Check out the tables while you're waiting for your food and see whose table you're sitting at!

Did Suho write something about D.O. being
an idiot who doesn't know his heart? |

Food's here!
The bun has a stamp of the BWCW logo |

Principal's Office
The principal's office has a more cutesy concept of clothes. They have shirts on sale here.
See the poster above? Look out for D.O's secret message! The guy was smart to use white ink on the white background. I had to use the B/W filter to try and capture this message. Not many people could see it.

| "Secret -D.O.- Fans, I love you." |

| Chen's tiny writing |
Classroom
Next door is the classroom. The classroom has the variety of snapbacks, I think. You can view their Growl album there.
Dorm Room
Top floor. The dorm room has the clothes concept from the Wolf comeback. The clothes are more hip-hop.

Gymnasium
Accessible through the back of the common room. Toilets are down there too. I think the varsity jackets are here. They also have some emblems for sale. I think they're necklaces.

Library
Accessible only from the outside. The library sells non fashion related merchandise that you can find at the Everysing stores, i.e. photos, books, stationery, and albums. Some sweaters are available too. They were giving out free BWCW badges too.

Baekhyun be taking up all that space.
Boy talks a lot. |
