Today was my color analysis with 이아현 (Lee Ah Hyun), she was super friendly explained everything to me very clearly, if I had any doubts she answere with kindness. She knows a lot about color, makeup and body shape, and the best is that she like it a lot. Yoy can see her passiom Thank you very much, from now on I will dress better thanks to all the tips she gave me. 감사합니다 5⭐️

Super awesome Aquarium! A bit hard to find for me (you have to go down into the mall area, not on street level), but that doesn’t effect my 5 star rating!

We visited Lotte World in Seoul and had a fun time with the indoor rides, even though we didn’t get to explore the outdoor areas or Magic Island because of heavy rain. We arrived around 1 p.m. and left around 9 p.m., but were only able to ride six attractions. The main challenge was the long lines — most rides required waiting 60 to 90 minutes, which made it a bit frustrating and not always worth the wait. If you plan to visit, I highly recommend getting a Magic Pass or some kind of priority pass to save time and make the most out of your day. Despite the waits, the indoor rides were fun and enjoyable, especially on a rainy day.

You can scan the QR code at the entrance. It's quick and convenient, saving you time from waiting in line to buy tickets, and the price is better too.

finally experienced the place where king the land and business proposal shot some of their scenes, it was magical the combination of indoor and outdoor, though the downside is the total waiting for time for a ride. best memory is wearing a uniform with my partner and there’s also some coffee shops where my mom stayed. I got the combo with the sky seoul tower and it was amazing

Had a very enjoyable visit at Seoul Sky Tower. The view from the 122nd floor was absolutely amazing—you can see almost the entire city of Seoul from up there. It’s a great way to appreciate how big and beautiful the city is. The experience was smooth and well organized, and the observation deck itself was impressive. Definitely highly recommended if you’re visiting Seoul and want to see the city from a different perspective. 🌆✨
