Things to do in Hongdae Shopping Street

I took a one-day class where I learned how to make Korean-style cookies with yakgwa. It was a really fun experience! The instructor was kind and very friendly, and the desserts turned out absolutely delicious. The atmosphere was lovely—you could see beautiful big trees through the large windows, and the place was very clean. I truly enjoyed this activity, and it felt very meaningful to me. I even brought the cookies home for my dad, and he loved them so much!

Visited the Gyeongbokgung Palace with my cousin, and for free Entrance we used the voucher for the Hanbok rental. Didn't regret it, the staff was really nice and helped us with the fitting. I chose a nice simple hairstyle that was free (there were also different one's with a extra fee). And I got a nice pretty bag (usually with a small fee, but for a review I can get it for free) And even though it was hot outside, it didn't affect the experience for us ✨✨✨

Such a worthwhile experience! I had a skin test with the pharmacist, and she was so kind and thorough throughout the whole process. She carefully analyzed my skin and recommended products that were actually suitable for my skin type. I had so many questions because I’ve been concerned about my skin for a long time, but she patiently answered every single one. I finally got a better understanding of my skin and was able to clear up many of the concerns I had. If you’re visiting Korea, I definitely recommend giving this a try! The products in the store are also reasonably priced, and everyone was so friendly and welcoming. Overall, it was such a pleasant and helpful experience. I’m really glad I stopped by!

This is a cute experience . I have booked a sunset View. It was the perfect and breathtaking golden hour view of Seoul I have witnessed in my last trip. I highly recommend this for couples, though I went by myself. lol. The safety process was explained well in different languages, which is highly. The staff was kind enough to take photos for everybody on the balloon. Even after getting down, they were happy to take photos with the balloon.

super busy when we went but since it was one of the only places that had plus size opt we decided to come here. otherwise very efficient in getting everything done from picking hanbok to dressing us up and doing our hair

Dongdaemun Sparex is the best! It's affordable, clean, spacious, and comfortable. The location is also incredibly easy to find. Dongdaemun Design Plaza is right across the street. You can easily find it by taking the elevator down to the third basement floor of the building. They don't provide shampoo, conditioner, body wash, or scrubbing towels, so it's a good idea to bring your own. If you forget, they sell them at the entrance, which is convenient. For women, mugwort steaming is highly recommended! It costs 2,000 yen. It feels incredibly good and makes you sweat a lot. After that, getting a body scrub is the best! On the fourth basement floor, there's also a food court, a jjimjilbang (Korean sauna), and a relaxation area where you can unwind. Going in the morning is recommended as it's less crowded.

I'm Japanese! This was truly the best experience ever 💛 My husband is very large, so we rented hanbok from another shop and then came to EeHwa Studio for the photoshoot. The hanbok rental shop opened at 8:40 AM, and our photoshoot was scheduled for 9:00 AM, so I checked on Instagram beforehand to see if we might be late. They were very kind and accommodating. Then, after changing into our hanbok, we got lost on the way to the photoshoot location... I was flustered, worried about being late, and whether we'd even be able to do the shoot. My husband was sweating profusely... We were both quite stressed, but the photographer greeted us with such a kind smile. All my anxiety, tension, and worries instantly vanished. The photographer spoke Japanese and gave us various poses with such care, kindness, and fun. My husband is a bit shy, so he was quite apprehensive before the shoot, but the photographer was such a great flatterer! "You're doing so well!" "This looks great! So cool!" In the end, he was really getting into it and enjoying the photoshoot, haha. The finished photos are also wonderful, and I find myself looking at them many times a day. The download process was easy too 😊 I would love to request another photoshoot someday if our family grows 💛 Thank you so much! 🌼

The place was really calm and peaceful while the teacher was very patient and helpful throughout the whole process. There are many colorful pieces and using the different shapes made from abalone shell was really interesting.

Such a fun and unique experience. Lee was a fantastic teacher and made the activity fun and friendly. Highly recommend as a chance to make your own souvenir to take home as a memory
