Things to do in Shinsegae Myeongdong

The half-day BTS ARMY tour was truly enjoyable and much appreciated. Our tour guide, Rachel, was incredibly sweet, friendly, and knowledgeable, which made the experience even more special. She also arranged a very comfortable ride for our small group, making the tour smooth and relaxing. We had the chance to visit several meaningful places connected to BTS, including spots the members used to frequent when they were still trainees, and of course the HYBE office. For any ARMY visiting Seoul, this tour is a wonderful way to see these memorable locations and feel a deeper connection to BTS’s journey.

I only wanted it for 48 hours, and I only had a physical card. When I arrived at the airport, the exchange store was already closed. The next day, I had to take a bus back to the airport to pick it up, and I also took care of my SES application. In 48 hours (three days), I visited N Seoul Tower, Hanboknam Bukchon Hanok Village Store, Sea Life Coex Aquarium, and Lotte World. Even though I went to Lotte World on a Friday, it was still very crowded. It took 1.5 hours to queue for just one ride, which was incredibly frustrating. I later found out that Korean children were on winter break. I highly recommend visiting the Sea Life Coex Aquarium; you can spend 1.5-2 hours there. I had originally planned to visit the Seoul Sky Observatory, but when I got there, I found out the ticket was only 10% off. I had researched it and then put it aside, not checking again before my trip, so I had to give up on that attraction and went to Lotte Mart instead.

This time, Teacher Kim Yu Jeong conducted our color test. My mom and I don't understand much Korean, so we arranged for a Chinese translator (I heard there's a Cantonese translator before 4 PM!). This time, I found the colors that suit me best. Personally, I think the most useful part was the makeup choices and hair/nail colors 🤤💕. I would recommend friends to come and try it!

Eddie is a fantastic guide! His first-hand experience at the DMZ added a layer of depth you won't find on a standard tour. He was full of fascinating details, yet gave us ample time to explore and take photos at our own pace. If you're looking for an educational and well-organized DMZ experience, this is the one to book!

This was the most anticipated part of our trip to Korea. JiEun was very patient and explained everything in great detail, giving us a new understanding of colors. 😂 She even recommended cosmetics at the end, highly recommended!

We really enjoyed our DMZ tour in South Korea. Our tour guide, Dennis, was extremely knowledgeable and made the experience very educational. The tour gave us a deep understanding of the history between North Korea and South Korea, which made it much more than just sightseeing. It was both informative and thought-provoking, and one of the highlights of our trip. If you’re visiting South Korea, I highly recommend this tour to anyone who wants to learn more about the country’s history. Thank you, Dennis, for making the tour so engaging and memorable!

All the staff at the shop are kind and provide excellent service. Many staff members speak Japanese, and the atmosphere inside the store is bright and welcoming. Both the massage and the small-face bone correction treatment were very thorough and felt wonderful. The owner was also very funny and a genuinely friendly person. I definitely want to go again! Massage Therapist: HARA Esthetics. Atmosphere: Very good. Service: Good.

"I was very impressed with my visit. The female staff member who assisted us was lovely. This is an excellent alternative for those wanting to avoid heavy crowds and outdoor elements."
