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! 🌼

Had a wonderful time here! I did this as a solo day during a group trip and I am glad I did. I had the class to myself and it allowed me to truly expand my work and understand how to create my ring! Staff were welcoming and knowledgeable and gave lots of advice while teaching. I want to note that if you want to have another color or more than 1 gem, you have to come in another day for pickup.

We found this hair salon in Hongdae on Klook. After entering, various staff members greeted us, and their English was excellent, allowing for seamless communication. Although we initially purchased a haircut, we also added a 19-step hair treatment, which was incredibly relaxing, especially the far-infrared massage – a delightful surprise! The resulting hairstyle was also very lovely.

Our guide, Sam, showed us the small distillery and explained everything in detail in very good English. He was patient, answered every question, and happily introduced us to the world of Soju. We were in a large group of over 12 people (we were only two). The tour was well-booked. Everyone was invited to a WhatsApp group, which provided information about the meeting point and schedule. The meeting point was a bit unclear. Tip: A photo of the exact spot would help. The organizer was friendly and open. He gave us several Sojus to taste and gave us a good introduction to Korean drinking culture. The distillery is small and charming, but unfortunately, you can't buy everything you taste. Nevertheless, it was absolutely worth it. Important tip: Don't come on an empty stomach! There will be a lot of drinking – definitely eat something beforehand. Overall, a recommended and entertaining experience for anyone who likes Korean Soju and the culture behind it.

Had a great experience at Juno Hair with their premium scalp treatment and haircut. Despite the language barrier, the staff communicated really well and made me feel comfortable throughout the appointment. Yeona was especially great — she helped me a lot and gave good suggestions that suited my hair and face shape. As someone shy and introverted, I really appreciated her calm and gentle approach. The scalp treatment was very relaxing, and my hair feels softer, healthier, and less frizzy after the visit. Would definitely recommend, especially for foreigners visiting Korea!

Such a fun and unique experience to try in Korea! We followed a video tutorial step by step while the staff were there to guide us whenever needed. The staff were also very warm and friendly, which made the whole session even more enjoyable. Definitely worth going for if you want to create your own signature scent!
