It is a must to be claimed, given that it is free for tourists like us. Especially when you are just near Myeong-dong

With the yen's depreciation, this voucher is really appreciated 🥺✨ Some Olive Young staff don't know about this voucher, so it might be a good idea to ask if you can use it once before purchasing! I want to buy it again!!
TU *****

Cash vouchers are really convenient. You can use them by just scanning the QR code. The exchange rate is also very good. I will buy them again next time I need them.

This time, I bought 1 kg of soy sauce pickled crab roe on Klook, and also ordered other meals on site, both raw and cooked. The whole family enjoyed the meal very much!

I saw this coupon on social media and decided to buy it. The yen is getting weaker, but I still feel like it's expensive, so this is the best coupon for shopping without feeling like you're missing out!! I'll use it again the next time I go to Korea!!
WU *******

The Nanta show is suitable for all ages and the whole audience cheered loudly. I really recommend everyone to come and watch it. It is really comfortable to come in the cold weather. It is the number one event!
