The long-awaited weekend is here! The sky over Seoul looks even more beautiful! For shopaholics, holidays are meant for shopping! Are you, like me, someone who hasn't been out shopping in a long time while reading this article? Let me share with you the Seoul duty-free shopping guide right away. Which Seoul duty-free store is the best? Let's take a look at the Gangnam duty-free store in Korea—Hyundai Department Store Duty-Free! Grab your bag, let's go!

Speaking of where to shop in Seoul, compared to the crowds at Myeongdong a few years ago, the hot spots for shopping and check-ins in Korea have moved along Line 2 towards Gangnam. When I first came to Korea to study, I preferred shopping in Myeongdong. There were rows of shops and department stores, but there were too many tourists, and I got tired of going there. In recent years, there has been a big change. The Seongsu-dong shopping district has gradually developed. This trendy spot really hits the heart of young people. Many Korean celebrities and influencers have gone to Seongsu-dong for check-ins and photos. Many personalized trendy brands have opened nearby, exuding a sense of fashion.

After graduating and working in Seoul, I had more financial freedom and often went shopping in Gangnam. After three years of change, the truly popular places in Korea have also shifted to the Gangnam shopping district, such as Apgujeong, where celebrities often appear.

Speaking of shopping in Seoul, visiting duty-free stores is a must! The duty-free store located on Line 2, the core subway line in Seoul—Hyundai Department Store Duty-Free—is not only favored by international students and working people like me but also by many Koreans who go there. Below, I'll introduce this duty-free store located in the Gangnam area of Seoul, including the transportation and shopping tips for Hyundai Department Store Duty-Free!

Hyundai Department Store Duty-Free is located in the Gangnam shopping district. Take subway Line 2 to Samseong Station, exit from Gate 5, and walk for three minutes to see the Hyundai Department Store building. There are many tourist attractions and city landmarks nearby, such as Coex Mall, Starfield Library, and KTown4U[a1]. The 8th to 10th floors of the department store house Hyundai Department Store Duty-Free. Take the dedicated duty-free store elevator and you'll arrive at the spacious and bright duty-free store in no time!

If you are not a member, please go to the membership service counter on the 10th floor. When registering as a member, you can experience a variety of shopping experiences through various activities and discounts. The three-story shopping space includes hundreds of brand stores. Each brand has ongoing promotions, and the deals are especially generous during holidays.

The 8th floor mainly features luxury brands, the 9th floor has beauty, skincare, and fashion sections, and the 10th floor houses small appliance shops and Korean specialty food items. At the duty-free store, you can also find the latest trendy items at the forefront of fashion. The variety of products is so rich that you can't stop shopping.

To make shopping more convenient for customers, Hyundai Department Store Duty-Free also operates an online duty-free store. With the app, you can shop online via your mobile phone before departure or during your trip, and finally pick up your items at designated locations, saving time and effort!

Of course, I still prefer offline duty-free stores. Going out shopping also helps relieve stress. Can't wait to visit this Seoul Gangnam duty-free store for shopping? Pack your bags and set off now!
