Seongsu-dong is a new landmark leading Seoul's fashion trends in recent years. You can take Seoul Subway Line 2 to Seongsu Station, which is convenient! As Seongsu-dong's popularity rises, many well-known brands, niche designer brands, and unique trendy brands have moved here, transforming into stylish individual stores, concept stores, multi-brand stores, and comprehensive cultural spaces. There are also many photogenic restaurants and cafes along the streets, full of atmosphere.

If you want to shop at an indoor department store, you can take Subway Line 2 to Samseong Station. Near Samseong Station, there are Hyundai Department Store Trade Center and COEX MALL. Hyundai Department Store Trade Center gathers overseas fashion boutiques, popular cosmetics, fashionable jewelry watches, and luggage brands. The environment is excellent, allowing you to enjoy a leisurely shopping time. COEX MALL has the Starfield Library worth visiting, don't miss it!

- Hongdae, Sinchon

Hongdae and Sinchon are geographically close, with more than three Korean universities nearby and university streets. Everyone must have heard about the street performances in Hongdae—the singing and dancing atmosphere is fantastic, like a continuous audio-visual feast.

The red mirror in front of Sinchon Station is also a filming location for many Korean dramas and variety shows, worth taking photos to share on social media. Whenever I meet friends in Sinchon, I always say, "Meet near the red mirror," carrying many beautiful memories.
