Shopping in South Korea
Authored By:
On the third floor StyleNanda's stores in Myeongdong, we ran into a beach-themed cafe!
Shopping in Dongdaemun, each floor was filled with vendors and their products stretching from one side to the room all the way to the other side. Something I learned from shopping here is how to bargain and value items!
A shot of the store signs lined up in Myeongdong, famous for its many stores, a shopping heaven.
In Korea, there are even stores dedicated to chat apps! This was taken in a KakaoTalk Store where it sold almost every thing you can think of, from key chains to lotion! All of course plastered their little cute characters that are used as emoticons in the app.
You can even find your favorite idols promoting shoes or a sweater while shopping. As seen, TWICE's shoes, TWICE Teens, being displayed front and center in a shoe shop.
Another example of K-pop found in shopping. BTS' collaboration with Puma was released a couple of days ago and every major korean shoe store is selling them!
