I went to Chakkan Shoes, a three-story store in Hongdae, Korea, and Olive Young in front of Hongdae Station! [Chakkan Shoes] Access: 4-minute walk from Exit 9, Hongdae Station, Line 2 Opening hours: 12:00-22:00 (last entry 21:30) ⭐️It was easy to browse because there was a wide variety of shoes lined up by size on the 1st to 3rd floors! [Olive Young] Access: 2-minute walk from Exit 4, Hongdae Station, Line 2 Opening hours: 10:00-21:00 ⭐️Oliyan is a must-visit place where you can get a lot of Korean skincare and cosmetics🫰🏻I bought a lot of packs! I especially recommend the UNOVE treatment, as it's popular among Korean girls and is also famous in Japan, so I bought some and it really made my hair smooth🧖🏻♀️ #Hongdae #HongdaeShopping #HighlyRecommended #BigEntrance #SeoulSoloTrip #SeoulShopping #KoreaOnly #KoreaTourism #KoreaTrip

If you want to have a stylish time in Hongdae, head to the exhibition (^^)❤︎ It's in the AK Building, right after you leave the station!! You can do a little shopping in this building, there are clothing stores, general stores, and even an official idol goods store with all the popular light sticks on display!! ︎ (There was also a new takoyaki shop from Osaka 🐙 We went to an exhibition called "what your color"~ We bought our tickets at an unfamiliar kiosk, and after the staff explained everything to us, we went inside ^ ^ There were so many photo spots that I was really excited! The rooms are divided by color, so no matter where you take a photo, it looks good👍👍 I think it took about two and a half hours😅 Also, be careful because there's no place to put your luggage...! Along the way, there's a wall with lots of colors lined up, so you can do your own personal color diagnosis there💟 Find out the color that suits you best✨ 🏠Seoul Mahougur's 188 AK&Hongdae 3-piece Amaji-yeon Jolis (188AK, Yanghwa-ro, Mapo-gu, Seoul & Eye Museum Jeris, 3rd floor, Hongdae) 11am-10pm every day ⚠️Until 31/7/2023⚠️ 🚃Hongdae Station #KoreaTrip #Korea #Hongdae #Exhibition #PersonalColor

These are cartoons from Korea and they even have apps named after them. I think there are a total of 8 characters and every one is unique. You will be able to spot their stores almost everywhere in Seoul. You can enter the stores and take nice photos. At the Hongdae branch, they even have a factory outlet too. You can buy discounted items here. The most famous character is Ryan, who looks like a bear but he is actually a lion. You will be able to buy many food items characterised by Kakao friends too. Have a seoul-prise in South Korea. #bucketlistreboot #southkorea #seoul #liveyourdreams #takethattrip

It covers all kinds of daily necessities, including stationery, household items, 3C accessories, beauty products, clothing, food, etc. It often launches joint products (for example, cooperation with brands such as Nike and LANEIGE) and seasonal limited products. The Seoul Hongdae store is the largest flagship store, with a themed exhibition area and a cafe (the signature dessert "Ryan Cheesecake" is very popular). The store has many spring plant products, and the spring plants with various funny shapes are very cute! #MarchGoodPlaces2025

#Seoul Itinerary Early in the morning, we came to the Kakao Friend Store theme museum in Gangnam District, Seoul, which is a dream place for fans of Kakao characters. The museum's exterior is designed with bright colors and cute shapes, which instantly caught our attention. Entering the museum, each exhibition hall is themed on a different character, vividly recreating the characters' daily scenes. From the furry Ryan to the playful Apeach, every corner is full of surprises. Especially in the interactive experience area, we used cameras to take photos of ourselves with the cartoon characters, which was very interesting. After visiting the exhibition hall, we went to the Kakao peripheral store downstairs and bought a variety of cultural and creative products and limited edition peripherals. Even the packaging bags were so attractive. We had lunch at a nearby cafe, which was also themed after Kakao characters. The desserts and drinks were so cute that we couldn’t resist trying them. In the afternoon, we moved to Sinsadong Boulevard, which is lined with designer cafes and boutiques, giving people a sense of fashion and literary atmosphere of Seoul. I took a break in a retro bookstore and spent a leisurely afternoon reading some contemporary Korean literature. In the evening, we feasted on grilled beef at a Korean restaurant on the boulevard. The aroma was so fragrant that it left a lasting impression.

Kakao Friends Hongdae Flagship Store 📍162 Yanghwa-ro, Mapo-gu, Seoul, Good People Building, 1st to 3rd Floor ✔️The Kakao Friends Hongdae Flagship Store building has a total of 3 floors. The 1st and 2nd floors are the Kakao Friends Shop, and the 3rd floor is a cafe. ✔️It was great to see a variety of products, from the Ryan and Chunshik Harry Potter collaboration items to the newly released Kakao character Golgols goods.

Vega Bossam in Hongdae! It's so delicious♡♡ And it's good value for money! After relaxing at Kakao Friends, I went to this place behind the restaurant. I ordered the green onion bossam in the photo, and it came with so many small side dishes, rolled vegetables, and a soup that looks spicy but isn't spicy, for 11,000 won. Normal bossam is 10,000 won!! 1,000 won for a refill of rice lol I don't speak Japanese, but they don't mind using papago, so I was able to communicate and even borrowed the toilet with peace of mind. I often travel to Korea alone, and it was recommended that it's okay to go alone, so I went with a friend this time, but next time I'd like to go alone. For smokers, there is no smoking area, but as expected of Hongdae! Everyone was smoking outside, so don't worry♡ I really recommend going here at least once!! #Hongdae food #Vega Bossam

Kakao Friends Hongdae Flagship Store 📍162 Yanghwa-ro, Mapo-gu, Seoul, Good People Building, 1-3F ✔️There were a lot of cute Chunsik products, and I liked how they were organized by area! There was more to see than I thought. ✔️There was also a photo zone where you could take pictures with cute characters! ✔️They sell various products such as notebooks, dolls, stickers, and key rings. #DomesticTravel #KakaoFriendsShop #Hongdae

#favouriteitinerary Beer Bat," with "The Grill Wing & Rib" and "Premium Sports Pub" suggesting a playful theme. The additional phrases "The Grill Wing & Rib" and "Premium Sports Pub" indicate a focus not only on food but also on providing a rich sports viewing experience. Menu Highlights: The film strip image with food items suggests a diverse menu that likely emphasizes grilled items, such as wings and ribs, alongside other offerings like seafood and salads, catering to a variety of tastes. #travel #hongdaerestaurant #koreabbq

#newyearnewtrip You will be able to find cute stationary and electronic item at Kakao friends in Korea! As this is a Korean brand, you can get items from this shop as souvenirs for family and friends! Item range from pens, note books and files to items like electronic fan, portable charger and they even have portable charger for Apple Watch. However do note that items like portable fan is not always available. It might be also due to the seasons, hence it’s available during summer and not winter.

Currently, the Kakao Friends store at Hongik University Station is collaborating with Squid Game 2, and collaboration goods are available. Inside the store, you'll be surrounded by lots of goods and you'll get to meet the adorable Chunsiki! I recommend the cafe on the third floor. I didn't know there was a cafe, and I went to Kakao Friends with a full stomach, so it's a shame I couldn't try Chunsiki's favorite 🍠! If you go to this shop, be sure to stop by the cafe as well!! The cups are also very stylish ^_^

#magicalxmastrip Located on the 3rd floor of the Kakao Friends building near Hongik University Station, Gongmihak combines a modern, clean interior with a touch of luxury. The spacious layout and thoughtfully designed photo zones make it perfect for conversations and casual hangouts. What to Try: Matcha Salt Bread: A delightful surprise with its unique flavor—highly recommended! Latte: While the beans lean more on the sour side than rich, it's worth a try for coffee enthusiasts. 📍 Address: 162 Yanghwa-ro, Mapo-gu, Seoul, Kakao Friends 3rd Floor Whether you're there for the stylish atmosphere or a tasty treat, Gongmihak is a lovely addition to your Hongdae cafe-hopping list!

Gonf Mi Hak Cafe in Korea where you can enjoy a fantastic space inspired by space 🌙 This cafe is a collaboration with Kakao Friends, which is very popular in Korea 🍰 To get there, take Exit 9 of Hongik University Station on Subway Line 2 and walk for 1 minute to the top of the Kakao Friends building 🧸 Photos taken in the space-themed moon photo booth are sure to look great on Instagram! ️ The moon photo booth has a modern image, but the interior has a traditional Korean atmosphere, with a calm space where you can feel the wood, such as pine trees. The atmosphere of the restroom was also very nice, and I felt like I was on the moon lol There were many types of desserts and drinks, and they were all so cute that it was a shame to eat them💞It was hard to choose between baked goods such as financiers with rabbit pictures and desserts in collaboration with Kakao Friends👀 It was hot outside, so I chose Orange Aid, but it was so carbonated and delicious that I gulped it down! Everything tasted delicious, and I was able to spend a very meaningful time in a relaxing and relaxing space❣️ It's in Hongdae, so it's easy to access, and there's a Kakao Friends shop on the floor below, so you can buy souvenirs after enjoying the cafe!
