 Typical Saturday in Myoungdong by jburron
Like Namdaemun it stretches for quite a few blocks, turn around if you start to get into areas with fewer than 100 people on the street (you're outside of the Myoungdong).
Pretty much anything that a young person would want. Real and fake clothes (2 Adidas stores with 20-foot Beckham posters within a block of each other), accessories, tourist stuff. There are bazzar-department stores (like in Dongdaemun), chain fashion and other stores (like in the West) and street sellers (see What to Pay)
Bargain everywhere. Never pay full price, always 10%-20% should come off. Never take your wallet out until you have the price firm. Never get too excited about an item. Always show flaws or make up some option or color you would prefer (one that they cannot give, thus should give you a discount for not having it). Always buy 2 or more items...should get a 20% discount at least for that. If you get 30%-35% off consider yourself a local.
Not likely to get a discount in the Western/Chain stores, but worth a try. Leave a Comment Theme: Discount StoreAddress: Myoungdong Subway (Line 4) or any taxiDirections: Once off the subway go above ground (try to get out by one of the north exits, near Galleria). Then stroll into Myoungdong.

Myeong-dong is Korea's trendiest and most expensive shopping area, with over 300,000 square meters of shops selling clothes, shoes, handbags, accessories, and cosmetics. Many department stores also have a major presence here Like Lotte Department Store (very expensive items indside!) and Migliore. Myeong Dong 's main street is packed with outlets and boutiques selling quality, branded products. But, the shops within the side alleys of the area mostly deal with non branded items.
Day or night, young people always crowd into the numerous restaurants, cafes, coffee shops, and night clubs in the area.
Luxury Brands Galore whether local or from Abroad!
Since it the shops found in the area usually sell name brand items, the prices charged for the items sold here are way higher, in contrast to those sold in Seoul 's such shopping areas as Namdaemun and Dongdaemun so be prepared to maxx out your credit card!

Myeongdong is one of the major shopping areas in Seoul and there are many streets lined with clothing stores, restaurants, department stores etc. The crowd is huge especially during the weekends, mostly teenagers who are dressed to kill. A visit to Seoul will not be complete without doing some shopping at Myeongdong, but be warned that the prices are not cheap here. Leave a Comment Theme: Women's Clothes

All the bags, shoes, accessories such as earrings in Korea are really beautiful. It's pretty hard to differentiate from their authentic or non-authentic bags. They have different grades for non-authentic bags and watches. Heard that those displayed that cost cheaper are usually the lower grades items. They usually keep the better ones and only show when requested.
Designs of earrings are really nice and price is reasonable. Worth buying! Theme: Other
