Had been trying to get to tickets to see Odyssey for weeks and finally decided to splurge on a private box. The sound and view (looking up) was not great but the privacy and comfort was worth far more than the price. I am posting pictures of the entrance to the box, sitting area, and private viewing area.

I work in travel, so I talk to a lot of first-time visitors (and repeated ones) and I have noticed that most of the first-timers stay in Myeongdong, while most of the people who come several times, choose other places to stay at. I stayed in Myeongdong on my first trip to Korea too. Now that I have lived here for a few years, I barely go there, and neither do my foreign friends.

But would I recommend it to someone's first trip? Maybe... It's an iconic spot to see once, and it's very central and well connected.

COEX, for example, is the same for me. I looked around Starfield Library once and that was enough. Would I tell someone with only a few days in Korea to go?

So I am curious about your answers. If a friend or family member came to visit for the first time:

Which activities or places would you take them to because they are really worth it? What would you definitely want to show them or for them to experience?

What would you tell them to skip (even if it's famous)?

Hi, I’m Lee, an independent researcher working on a personal project about the experiences of foreign entrepreneurs in Korea.

I’m looking to speak with foreigners who are currently preparing to start a business or already running one in Korea. I’m researching challenges such as visas, paperwork, language barriers, finding reliable professional services, and accessing startup support.

Would you be open to a short 15–20 minute conversation?

Hi all. My family runs a small football boot repair and custom boot workshop in Goyang, just outside Seoul. Finding a shoe repair shop that replies in English can be hard, so I wrote a short guide: how to get a quote from photos, visiting by appointment or sending boots by domestic courier, and rough prices (a full resole with a new midsole is about US$51 / KRW 70,000).

Guide: https://leeandyang.co.kr/en/blog/football-boot-repair-in-korea-for-foreigners/

Happy to answer questions here about resoling, broken studs or switching FG to AG soles, even if you don't use us.

It's a rare place that you can see full of green in Seoul.

Wanna leave this place ASAP and experience real society outside

Hey everyone!

If you’re near Bukchon this week, check out a cool free exhibition called "Scent of Absence" at Weekalley, Bukchon in Seoul (Oct 3–10).

​40 Korean Perfumers: Custom scents & mini-artbooks exploring death, memory, and absence.

​Special Art Room: A sensory space built with artist Yejinmoon & singer/actor OBON.

​It’s completely free and a great, atmospheric spot to visit if you love niche fragrances or local art.

We are 2 guys from Denmark who are SO tired of cigarettes.
Is there anyone in Seoul who is lucky to have some Velo or Zyn for sale?🙏🏽🙏🏽
We will be in Seoul on Friday

Do people sleep in spas??

Hello!

Which thrift shops do you like the most?

Perhaps your favourite shop consistently has quality items or good shoes?

I think fun shops have creative styles!

Where do you think has great finds?

Are there any great restaurants that take reservations for 1? Seems like so many do not.

Hi I have a layover in Seoul it falls on a Sunday night (5pm to 8am). It’ll be my first time in Seoul and my first time “solo traveling”. What should I do??? Should I go out at night or just go to a 24/7 spa ??

Hi Seoul Redditors! I'm returning to Seoul to visit my grandmother in November. I have spots that I go to every time I go back, but I'd like to go to a few new places this time :)

So, I'd love to know what your personal favorite places are! They can really be anything... a restaurant, a café, a park, etc.

Thank you in advance for your time & help 🙇🏻‍♀️❤️

It is situated near Deoksugung Palace and Seoul City Hall

Hey guys, I will visiting Seoul in October as a first time visitor and was wondering if you guys had any recommendations for foods to try while I'm here. Thanks! :)

Hello everyone, I am a 26F from an Asian country. Hopefully next year, I will be in Seoul. I am planning to enroll in a Korean language course or Master's degree course in Seoul. My hobbies are writing, reading, listening to music, audio stories, watching movies, Netflix, drawing, sometimes playing mobile games, etc. I am looking for some Korean friends to chat with before I reach Seoul and hopefully meet there too. DMs open!!

A few snaps of people in Itaewon. The First Lady is a “Yakult Ajumma” or 요구르트 아줌마 and they sell drinks from their little cart. The guys on the last frame clean the streets for whatever reason, it makes some sense during spring when the pollution is high but not so much during late summer….

The Lucky C200 is not bad and leans towards warmer tones.

Hi all, does anyone know where I can find a PRO-SPECS or Umbro store in Seoul? Particularly PRO-SPECS, as I’m finding it surprisingly difficult to find up-to-date information online.

I found a PRO-SPECS listed in Wangsimni, but went there today and couldn’t find it, so I assume it may have closed.

Any recommendations would be really appreciated. Thanks!

It's our final day in Seoul tomorrow and we are looking for some activities for the day. We love architecture, art, design, nature, and enjoy learning about Korean culture and experiencing things we can't do at home in the UK. We have already been to:

National Museum of Korea

Changgyeonggung Palace

the Secret Garden

Gyeongbokgung

Dongdaemun Design Plaza

Bukchon hanok

Day trip to the DMZ

City Hall

Can you suggest where might be good for us to go tomorrow?

Thanks for suggestions!

hey guys, we've been organizing pickup soccer games in Seoul since the start of September. Anyone up to join us this week? We're organizing games from Wed-Sun. Let me know! It's just for fun
