ÅLAND's Hongdae shop presents fashion and lifestyle goods from emerging Korean designers within a multi-brand retail format. Clothing sits alongside smaller items such as stationery, giving shoppers more than one route into the range. Its Hongdae address is on Yanghwa-ro 16-gil, distinct from the company's other shops in Seoul and elsewhere.
Starfield COEX Mall brings shopping and dining together in Seoul's Gangnam district near Samseong Station. Its directory includes fashion shops and beauty retailers, while the Starfield Library provides a space to browse books between shops. The aquarium and cinema are separately listed attractions within the complex, alongside the neighbouring convention facilities.
Korea's thousand-won shop, where the rule is that nothing goes over a dollar. Household goods, stationery, cosmetics and snacks in quantities that stop making sense. Myeongdong runs to four floors of it.
