We dedicated our last full day roaming around Myeongdong.
How to go:
1. Get down at Myeongdong station (Line 4)
2. Go out exit 8 (or you can take your pick, there are signs as you tap out of the station but during our stay, we always went out on exit 8)
What to expect when you roam around/What to shop:
A lot of street food, multiple skin care shops, fake streetwear (they sell it in carts along the road), authentic streetwear (they have boutiques for mixed streetwear brands).
What to shop:
1. Definitely skin care (ask for free stuff if you will hoard)
2.Authentic streetwear (just buy at big boutiques!)
3. Fake streetwear (If you can’t afford the real deal! Their quality is insane! But check the prints)

Just came across your blog last night and I must say, I love your SoKor blog!! It’s very helpful specially if your planning to go on a DIY tour! I actually have your blog pinned on my desktop! Hahaha. Looking forward to reading more of your blogs soon!!! I hope you start vlogging too!
Hi Aly!! Thank you so much for showing love for my blog 💖I will work hard and write more helpful blog posts 😊I started making videos but they are travel films rather than vlogs 😊I noticed there are already a lot of people doing vlogs so I decided to do something different but equally as helpful 😊❤️️
I’m planning a trip to Korea and your blog has been so helpful! My sister is a pescatarian, does the bbq chicken place have other options besides chicken?
