Review
Today we're taking you to Shoopen, the affordable shoe store loved by Koreans and foreigners alike.
We've brought you to the Hongdae branch, conveniently located right by exit 1 of the subway station.
When you enter the shop, there are displays of collaboration merch which, when we went, included FCMM, a popular sportswear brand.
The shoes from this collection were very cute, with a variety of styles and colors that can be matched to different outfits easily, making them a versatile addition to any wardrobe.
For the brand collabs, as you can see, also included different styles of bag.
For a more sporty look, we definitely recommend the FCMM bag.
If that's not your thing, there's the earthy-toned Jeon Hwang Il collab merch that has a more chill vibe.
And if you're looking for cute and simple, the Be My Love by Bambi Girl collection will be perfect for you.
This is bound to be a very popular area of the store because these shoes are versatile and stylish.
They even have ones that add a little extra height, which was our favorite.
If you're indecisive, you can just let your MBTI personality type pick your show color for you.
