Our Visit
Today, I visited 'K-Exchange Red Road Branch' located just a 1-minute walk from Exit 7 of Hongdae Station.
There is a monitor on the wall where you can see the exchange rates of the day, so you can compare the exchange rates of different countries at a glance.
At the store, they provide cash envelopes, Mapo District gourmet guide pamphlets, and WIFI.
They also sell SIM cards, so please consult with a staff member if you need one.
To exchange currency, simply show the Creatrip coupon and your ID (passport) to the staff. Do not forget to bring your ID to confirm your identity!
Once the staff verifies the coupon, the currency exchange process begins. Please place the currency you brought on the tray and hand it over.
Then they use the machine inside the counter to count the bills and prepare the amount in KRW according to the exchange rate.
It was quickly converted to KRW! They also give a receipt, so you can double-check the amount.
After exchanging money, put the money into the provided envelope.
I also tried exchanging dollars.
You can exchange various currencies such as Yen, Taiwan Dollars, Hong Kong Dollars, and Euros.
The store staff can communicate in Chinese, Japanese, and English, so you don't need to worry about language barriers.
This time I exchanged Hong Kong dollars.
They again count the bills quickly with the machine inside the counter and prepare the equivalent amount in KRW for exchange.
Please check if the exchange was successful by directly verifying the numbers on the small monitor and the receipt.
Lastly, I exchanged some yen.
Please quickly count the number of bills with the machine inside the counter and prepare the amount in Korean Won to match the exchange amount.
I completed the currency exchange easily, and quickly.
If you leave a review on Creatrip after exchanging, you can participate in the lucky draw event. You can participate once per account!
There are ranks from 1st to 5th, and if you hand over your raffle ticket to the staff, they will exchange it for a prize.
1st place will receive an Olive Young gift card, 2nd and 3rd places will receive Korean traditional pattern magnets, 4th place will receive HBAF almonds, and 5th place will receive a face mask pack. However, the prizes for the lottery event may differ each time, so the prizes may vary when you visit.
I picked the 1st place and 5th place. The first place prize was a 10,000 KRW worth of Olive Young gift certificate.
And for the 5th prize, I received a face mask. Exchange your currency at K-Exchange Red Road and don't miss your chance for good luck!
Not only that, but also enjoy the massage chair service located in the basement of the store after currency exchange!
It was so spacious and pleasant that it didn't feel like a basement.
For just 3,000 KRW, you can enjoy a relaxing break on a massage chair. You can use the massage chair for free after exchanging money through Creatrip, so don't miss the chance!
Please note that the usage instructions for the massage chair are written on the wall, so please check them before using it.
