Where did I go after class during my study-abroad-month? (1)

These past couple of days have been relatively free
(because there were no more tests 🥹),
So I want to talk about yesterday after school,
Actually, for many days after school I didn’t feel brave enough to go out and have fun,
Need to stay at my place to review.
I went out yesterday because I had a reservation at a Korean barbecue restaurant
'Ilpyeon Deungsim (Myeong-dong branch)'!

I'm afraid I'll forget to include the address as I write, so I'll put it here first~
📍Address: 3F, 18 Myeongdong 10-gil, Jung-gu, Seoul
⏰Hours: 12:00 to 00:00 (closed for a break from 15:00 to 17:00)
Ipyeon Deungsim is actually closer to Myeongdong Station exit 8,
But since I was starting from Idae Station,
Seeing I had plenty of time and didn't want to transfer lines,
Then take the subway directly to Euljiro 1-ga Station, which is also on Line 2 like Sinchon University.
If you haven’t gotten the 'Lotte Department Store (Myeong-dong) T-money card' yet, getting off at Euljiro 1-ga Station might actually be more convenient, since the Lotte Department Store (Myeong-dong) is directly connected to that subway station.
You can first go to Lotte Department Store at B1, Tax Refund counter (near GUCCI) to get this T-money card,

Just show your passport and fill out an email, and you can get a limited-edition tourist membership card with built-in T-money card functionality for free.




If you plan to go shopping, you really have to bring it, no question!
It gets you discounts at Lotte-affiliated businesses, discounts at 7-Eleven, and it's also a very pretty card that includes T-money card functionality.

📍Address: Address is: Seoul Station, Jung-gu, Namdaemun-ro 81 (Seoul Special City Jung-gu Namdaemun-ro 81)
🚇 Near Exit 7 of Euljiro 1(il)-ga Station on Subway Line 2
That’s the end of the introduction,
Back to my route,
On the way... I saw another street snack stall 🥹
Should I pick a day to go back and do another street shopping run?

There were lots of Olive Young stores while walking around,
I went in to restock since I still had quite a bit of time 🫣



This time I picked a few sheet masks I’d heard about for a long time but never tried,
Includes four kinds, including Torriden and Abib
I also repurchased LG Claren WHITENOW whitening teeth strips.


Then, while looking at Google Maps, I might accidentally pass by
Line Friends Square.
📍 Address: Seoul Station, Jung-gu, Myeongdong-gil 43 (1-2F)
43 Myeongdong-gil, Jung-gu, Seoul 1–2F (43 Myeongdong-gil, Jung-gu, Seoul)

Oh 😯 right when I walked in it felt like the vibe was 'G-Dragon isn’t planning to let anyone go,' the place was filled with all kinds of products for G-Dragon’s daughter ZOA. I kept checking in and ended up accidentally buying two pens (one black and one mint green) and a blind box, I’m really as clumsy as all of you FAM 🫣








There was also an enlarged ZOA scene on site


The camera takes photos for you as a free keepsake,
But unfortunately the mini ZOA figures in different outfits were already sold out early.





Oh 😯 and on the other side there's also a wall with handprints left by BTS members, plus lots of BT21 displays.
Like many ARMYs, I checked in again.





Then I checked the time and it was about time to go.
I had to pretend I couldn't see the shops along the way,
Headed straight to 'Ilpyeon Deungsim'...

(To be continued next time, I didn't expect it would take so long just to write about getting there)
