I will introduce my 4-day trip to Korea from September 13 to September 15!!
We arrived at the airport around noon after about 2 hours by plane!! This time, since there were almost no COVID-19 restrictions, we were able to leave the airport relatively quickly!!
We left the airport around 1:30! From here, we will take the airport railroad to Seoul!
I transferred to Line 4 at Seoul Station and went to Myeong-dong Station. It was less crowded than I expected and very easy to ride!!
I thought it would be crowded since I went before Chuseok, but since September 13th was a Friday, I think it was a bit less crowded!!
First, when we arrived at Myeongdong, we went to exchange money. We only added money to the T-money card to get from the airport to Myeongdong, so we exchanged the remaining amount we wanted to charge to the WOWPASS at a place called Money Planet in Myeongdong, which had a good rate.

There was a coupon on Creatrip that gave a discount on fees, so I was able to exchange at a higher rate!!🩷💕🩷
We also received mini-sized Gold Bears at the exchange office. Haribo, right?! Everyone loves them!
Next, we went to the largest Olive Young in Myeongdong!!
They are always offering a free gift when you register using a QR code, so I went to get it!!
It is highly recommended when you go to Myeongdong because you can get free samples and products!!
After that, I went to skin1004!!
You can get free samples by playing simple games or taking photo booth pictures there🩷💕😭
I'm very happy because the sample comes in a bottle that is close to the actual product!
I had a lot of things I wanted to do on the first day, so in Myeong-dong, I bought socks underground and collaborated with Yoajong on ice cream at GS25,
Potato Bread at MEGACOFFEE
Eat...
Next, we went to Dongdaemun. Socks were 7 pairs for 1000 won!!!!!!!
At Dongdaemun, I had a skin diagnosis at the Design Plaza and got free samples! Then I walked to The Mask Shop and MIMILINE.
We also went to nyunyu!! MIMILINE is famous for selling affordable skincare products! It's good to compare with The Mask Shop while buying👍🏻👍🏻 I bought skincare products at The Mask Shop!! Sometimes they seem to have counterfeits, so you should be careful.
In those situations, I recommend using an app called hiddentag that can recognize genuine faces by scanning a QR code!!
I didn't buy anything at nyunyu, but I bought earrings, a necklace, and hair accessories at MIMILINE!!
At this point, it was around 5 PM!
I got off at Seongsu Station heading towards Seongsu from there.
The first place I went to was the hince flagship store!! I went there because it recently opened, and they were having an opening campaign!!
I bought two lipsticks and one foundation!!
If you buy two lipsticks, you get a lipstick pouch for free, so I got that for free too!!
Additionally, I received a dark-tinted clear lip gloss with a plumper as a gift!!
There was also an Innisfree flagship store on the street with the Hince flagship store, so I wanted to go there, but I didn't have time, so I gave up. 😭😭😭
This is definitely a place I want to visit next time I go to Korea.
There's a flagship store of Fee right in front of that Innisfree flagship store,
That place is a flagship store famous for pudding pots!! I bought an educational toy there!! At this fee's flagship store, if you purchase one product, you get a pudding pot keyring as a gift! I had my favorite color put into the silver keyring!!
Very cute💕🩷💕🩷❤️🔥
After that, we participated in a reserved whipped pack cleanser making experience!! It involved foaming the raw solution to make the pack cleanser and then putting it into a container!!
The packaging is very cute, and it's perfect as a souvenir from a trip to Korea!!
I think it will also be a reward for myself!!
After that, I also wanted to go to the select shop that was right in front of me, but I just didn't have the time, so I couldn't go 😭😭
I think the time there was around 7:30 PM. Most good stores tend to close at 8 PM, so there was very little time left.
The next place I went was the flagship store of DAISYGEEK, and on the same street, there was also a flagship store of Levi's, which I really wanted to visit.
But since there was no time, I hurried to the DAISYIK flagship store!
The one I wanted to buy was the new series of rose milk tea, but I ended up buying three items: eyeshadow, blush, and lipstick!!
At the DAISYKE flagship store, I received a manicure color, tint lip, and eyeshadow keyring!! I chose the eyeshadow keyring color with pink glitter. It's very cute!!
When you go down to the basement level 1, there's a place where you can get a decoration for a keyring, and you can choose one freely, and they even gave me another one as a gift!!
The gentleman was very kind and even applied samples like hand cream to my hands! At the dazeek flagship store, there's a café, but it closes at 7 PM, so by the time I went, it was already closed. 😭😭
So I definitely want to go here next time I visit Korea!
Then, I ran out of balance on my wowpass, so I walked to Seoul Forest to find a wowpass machine.
I remember feeling quite lonely because I couldn't find it easily. Since it was past 8 PM and I felt a bit uneasy, I headed towards the jjimjilbang where I was staying on the first day in Gangnam. On the way, I was lucky to accidentally find a wowpass machine! I arrived at the jjimjilbang in the Gangnam area! The nearest station was Sinsa Station, but when I arrived at Sinsa Station, it was raining heavily, which was tough.
I stayed at Spalei, and it was very convenient because it was close to the station. It's great because it's a women-only jjimjilbang.
We'll spend the night there and on the second day, we'll go to the makeup studio!! It's called studiojisoondom.

Got my makeup done beautifully
Since the makeup, hair setting, and photo studio are all in one building, I was able to have my photos taken in the most beautiful condition!! All the photos were sent to me by email, and I could choose and have them edited later. The final result was very beautiful!! After that, I went to Gangnam to eat jajangmyeon!!
It used to be a Chinese restaurant, but I asked someone in town if there was a good place to eat, and they took me there. It was very delicious. After eating jajangmyeon, I'm heading to Busan!!
I tried to go to Seoul Station to buy a high-speed train ticket, but since I hadn't made a reservation in advance, most of them were sold out. 😭😭
So I asked at the counter, and by chance, there was an extra ticket, so I was able to head to Busan!! Even so, I left Seoul at 2 PM and arrived at 8 PM. After arriving at Busan Station, I first went to Jagalchi Station and shopped at the International Market. There were lots of cheap clothes and stalls, and it was very nice!!
After that, we will head to the hotel!!
The hotel was in Haeundae, but there was something like drone projection mapping happening for 10 minutes at 8 PM and 10 PM. Unfortunately, I couldn't make it in time to see it when I arrived at the hotel. 😭🥺
Even so, the night view was very beautiful, and I stayed in a very luxurious room with two double beds, so I was very happy!! It's a hotel called Homers Hotel.

It was a very pleasant room with an ocean view!!
On the third day, I woke up around 7 o'clock and took a walk on Gwangalli Beach!!
There were a lot of objects, and it was very beautiful👍🏻👍🏻. Around 9 o'clock, we left the hotel and went to a cafe called ZM-illennial (Magnate Cafe) run by BTS Jimin's father!!
There were many paintings, and it felt like an art museum with a very sophisticated and beautiful atmosphere!!
There, I ordered a vanilla latte and strawberry tiramisu cake and ate them!
I went to Centum City Station and visited the Shinsegae Department Store!! There was a new fwee pop-up, and I bought a jelly pot!! When you buy a jelly pot, you get a mini keyring, so I made sure to get the keyring too!
After that, I will go to MUJI and buy Korean-exclusive yakgwa to take home!
On the way back, I stopped by Seomyeon Station and did some shopping at OLIVEYOUNG!!
It was very disappointing that there were some out-of-stock items! Then I arrived at Gimhae Airport, ate beef soup with rice at the airport, and went home!!
It was a very fun three days!!
But there are so many things I want to do, and I couldn't do them all, so I have regrets, but I hope to go to Korea again soon and enjoy it!!!!!!!
