🗓️ 3/10 (Tue) Late night: Arrival and first barbecue
23:45: Arrive at Hongdae Station Exit 7, walk to the guesthouse to drop off luggage.
00:15: [Muso Kimchi Samgyeop Hongdae Branch]
Distance: About 800 meters on foot from the guesthouse (10-12 minutes).
Note: If you're too tired, there are always yellow taxis at the entrance, they'll use the meter from the starting fare. This place is perfect for a first heavy-flavored reward after getting off the plane.
⚠ Reminder: Finish your last pre-op meal by 4:00 AM.
🗓️ 3/11 (Wed) Surgery day: rest quietly after surgery
10:45: Take a taxi to HERSHE Clinic.
15:00: After the surgery, return to the Hongdae guesthouse to rest.
Dinner suggestion: Because the eyes are the most swollen and energy is lowest the first night after surgery, we recommend takeout or delivery.
There’s a convenience store downstairs from the guesthouse where you can buy drinks and ice.
Recommend ordering Bonjuk, there’s a branch near Hongdae Station, have your husband pick it up and bring it back to the guesthouse living room to eat.
🗓️ 3/12 (Thu) Recovery period: Mapo food tour
Lunch: [Jinmi Shikdang] Soy-marinated crab
Distance: a taxi ride takes only 10 minutes (about 3 km).
Route: It's just south of your accommodation, super close!
Afternoon: [Olive Young Hongdae Flagship]
Flow: Right at Hongdae Station Exit 9, within walking distance of the guesthouse.
Post-op tip: Wear sunglasses while walking around, and when you get tired you can always head back to the guesthouse to rest with a cold compress.
Dinner: [Godosik (Mapo)]
Distance: On the way back from Jinmi Restaurant, also in Mapo.
🗓️ 3/13 (Fri) Full energy: Myeongdong, Dongdaemun, sashimi
Afternoon: [Myeongdong Shopping District] + [Seongsu Samgyetang (One Chicken)]
These two areas are on the same line (Line 2). I recommend visiting Myeongdong first to browse, then have dinner in Seongsu-dong for chicken soup to help your recovery.
Late-night snack: [NYUNYU Dongdaemun]
After shopping in Seongsu-dong, take a taxi 10 minutes to Dongdaemun. This area is the main late-night hotspot, your three male friends definitely won’t be bored.
Return trip: If you're tired from walking, take a taxi back to your Hongdae guesthouse.
🗓️ 3/14 (Sat) Perfect finale: popular sashimi spot with a line
Dinner: [Bada Hoesarang Hongdae Main Branch]
Distance: About a 15-minute walk from your guesthouse.
Tip: The lines at this place get crazy long, so have your husband or a friend go early to register in person. You can wait at your guesthouse and head over when the ferry is almost there, making the most of being nearby!
