[Special tours leaving with AREX] TOP 4 Myeongdong SPA Brand Shopping




Greeting from AREX :)



Today, I will introduce the SPA brand stores which you can find in the ever so famous
Myeongdong neighborhood which is famous for being where the majority of travelers
coming to Korea flock to.
Myeongdong is in the center of tourism and shopping, so how about we take a look at
what kind of SPA brand shopping is available?




Global No. 1 Recognition and Sales, ZARA



While SPA brand’s unique characteristic is it’s small quantity production, short
production time, lower quality and quick turnover ratio, ZARA takes it to another level by
having, on average, 11,000 types of products for sale and immediately halting
production and sale of any products that do not sell well.




Further, unlike other SPA brands, ZARA has the TRF(Trafaluc) line that targets females in
their teens and twenties with a focus on liveliness and femininity.


Sweden’s Representative SPA Brand, H&M


Starting in Sweden and becoming a SPA brand, H&M has its first shop at Noon Square in Myeongdong selling clothes with reasonable prices and designs and fabrics and basic items throughout the store. True to the SPA brand core, H&M also has a fast turnover rate on its clothes.

Further, H&M hosts an end-of-the-year collaboration with designers and pop stars to create a new collection to sell expensive designs at a cheap price.


Korea’s SPA Brand, TOP 10


Korea’s SPA brand, TOP 10, came out relatively late, however thanks to it’s diverse efforts it became widely known and expanded its stores rapidly to become an influential brand.

TOP 10 is known for being inexpensive, putting on frequent sales, and having A/S possible items.  Most SPA brands do not have an A/S team, thus making TOP 10’s A/S team it’s special advantage.

TOP 10’s prime products are quite basic and easy going, but collaboration printed tees and colorful designs are also sol, thus showing off its efforts to distinguish itself from other brands. 


Young and Trendy Designs, 8 Seconds


Korea’s other SPA brand 8 Second’s special feature is the distinctive young and trendy feel of its clothing. Paired with its bold designs, 8 Seconds is leading in popularity amongst the youth.

Greeting from AREX. :)


Aren’t you curious to what is Korean street food exactly?

I will introduce you to a place chalk full of delicious street food: Myeongdong!


Tornado Potatoes



The representative street food of Myeongdong, the tornado potato, is a potato sliced in a spiral like a tornado fried on a long skewer. There are both an onion and cheese flavor and the price in 4,000 won.


Egg Bread with Seeds



If Busan has hodduk with seeds, then Myeongdong has egg bread with seeds. This bread with almonds, peanuts and sunflower seeds on top is popular for its savory flavor and great texture. It’s also inexpensive at just 2,000 won.


Addictive Corn



Savory and grilled golden-brown, this sweet and salty “addictive corn” is placed on a skewer and slathered with butter. It sells for 4,000 won a piece.


Hongmandang: Strawberry Mochi




The menu is diverse with grapes, kiwi, oranges and the like. However, strawberries are the most popular and representative food here. Hongmandang sells them in a limited quantity so you have to be quick to buy them!




Each one is 2,800 won and if you buy several they will put them in a box for you.

We have now finished looking at the various street foods available in Myeongdong!
