Near Hongik University Station, there is an area where you can find many shops selling cute items for diary. In this post, we will introduce 3 places in Yeonnam-dong.
#1 Mallang Store (말랑상점)
The first store is Mallang Store. This store is in collaboration with a few illustrators and the work completed by the illustrators can be purchased here.
If there's any illustration artist that you like and you want to buy their items, it is recommended for you to check out the store's Instagram for available stocks.

Besides stickers for decorating diary, you can also buy wallets, socks and phone accessories which are merchandises from the collaboration with illustration artist.
