Introducing the popular and trendy towns in Seoul, Korea that you should definitely check out!
The president of a Korean apparel company who knows Seoul inside and out will show you the latest ways to get around the area, where you'll find popular Korean brands and stylish Korean cafes.
1. Hongdae: A city where young people gather
Shibuya in Korea.
It is a bustling city for young people as it is home to one of Seoul's most famous universities.
At night, there are many clubs and it also has a bustling downtown side.

2. Itaewon, the Roppongi of Seoul
This town, famous for the Netflix original drama Itaewon Class, is best visited at night.
There are many foreigners living locally and there are many flashy bars and pubs.
If you are visiting during the day, we recommend going to the next station, Hannam-dong.
Hannam-dong is filled with stylish shops and cafes, so you're sure to find something you like.

summary
In what order do you recommend going?
If you are new to Korea, I recommend starting from the top.
The tourist spots are arranged from top to bottom, so it's easy to understand Japanese and have fun.
English is the official language in Itaewon and there are literally no Japanese people in Apgujeong, so the bottom two are more for experts!
