come book shopping with me in Seoul + book haul! 📚 | vlog

come book shopping with me in Seoul again and my book haul!
wassup frens, I hope you are staying safe and healthy! I finally went offline book shopping, and this time I was determined to leave with books lol! I went to a farther Kyobo branch - and the main one in Seoul! I also tried doing captions, I hope they turned out okay 😭 I’m not sure I’ll be able to keep doing them though… 😔 I hope you guys enjoy this vlog, and let me know when you last went book shopping!

Everyone, so sorry!! I don't think my budget was 10,000 won (~10$)!! I honestly have no idea how I didn't catch that - unless these books were on a bigger sale than I remember, but if anything, I was probably able to stay within budget due to sales and coupons!! again, so sorry for the misinformation! 😭

[@zahrakateb-ep1zv]

9:42 it’s the cutest moment of the video “your saying hello with your feet”😂love that

[@dokjayoon]

oh thank you!! 🫣😆

[@oorinxx]

:o thats so nice to see so many english books in south korea! I love book shopping! Are books very expensive there? Considering its imported? I live in Indonesia, books are so expensive here :((

[@dokjayoon]

Yes! It was exciting to see how the English selection grew! 🤩 book shopping’s the best hehe! Oof, the books here are pretty expensive too! The range differs but sometimes it’s too shocking to buy 😂 They tend to be slightly cheaper online, so I buy most of my books online 😅

[@MemoryHereAndThere]

I love book shopping! 😍

[@dokjayoon]

seriously the best 😂

[@BookZealots]

Love the PF Flyers! I have two pairs. What a fun video. I have wanted to read The Secret History for years, but still don't have a copy. One day. LOL Ooh! Good reminder on the posture. I straightened up with you. I was wondering if you bought the Cat Who Saved Books. I'm interested in that one. It's good to have a budget and be selective about the purchases.

[@dokjayoon]

thank you so much! 🥰 yes, one day haha! honestly, booktok made me super curious and I wanted to try reading dark academia lol ah, that's amazing! I straightened my posture reading this comment LMAO and yes, I did buy The Cat Who Saved Books! It was too pretty not to get 😩 that's true! it'd be too dangerous if I hadn't had a budget 😂😂

[@apsarakhan1141]

Really helpful video.❤

[@dokjayoon]

Glad to hear that! ❤️ to be honest, a lot has changed since then, the English section became much smaller sadly 🥲

[@DanielaEsq]

Is that the 교보 at 광화문? I love that 교보, I go there just to look at book tho cus I usually buy them online 😅

[@dokjayoon]

yes it is!! honestly same lol I go to browse, write down the names or take pics and then buy them online!! it's cheaper online 😭

[@Lilyemaly]

OMG I love reading English books and I live in Seoul. Is this 교보문고 and are there still these many books there??

[@dokjayoon]

Yes it is 교보문고!! Unfortunately, they downsized the English section a little bit, but they still have a decent amount! It’s the one at 광화문, which I feel has the largest selection

Eu amo ler! Na minha cidade tem uma biblioteca e eu sempre pego livros lá:) estou lendo The 39clues agora

[@dokjayoon]

siiim, é o melhor!! kkk nossa que legal! eu sempre fui para livraria cultura kkk oh! é bom? eu só li os primeiro três?? mas só gostei do primeiro kkk

[@s.a.r.a5889]

@@dokjayoon eu estou indo pegar o 8° e o 9° hoje. Como eu gosto muito de livros de aventura então eu estou amando.

[@dokjayoon]

@@s.a.r.a5889 que legal!! a biblioteca é grande? e só pra saber, você tá lendo em inglês ou português?

[@s.a.r.a5889]

@@dokjayoon ela não é muito grande. Kjkk estou lendo em português. Estou estudando inglês, mas ainda sou uma iniciante:)

[@dokjayoon]

@@s.a.r.a5889 aahh tendi tendi :)

[@blabla1426]

$10 for 3 books!?! its like $20 per book in my country... where do you usually get your books (cheap)? online websites etc...

[@dokjayoon]

oh my gosh, I am SO SORRY!! I honestly did not realize I had said 10,000 (~10$) 😭😭 I was not able to do so, but I think my budget was around 20, if not 25,000 Won! again, so sorry omg I don't know how I didn't catch that?? also, unfortunately, the websites I order from don't ship internationally, only in Korea :( however, book depository is a good option for cheaper/ discounted book prices and they offer free shipping worldwide!

[@mortalgirl_]

$20 per book? The price is too high!! Like in my country paper backs are usually around 4-5 dollars tho hardcovers can be expensive

[@dokjayoon]

@@mortalgirl_ oh wow, paperbacks are cheap in your country!! they're around 10 dollars here?? if I'm converting somewhat accurately 😂 sometimes they can be less only the hardcover was around 20 dollars? everything else was below that, I'm pretty sure (it's been a while so I can't remember lol 😅) but true that, hardcovers can be pretty expensive

[@blabla1426]

@@mortalgirl_ woahhh where are you from? defo wld like to cop some books if I ever visit! heardcovers are like over $30 (SGD) in my country!

[@danielfromnigeria]

@@mortalgirl_ honestly here in canada its normal to see a single paperback book go up to $30. especially if its oop it can go up to $100 lmfao

[@jiminmotchi7457]

Can somebody tell me what are the names of the bookstores

[@dokjayoon]

It’s called Kyobo Bookstore, or 교보문고!

[@rach3254]

i think im a bit late but green bone saga is one of my absolutely favorite series of all time!! i hope you'll enjoy reading jade city

[@dokjayoon]

thank you!!

[@juliaal.4051]

Heyyy can i buy webtoon books in english language easy in korea?

[@dokjayoon]

unfortunately, I don't think so 😔 the only times I've seen physical webtoons in english were secondhand online at Aladin

[@moonkneeque]

@@dokjayoon do they have solo leveling in English?

[@dokjayoon]

@@moonkneeque last time I saw, I think they had secondhand vol 1 and 2! But they don’t sell them physically in stores I don’t think - it’d be easier to buy them online 😕 but if you order online, you can get the rest of the volumes in English!

[@na-yeon1938]

howd you ho yhrtr

Music is too distracting and loud dokja 😅😅😅😅
