15 Best Things to Do in Myeongdong Street [명동길거리] Seoul, South Korea Travel Guide

[@MariesKawaiiWorld]

If you are traveling to Seoul, South Korea, most likely you will visit Myeongdong, the downtown area of Seoul. Here is your complete guide to Myeongdong shopping, eating, and all around fun. I include the myeongdong underground shopping center, an 8-story DAISO, street shopping, eating street food in Myeongdong, and other recommendations on where to eat and what to buy in Myeongdong. I hope you find this helpful if you are looking for places to visit in Seoul. Comment below and let me know what else you would like to see!

[@levielee9217]

Marie's Kawaii World can you be my tour guide when I visit?!? Please lol.

[@tesssanchez1388]

My husband and I just got back yesterday from Seoul and stayed at Myeongdong in Westin Josun hotel. What an awesome place and yes, I’ve seen most of your featured places to go. Daiso is overwhelmingly big! Lots of facial& skin care stores. Love the streetfood and cafes. Even the stores in the subways are fun, so many shops to go to. Namsan tower via cable car is such a nice place to see Seoul 360 degrees. We also took the DMZ tour, a must see and appreciate history.

[@susanjhin6485]

I grew up in Korea and this is one of the best videos on Myeongdong I've seen. Well done. You have a beautiful way of being sincere and frank. I encourage you to make more videos about Korean cuisine and street food.

[@MariesKawaiiWorld]

Thank you so much, Susan! I hope you enjoy your trip to Seoul. Maybe my video is a little outdated bc that 7-11 is no longer there. But for the most part it’s accurate :). Thanks for your kind words!

[@lynbabysusu]

Seriously praying hard that everything is fine soon, I MISS TRAVELLING SO MUCH!!!

[@MariesKawaiiWorld]

Aww me too!!

[@lynbabysusu]

Hope you guys are well!

[@kristinaskulic6210]

This is one of the best videos I’ve ever seen. I’m planning on going to Korea in december so this was really helpful. Your videos are always so amazing, thank you so much

[@MariesKawaiiWorld]

Thank you!! I’m so glad you found it helpful. Hope you have a wonderful trip to Korea! It’s so fun, you will love it.

[@MillennialTravelConfessions]

Not long till your trip now 😁

[@Mario-sy4nw]

consider other Asian countries like Thailand and Vietnam. the cost of airfare and hotels can be expensive and you want an authentic Asian experience.

[@redlady2581]

How about for skincare or cosmetics?

[@vampvivid]

Your daughter is so cute!!!!! It's so nice to see a video of talking about Myeongdong with their daughter. You're the first one so far. I have a daughter too and sometimes I get discouraged of traveling to korea with her at young age but seeing you with your daughter just gives me that confidence. Thank you for showing your daughter in the video!! :)

[@MariesKawaiiWorld]

Aww thank you so much!! I bring my kids with me everywhere. It can be tiring, but you can still do it 😀.

[@apchee4]

i just love the fact your girls are always in the videos too. As a mom this makes me happy :-)

[@MariesKawaiiWorld]

Thank you!!! They are with me so why not put them in the video ;)

[@dannim8141]

Your videos are life! I am in Seoul right now and my entire trip including to Busan later, is based on your videos especially this one. The rose icecream! Street fooooood! Thank you so much for your informative posts.

[@lukeskywalker777]

[@emsfallout466]

Omg, the spirited away sock! I loved the socks and the blind boxes that I saw. You should start seeing about making item filled boxes to sell!

[@MariesKawaiiWorld]

Lol! I do some patron boxes but it's hard for me to keep up with shipping everything :) That's a good idea though!

[@jubjubjubba]

This is the first time I have come across your channel and I just wanted to thank you for such an excellent overview of Myeongdong!! Going there in a few months and I find this so incredibly helpful. I love your inclusions of where to eat and rest (defs important during Summer) and find it reassuring that the walk to the base of Namsan isn't an eternity. Can't wait to watch your other videos.

[@MariesKawaiiWorld]

Thank you for your kind words!! I am glad that you found my video. A few things have changed since I made it - the 7-11 is no longer a claw machine arcade and there are basically different versions of Lala mart all over Myeongdong. But most of it is still valid. I hope you enjoy your trip!! :)

[@crystaltalksaboutthetruth3993]

I'm totally down for the street food video I love food n love seeing what I should look forward to when I start traveling again. I'm saving this video so when I get there I can watch it n remember what to do. It may take a year or two for me to travel there but I'm totally down especially for shopping n food.

[@MariesKawaiiWorld]

Awesome! You will love it. Seoul is such a fun place to visit. I will work on a street food video :)

[@crystaltalksaboutthetruth3993]

Marie's Kawaii World well hopefully when I get out there maybe we can meet up n u could help me as well n I don't have many subs on my channel cause I haven't had time to build my channel but u can do a video to help your channel.

Thanks! I will try :)

[@nobody8326]

Warning! 1:55 That roast lobster with cheese is small and cost 15,000 won, which is about $15. However, it is really good. I was planning to go to the 8th floor Daiso, which is across the street from exit 8 of Myeongdong Station. However, I was lazy and went to the other Daiso that is at the center of Myeongdong shopping area. Also, I recommend going to Happy Lemon in Myeongdong and trying out the Green Tea with Salted Cheese (or anything that has Salted Cheese). Furthermore, check out the Olive Young because it is one of the largest Olive Young out there. My favorite cosmetic shops are Innisfree, Etude House, Lalalove, Olive Young, The Face Shop and Tonymoly.

Loved this video! I always stock up on socks when we're in Korea. Would also love to see a street food video :) My favourite street food is actually Korean corn lol - very different from Australian corn! The texture is kinda like 떡? Kkkkk I'm not sure but it's really good!

[@MariesKawaiiWorld]

Lol!! Yes my daughter loves Korean corn. She always wants to get that when we see it on the street. It’s so chewy!! Korean socks are the best!

Thanks for the wonderful videos. I have watched a couple of your videos already and I found it all to be very informative as well as entertaining. This video about myeongdong is so far my favorite. One question though, where exactly is this 7 11 in myeongdong with VR and archery? I’ve seen you feature it already in two of your videos and it looks like it is a totally fun place to visit. Thanks again and more power on your vlogging.
