Shopping in Seoul, Korea: A Guide to Shopping in Dongdaemun Market | The Travel Breakdown

In my video below, I went shopping in the Express Bus Terminal and Dongaemun Market in the same day. Hence why they’re included in the same video. However, I wanted to make separate posts about them so I could focus on tips and information for each. This post is going to be about my experience while shopping in Dongdaemun Market while I was staying in Seoul, Korea!


Let’s get to the breakdown…

Dongdaemun Market

Description 

Dongdaemun Market is…not really a market in my opinion. Lol. When I think of markets, I think of fresh fruits, homemade goods and cute little boutique shops. Maybe I’m crazy.. which is a good possibility. Dongdaemun is where there are lots of department stores, shopping malls, and some outdoor booths and stalls. The shopping malls and department stores are MASSIVE and are sometimes 14 stores high! Or more! This is also where you can go night shopping because the stores tend to stay open really late! 

Directions

If you want to get there by subway, here’s the stations! I’d say this is the best way to get there…
 Seoul Subway Line 2 Dongdaemun Stadium Station, or Line 1 or 4 Dongdaemun Station
To go to Hello apM, which is where I went shopping in my video, here are the directions by subway!
Dongdaemun History & Culture Park Station (Seoul Subway Line 2, 4 & 5), Exit 14.
– 100 meters from Exit 4.
Shopping Tips
My mom haggling for my pink back pack! 😀 
  • This is another area where it’s best to shop with cash! In the big shopping malls (where there are vendors that own their own booths) you can usually haggle. However, if it’s already really cheap (say around 5,000-20,000 won) you’re less likely to be able to haggle. The vendors consider this cheap already and aren’t usually willing to budge.
  • Similar to shopping in the Express Bus Terminal, a lot of the vendors will have similar looking items, if not the same exact things. Shop around if you’re looking for a good deal! You’re likely to find a cheaper option 🙂 
  • There are a couple major shopping malls. This includes Doosan Tower, Migliore, Freya Town and Hello apM (which is the one I visited in the video!). In my opinion, once you’ve been in one of these and explored a little bit, you’ve seen it all. They’re all pretty similar inside and again, in my humble opinion, not worth spending the time to check out every single one! 
  • If crowds are a concern for you, these big shopping complexes are great because things are so spread out! You won’t feel too claustrophobic because, as you can see in my video, there’s a lot of area to walk around in! 
There are some of my tips for shopping in Dongdaemun Market! Let me know if you have any tips of your own.. always love to hear them 🙂 
xoxo, 
Morgan

Buddy is very clearly a giant breed dog and becaus Buddy is very clearly a giant breed dog and because of that, I want to start early in supporting his joints and mobility. I've started supplementing him with Synovi G4 and not only does Buddy love his daily chew, but it's also been so easy to introduce into his routine. It contains glucosamine, vitamin c, and a lot of other high quality ingredients that will continue to support his health and well-being! If you're curious about picking this up for your pup as well, it's available on Amazon and Chewy! #ad #spoiledbysynovi #amazonmusthaves
