Exciting COEX!

 Hello Friends! 👋

Today, I wand to introduce the famous spot in Seoul. You might be already know.

 This picture is taken in-front of COEX. The sculpture is motivated from GANGNAM style by PSY. 

  If you come to Seoul, COEX is one of those places you’ll end up visiting at least once. It’s a massive shopping mall combined with a convention center right in the heart of Gangnam, so you can spend the whole day indoors without worrying about the weather—rain or blazing summer heat.

 First stop: Starfield Library. Those crazy-tall bookshelves with the warm lights? Total vibe. It’s super photogenic, and there are tons of cafés around, so you can grab a coffee and just wander or chill for a bit.

 Food is easy here. Korean, Japanese, Thai, dessert—you name it. Lunchtime gets packed with office folks, so popular places might have a line. If that happens, check the underground food court or head toward the Parnas/InterContinental side—way more options. Shopping’s fun too: fashion, lifestyle brands, multi-label stores—good spot to pick up souvenirs as like below.

A few tips: weekend afternoons are packed—start in the morning or come on a weekday evening if you can. Use Samsung Station or Bongeunsa Station depending on what’s convenient. On rainy days, you can enjoy everything with indoor routes. Starfield Library sometimes has areas closed for events, so come early if you want photos.

In one line: COEX is Gangnam’s all-in-one playground where you can relax, eat, explore, and shop in a single day. If you have time, try this neat loop: Starfield Library → Aquarium → check an exhibition → stroll Bongeunsa Temple. 😍
