Are you looking for K-pop photocards, Sanrio items, or things from webnovels and webtoons? I think Hongdae is the best place to find them. Hongdae is famous for being a street full of art and culture, and you can see cool graffiti in some areas.Many students like to go there. It's also near Hongik University, the best art school in the country.

I don’t have just one shop to recommend in Hongdae. It’s better to walk around and look at the shops. You can also visit malls to find bigger stores like Animate. In the afternoon, some food vendors start selling food. The food here is cheaper than in Myeongdong.
