The performance started at about five o'clock. The atmosphere was very good and the actors also interacted with each other, which was good.

Good value and there were a lot of choices for the hanboks. The location is near to GyeongBokGung so we don’t have to walk far. They provided petticoats to keep you warm and the hairstylist was really good

Every time I come to Seoul, I come to see the Macho Man Show. The whole atmosphere is created very well. The venue is at Euljiro 3-ga Station of Subway Line 2. It is very convenient to arrange in your itinerary. Highly recommended.

Very easy to redeem. You can do your shopping first and calculate how many vouchers you need as the vouchers can be combined and the exchange rate is quite good. Do take note of the tax refund as the amount after discount can be less than the voucher value.

My brother and I got a small facial package and we both enjoyed it thoroughly. As part of the treatment, we did a collagen mask and we came out of it shiny and hydrated. The workers and whole experience was pleasant and right after we finished we wanted to go back.
