Why people love Hongdae

The Korail Pass is very convenient and worthy of its price! Definitely a must-buy when you plan to go to Busan or other areas outside Seoul. We used it to go to Busan and then Pohang. You can reserved seats already ahead via their website or just go to the ktx stations ticketing office and they can reserve them for you. There were instances when we arrived way early than the train schedule we booked and we just asked for assistance at the ticketing booth if they can reschedule to earlier ones available and they did! We're grateful because we were able to save so much time! Just show them the tickets and korail pass voucher then they will check and explain to you the available schedules you can choose.

Olive Young's products can be purchased at lower prices. It's quite cost-effective. The store clerk may be a little confused when using it, but there's no problem in using it.

The performance was superb, from stage design, costumes to lighting and props… The venue was a small one, the team was a small team but because of this, it gave a “secret party” vibe and the ambiance was very good. I watched the same performance in an other country with a much larger venue, it didn’t give off the same vibe as in Korea. Just enjoy the little “cabaret show” and make your trip memorable.

My mom had so much fun. Amy is very approachable and kind, and made us very comfortable. the make up artist was so good and made sure to give samples for touch up and make up removal. The photographer was also excellent is making her feel at home and relaxed + he had A+ coaching in poses. If you want a photoshoot experience in Korea, this is definitely a good package and company.

The bus location from Hongdae is very convenient. You can get off at Myeongdong on the way back and take a stroll along the way. Remember to prepare food before entering the island. There are many people on the island and you will have to wait. You can take good photos in a one-day trip!
