My Korea: Wonder Place

Words and photos by Hyemin Lee

I always go to Wonder Place with my friends or boyfriend whenever I go shopping in Chungjang-dong. The store is three stories tall. There are vintage styles and unique men’s clothing in the basement, basic men’s clothing on the first floor, and women’s styles on the second floor. Wonder Place features a modern interior design and also unusual and fun furniture throughout the store.

My favorite thing about the store is the music. As soon as I open the main door, I hear loud music with an exciting beat that makes my heart race. Electronic music is the most popular kind.

When you enter, you can see employees everywhere. They reply kindly and are not a burden to customers, which is different from other stores. The style and appearance of the staff that work there is also top notch.

People go there regardless of sex or age because there are a variety of styles and lots of unique products displayed such as bags, accessories, and eye catching shoes.

Wonder Place is not expensive considering the luxurious atmosphere of the store. When compared to other stores, Wonder Place has similar prices.

I recommend that you shop there rather than other clothing shops because you can buy the most unique items at good prices. In particular, you can buy jeans there that make your legs look a little more beautiful. Even though they are more expensive than other shops at around 5,000 to 20,000 won more, it is worth it.

Wonder Place is located in Geumnamno 4-ga on Chungjang Street 50 meters from Zara in a large brown building. If you know the building, you can easily find it!

If you want something unique or truly fashionable vintage looks, men and women of all ages can change their style for the better at Wonder Place.
