I embarked on my first solo trip to Korea for 4 days in early summer, visiting Seoul in June 2026. I stayed at Hotel Migliore Dongdaemun, which offered a great view of DDP and friendly staff. I enjoyed delicious jjukkumi at Jangjang Jjukkumi, found cute items at ALAND and COSYMOSY, and savored unique coffee at unpage. I also explored shops like Lowclassic and OLIVE BETTER, and indulged in a wonderful morning plate at toasted.club. My trip was filled with delightful food, charming cafes, and successful shopping, making me want to do another solo trip. — Seoul · Anguk

압구정 상회Apgujeong Sanghoe

Upon arriving at Apgujeong Sanghoe, I ordered sesame makguksu via a touch panel, and the freshly squeezed sesame oil's savory flavor combined with the chewy noodles was perfect for the hot summer.
