I visited Seoul, South Korea, for a few days of my honeymoon, focusing on the streetwear and sneaker scene. I explored various areas like Insadong, Hongdae, Seongsu, and Gangnam, checking out numerous stores including New Balance, Adidas, Anderson Bell, Gentle Monster, Works Out, Kith, and Supreme. I found Korean brands offered unique in-store experiences and that sneaker prices were significantly cheaper than in Europe, especially with tax refunds. I also enjoyed the food and cafe culture. — 서울 · 인사동
