Shopping
Across the street and around the corner is a three-story store aptly named Around the Corner, Its multi-designer displays only cover two floors, but the smaller selection gives customers room to consider the subtler hip-hop motifs and mixed prints that punctuate the street wear-filled racks. Remember, just because Hongdae is more casual and “free” than, say, Gangnam or Apgujeong, doesn’t mean fashion doesn’t matter. The vibe you can see from the stores and the people on the streets, is effortless with an edge of the true Hongdae touch. You can see more of that in the quintessential Hongdae institution Aland, and the up-and-coming company Understar.
