Shopping in Korea is more than just a transaction. It is an opportunity to experience the vibrant Korean culture and interact with locals.

They are bustling with energy and are a great place to immerse yourself in the local culture.

One interesting fact about shopping in Korea is the popularity of street food at markets. It is common to find food stalls selling delicious Korean snacks and dishes.
