I live right in Daechi and have been here for 3 months...however, I have not yet been out in Kangnam to party. Getting SO sick of Itaewon and Hongdik university...Apgujeong, been there...a bit pricey...I need to meet beautiful women that speak good english but haven't been "on the circuit" if you know what I mean. What's a good club in Kangnam?...and do the girls speak much English? I've been to "very foreign" places and I sit there and either talk to a girl with a 50 word vocabulary or just sit with a bunch of guys which I can do on a Wednesday. Is it worth the hunt?

Hooker Hill got a little boring for you, eh?

Ha, aha, haa!!

Bro, go to the 7-11 or the grocery store. Lots of girls who aren't "On the Circuit" to be met in Korea.

Starbucks is full of nice Korean women. In fact, I can't believe how many of the customers are actually women at Starbucks - 90%?

Interesting, though, I know what you mean.

Good luck

no, not really.

kangnam is a different animal, and if you didn't really like hong dae, not sure there is something worth doing in Kangnam

but thats just me. i kind of tie apgujung and kangnam together in their characteristics

Most if not all the clubs in Gangnam are "booking clubs" (Juliana, Volta etc) which aren't really worth frequenting as you're not too likely to have any success.
It's an area that's good for a quiet (or rather, sedate) night out in comparison to what you'll be accustomed to in Itaewon or Hongdae.
I like Gangnam, it's quiet and reasonably refined... and there are some really nice places there. Whether you'll do well with any English-speaking locals, who knows...

You could go to 4X, that's kind of a pick-up joint....

English ability will be a wild card anywhere.

Sorry I was kind of a geezer even when I was living in Kangnam and that was ten years ago. But by god I found out how to meet beatuiful women there: push a baby stroller past the New York Bakery (is it still there?). The young ladies, fashion monsters all of them, would descend from the bakery steps in veritable hordes and ooh and ahh over my daughter, who was and is still a lovely child..."Is her mother Korean?" they would ask, followed frequently by "Ommo, I want an American baby too!!" And this punctuated by a petulant hammering at my shoulder...something I've always found endearing.

I never tried to find out if this plea for racially-mixed progeny was in earnest...one frequently screaming kid and a wife 8 1/2 months pregnant (and my life and career in the clutches of a mean little hagwon scrump) was more than enough entertainment at the time.

And in the evenings these girls would all be sagging down the streets, puking out noodles on the sidewalk, and being trundled quickly off (nearly unconcious) into gleaming Korandos and black Grandeurs by well-dressed guys who had a definite air of being up to no good, in a sort of an axe-murderer kind of way. Like everything else I'm sure it's different now in one way or another, but I found the area and evening "scene" at that time to be utterly depressing.

My apologies for not offering any current or helpful information...just had to share.
