| A few years ago I went on an unsuccessful movie/sports poster hunt around Seoul...so if anyone knows where they are I'd be obliged as well. Just what do Korean adolescents put on their bedroom walls??? Maybe I don't want to know... |

There's a good shop in Songtan out the front of the airbase if you're actually based outside Seoul.
I can give exact directions if you're interested. |

| It's funny how you can't buy certain things in this country. Posters is one of them. The best place to get movie posters is any movie theater. You can get free mini sized posters, but not the full-sized posters. It's bizarre. |

Bump.
I've been looking for posters in Seoul as well, and I can't seem to find any. None of the teachers or my other friends here seem to know where I should look either.
If I knew I couldn't get any here I probably would have brought some from home, but it didn't even cross my mind that I wouldn't be able to. Pretty strange really. |

shipping is only $7.99 with .99 per additional poster. Much better than the $29.00 http://www.barewalls.com/ charges. You might be able to find an even cheaper site. And with shopping online, I'm sure you can find exactly what you like, instead of the big Super Junior posters you're liable to come across here! |

| Kyobo books store... just as you come in from the subway (or at least that's where they were a few months back). |

One of my professors in uni made fun of college students, saying we buy posters instead of real art. One girl said, well some of us don't have the money to buy real art yet. But, as teachers in Korea, can't we afford real art now? Why mess around with posters???  |

| All the posters here on Dave's can be purchased for an average of 40,000-60,000 an hour. Please PM the individual poster(s) that you are interested in. |

Yes Princess, I like to buy originals for tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands of dollars. I have profesionals come in and hang them, and other professionals come in and light them. I make sure my maids dust them at least twice a day, and I have all my staff (cooks, butlers, gardener, driver) bow before <i>each</i> of them every day as they enter and leave my home. When I tire of one of my pieces, I take an exacto knife to it, glue it to some cork, and use it as a coaster for my martinis. When I leave Korea, I will have a special yacht built to ferry the remaining works home. |

i went there. There weren't any. I got a couple of those 8.5 X 11 sized posters from Lotte Cinema in Daejeon. You can get a free poster for buying a cd. But I couldn't find a single place that sold posters on their own |
