I live near Yangjae Station in the Seocho/Gangnam area. I really need to get my pants hemmed but I haven't seen anywhere to go and get this done. The only place I can think of are those guys in Itaewon offering to make suits and that's really too far.

Almost any "Sae-Tak" place will do it for you. "Sae-tak" is basically a dry cleaning/clothes repair shop, easily identified by the vast amounts of clothes hanging up inside. Walk around your neighborhood. I guarantee there will be one within 2 blocks of your house.

Any cleaner will definitely do it for you...make sure to ask up front what the cost is though before you agree. It shouldn't be more than 3,000-4,000 won, but they generally charge a bit more for jeans.

It's 2000 for the service out here in Lake Wobegon, but I take the soap crayon and mark the hem myself.

i would also reccomend marking the hem yourself. The dry cleaners do tailoring, but sometimes their measurements are a little... off. They do generally good work if you just mark the hem for them.
