I don't go to either of those places...I go where the untapped females are, and where that is I won't say

Gangnam station, exits 6 and 7. Young professional crowd, lots of beautiful ladies, and some nice bars.

I mean western restaurants, shopping and good nightlife.


I'd also look at Apgujeong (Rodeo) which I'm anticipating Man on Street will hate as well probably due to failing hard with women there.

Apgu is only a few stations away from the bus terminal. Same with Gangnam, but you'll have to change trains once. A few stops away from Gangnam is COEX mall which has some pretty good shopping, if expensive.

No! Yeonshinnae sucks! Nothing to see or do here. Keep away!


Yesoninnae is nice to check out, and as TJ has indicated, free of white faces, but it's also full of punk high school kids.


I lived in Yeonshinnae a couple years ago and didn't like it - I felt it had an overabundance of a-holes. But then I moved to Gaebong (nice name) for a couple months.

Now I know - Yeonshinnae ain't so bad after all.

Yeah I wasn't a huge fan of just about anywhere in Eunpyeong gu actually, but Yeonsinnae seemed to be where all the jerkos hung out.

I take women there, but I wouldn't go near any single women there with their fake everything.

Ha ha. I'll second that. But it only works if you speak some Korean and are a decent looking guy yourself. Not sure where I stand here. But my Korean ability is a great opener with girls and they get impressed with my knowledge. Unfortunately, I still have to find English speaking girls.

Because the only reason to go out is to get "untapped" girls, amirite?

OP: Hongdae is fantastic. It doesn't have the sleezy feel of Itaewon and the girls, in my experience, are pretty reasonable and some speak excellent english. As far as I know, military is still banned from Hongdae after like 9pm or something. Many bars won't serve them. Maybe I'm biased, but I almost always have a good time in Hongdae. There's so many different scenes you can hit.

I like the characters you see around there. We're in downtown Seooul yet these places are full of old korean guys that seem like farmers from Jeolla.


I'm not sure whether it's still around but I remember going to this alleyway in Insadong where they served Mokoli in wash Basins. It was cheap had an awesome atmosphere. It looked like inside it was built during the Korean war. The floor was on a slant so when you walked around you felt like you were in a 1960's Batman program. The wall the covered in Newpapers and grafitti and old ads for 1970's Korean movies.
It was also notorious for having a grumpy ajumma at the front who would occaisionally not let foreigners in. But she would let you in if your were with a Korean.

The Key is to go where the University students go. Around the corner from Woodstocks in Shinshon there's a Bulldock restaurant that serves the spiciest barbequed chicken with ice cold beer in those old German
decarated steel mugs. There's always a massive line up to get in.
