Where can I find violin strings?

I live in Yongin with easy access to areas in Seoul and Bundang but I'm unsure of where to go.

Thanks!!!

Nakwon Sangga will have them.

as the above...Nagwon arcade by Insadong/Jongro 3- ga subway station being the closest (though you could walk from Anguk too). Next to the guitar section.

There should be plenty of music stores closer. I live around Suwon and there are plenty of music stores around. Nagwon is a good place to go first. But I'd still seek out music stores closer that sell quality stuff. This might take more time. The first music store in my area only sold cheap rosin. I had to check out another place, some time later, that sold the good stuff. Just sayin, you should always look for closer music stores in case a string breaks or bridge even.

My local Homeplus has a small music section will violins and guitars. I think it's just a matter of looking around your area.

or you could always order it online.... I'm sure Gmarket has them - they gots everything

Lotte Mart carries them in their small music area, if you're looking for the basic steel strings. Any high quality/cat gut, you've got to go to nakwon.
