Here you go.

Sorry the photo is crappy, but this is what you get with a Samsuck Galaxy S1 with one hand while trying to hide what you're doing:

Basically, they have small tubes of it for 5,000 won. This is at the International food store (I think that's the name) in the old "Fish Alley." Fish Alley is the same street as hooker hill, only the bottom part of it closer to Geckos.

By the way, CloseUp can be found in many Korean stores these days. It is cheap and good. Anyone who buys CloseUp from this store is either a total newbee or a sucker.

For that particular store, find Taco bell, which is just South of Itaewon station. Keep heading away south from Taco bell a dozen steps, past the Family Mart, and take the first alley on the left. Head up that alley (you'll pass Sultan K-bab as you turn the corner) about 50m and it's on your right just after an Iranian restaurant and a tiny hooker bar called Pretty Ketty (which, incidentaly, houses a prostitute that groped my female co-workers boobs my first night in Itaewon in Manhattan restaurant 10 years ago).

I also found that at least one of the other larger International/Foreign food stores has Colgate, too. They have bigger tubes of Colgate Herbal (my personal favorite) although I wouldn't pay extra for it over Korean toothpaste.

I think you can find it at any of these places. For those two larger international food stores, just leave Itaewon exit 3, walk past Starbucks (50m or so) and take a right at the first street. Walk up that hill about 70 more meters for these stores.
