This is Ikea's website.

This is their location. (It's near Costco and Gwangmyeon station.)

If you can figure out how to use their street view, you'll get an idea of the area. (But, the Ikea building isn't up yet.)

Furniture, schmurniture....Will they have free onions, ketchup and mustard in the cafeteria section? Or something else? That's all I care about!

IKEA Korea is getting hit this week in the Korean media for identifying the East Sea as the Sea of Japan in a map used in their Korail ads.

Let's see if it blows over.

Correction. They called TheSeaof Japan by its correct name and did not know that Korea holds old grudges so badly. Since they want to do business here, they should have misidentified that sea.

They are also getting bad reviews for having prices that are 2x or 3x higher than they're other IKEA stores worldwide.
