For those who have lived in north america recently you'll know these little wonders. They're basically a small pen like item which has some detergent and probably other chemicals in it. Get a spot on your clothes? press down rub for a minute, and let it dry for just a few and the spot is gone.

Anyone seen them around Seoul at all?

Excellent. Anyone seen them outside costco? don't suppose you could take a photo of the package could you? I got a korean friend who goes to costco, maybe I could show that to them and ask them to grab some for me

okay just wanted to make sure there wasn't any kind of funky unusual packaging I guess.

they have these in dongdaemun market in the basement of the Doota department store. i think they are pretty expensive, about 5,00 won each, but they are available. Also check the "Red Door" in Itaewon, and the American market in Namdaemun.

I've seen them around. I believe there is at least one Korean brand, too.... although I can't say how well it works.

They work soooo well. I saw a pack at the Costco close to Gangnam (or is it Sadang...) in Seoul.
