Don't know about Seoul but here in Daegu any LARGE stationery store (lots of greeting cards, office supplies, art & craft supplies, etc.) usually stock clothing dye. Look in the arts & crafts supplies section.

Haven't tried it here yet, if you do find some and dye some clothes let us know how it turns out.

I've seen quite a variety in the stationary/craft section of Kyobo bookstore. Go to the foreign book section , but instead of going in, turn left, keep going left around the corner and continue down the aisle until you start to see housewares and stationary on the right. (across from the music section)
The dyes and other crafty stuff are located in the shelves behind the cashier desk in that section. Hope this helps.

Exactly what everyone else said. But the instructions, obviously, are in korean. so go the the home page - i would use dylon dyes - and print out their instructions. what are you dyeing? natural fibres take much more than synthetics.

The Express Bus Terminal. Underneath, within sight of the mogyauk/sauna with its twirling barber pole sign, is a large stationery store. I hate knowing everything; it's a burden! Laughing

Sorry buddy - but that won't work. The dye won't take very well, and you can't really dye over things like that. i.e, if you get a bleach mark on some pants, you can't dye them teh same colour again, and cover the bleach mark up. maybe colouring it in with a black permanant marker???

You may want to try one of the Dylon Dye Pens. But finding a color that will match could be difficult.

The pens should be available at any large Stationary store like Work and Hobby (Kyobo) or S Dot.

Dye pens sound awesome. so they are actually dye pens, and not fabric markers?

and it's great you got the white out of your top.
