Nandaemun and Myeong-dong are right next to each other. Insa-dong and Yongsan are a 15-20 minute cab ride away from those locations as well. Then there is the COEX and Apgujeong.

What is it that you are shopping for?

If you want high fashion brands, Sinsa, Cheongdam, and Apgujeong.

For the normal stuff, Myeongdong.

Dongdaemun if you want cheap stuff.

Express bus terminal for cheap. Also Dongdaemun.

Myeongdong for name brand/ western clothes

COEX is useless, Myeongdong has all of the stores of COEX plus H&M and Forever 21. Plus you can see the hordes of fashionably dressed Japanese tourists.

myeongdong and coex for me. Dongdaemun has a lot of the wackier styles, definitely more catered to koreans. the various malls aren't that cheap, you have to bargain and there are 삐끼's, or touts, mainly 20-30 something males who bother you and joke around with you, trying to get you to buy their stuff.
