I was wondering if there are any record collectors/enthusiasts on this board who could help direct me to the right spots.

I been working in a record shop in philadelphia for the past 6 years and am heading to suwon in june. Obviously I won't be able to bring my hi-fi or my collection with me. I listen to a pretty wide range of music, leaning always to the weirder, more outsider side of things. Any recommendations on record shops and places to find decent record players? Will I be able to pick up Samulim, Shin Jung Hyun and Pearl Sisters jams so cheap?

Help me out.

no. apparently the japanese and french came in some time ago and bought up a lot of the 60's and 70's korean rock stuff. i saw a shin jung hyun 3 lp set run for around 500,000 won (+/- $500).

Depends on your idea of "so cheap". I got the guy at Purple Record in Hongdae to help me search online for Shin Joong Hyun's Golden Grapes record. He found one for a measly W600,000. That's pretty cheap compared to the us$3,000 price tag quoted by Egon, record collector, DJ and general manager of Stones Throw records Confused

As for hi-fi and decent record players, check the I-Park Mall at Yongsan, 2nd or third floor I believe, in the section with all the musical instruments. Also, for really high end stuff, take a look at ET-Land near Yongsan, around the 2nd and 3rd floors in the middle or far end of the building. It's been a while since I've been, so I don't remember exactly.

There are also a number of second-hand record stores in the underground shopping arcade leading to the Shinsegae department store in Myeongdong.
