Try the one at Worldcup stadium, located in the stadium itself. Or for the nearest 24 hour store, maybe the one near Omokgyo Station.

Mullae station, maybe 4 stops from Hongik Station. You can enter the Homeplus directly from the basement level of the subway station. World Cup is maybe one stop less, but you have to transfer at Hapjeong.

For basic groceries, meats, veggies, etc. Grand Mart at Sinchon Station isn't too bad. Not a whole lot else though.

Grand Mart sucks nards. They have crap all for selection as well as what seems to be the mentally retarded population of Korea working as clerks/counter sales there.
Thanks for the heads up about Mullae. I've been to World Cup stadium several times but it's a pain to transfer to go two stops to Sinchon.

Yeah, when I lived in Hongdae I would stock up on fixings at Home Plus, but if I needed chicken breasts or lettuce, onions, peppers, etc. I would just shoot over to Grand Mart. There's really no comparison but for the bare essentials it works.

get on the 271 bus at Hongik and it'll take you right to the World Cup stadium. Buses rule in Seoul, the subway sucks

I believe the World Cup Stadium Homeplus is open 24 hours as well. It's the closest to Hongdae.


Are there any other 24 hour Homeplus stores in Seoul?

You prefer the subway during rush hour??!! At least you can sit on a bus for the agonising trip home
