| Is the one in Seoul open yet? When I was there last (a couple months ago) they were re-modeling I believe, and Kyobo kind of operated in the Subway. I'd love to go and poke around there and YP--time for new time-passers! |

| I was there a few weeks ago and they told me it would open back up on August 27th. So, it should be open now, but I haven't tried it yet. |

| Yep, definitely open and it looks impressive from the pictures I have seen. |

| Yes, it's open again. I've been twice since it reopened last Friday. It's worth a visit. It's certainly better than it was before it closed. Naturally, it was rammed to the rafters both times. |

If you don't mind, better how? Just curious. |

| Is this the store in Gwanghwamun? If so, I'm excited to go see what they've done to the place. |

| It's better... but not amazing. Still a book store in a basement. |

| I have to agree with the Captain. I was disappointed when I first went in early on the Monday after they opened it up. Looked around, and shrugged my shoulders on what the big deal was about. I was thinking "Kyobo, the flagship store, this ought to be something special" and it wasn't. Oh, well.... |

| Went yesterday, and to be honest, other than the layout change, I couldn't tell much was done. Oh well |

A much larger selection of English books (or so it seemed to me). They also have a much better selection of language learning books for languages other than English or Korean. |
