hi this might sound random as my first thread but, are there any record stores that buy/trade used vinyls in seoul? i'm mainly into instrumental and electronica music so at least a classical music section would be must, although i doubt i'll find a place that carries braindance music... one should be so lucky. thanks, and well met Smile

Namdaemun has an LP store with a large selection in the underground shopping mall.

I'm sure there is a store in hongdae that has what you want.

firstly, what the hell is braindance music lol. I must be getting old



secondly, check out the Yongsan Ipark mall. I think it may be the 3rd and 4th floor that have some vinyl in a few shops. A massive selection from classical to 90s french house.

Good luck. PM me if you want anything specific

MyeongDong has an underground shopping center. There are 3-4 really good stores selling nothing but vinyl records.

hey thx guys. that certainly sets me off for a busy day of shopping. braindance is idm(intelligence dance music)- glitch, drum and bass ect. that doesn't fit under techno and are usually more complex sounding, and much rarer to find at record shops. Smile

The Myeongdong and Namdaemun record stores referenced, are they not actually the same place?


There's also some used vinyl shops in the fleamarket near Sindang station.
Quite pricey, but there's a fair amount of rarities there.

Depends on what you're looking for....


Rare Korean issued lps and rare Korean rock lps? 100,000 + won - it's expensive and it's a seller's market.

New US/Int'l lps? 25,000-30,000 won

You can buy cheap used US vinyl and Korean issued US band vinyl
for less than 10,000, but there's lots of crap to wade through.
