Anything I need to know or things I should check out? I'm heading there this sunday.

If you've never been/live outside Seoul then make the most of your day.

Start off in the street market and spend some time there. Move north of Anguk station and then check out the Bukchon village. After that, make your way to Samcheong-dong. Finally, check out one of the palaces if you have any interest in that sort of thing.

Spend some time people-watching from the quiet tea shops on the second floor of the main drag.

are the riots over ?
street vendors and police have been fighting there for months now.
you will see VERY few street vendors there now..

Start at Jonggak exit 3, then walk straight until the big intersection- should take you about 7-10 min depending on the crowds.

Then make a left, you will see an enormous grey building with sings on it. Keep walking toward the left side and that is Insadong. Walk as slowly or quickly as you like, but when you reach the end you could turn around and go back, or cross the street again and follow the crowd to Samcheongdong (as the above poster mentioned). Its a cool place for ladies, lots of small shops, good for pictures- good landscapes and good food

Have a nice day

Insadong is more for looking than actually buying. Some of the shops and restaurants are very expensive. They are the very definition of the phrase "tourist trap." You can find better things for lower prices in other parts of Seoul.
