I'm sad there is not a "let me never that for you" website.

Really? You can't just use naver? Can't find www.emart.com and look on the front page at the "Find a Store" section?

Lazy bum.

Now, with that said, I'm not going to leave you hanging - Cheongyecheon Emart. Line 1/Line 6, Dongmyo Ap. It's one big block to the south east. It's due south of Sinseoldong Station, line 1 - 1 stop east of Dongmyo.

You can also head west on Line 6 to Gongdeok. Emart is just to the east of gongdeok station, south side of the road. 3/4 of the distance from Hyochang Park, 1/4 of the distance from Gongdeok.

What electrical stuff are you looking for? Might be better off going to the shops along Cheongyecheon - Euljiro/Jongno streets.

agreed i just looked at www.emart.com and literally find a store is the first thing I saw on the front page...ㅋㅋ do you need A/S for something or just to buy as some stores dont have any A/S ad will tell you to go to certain stores - also in korea if it is Samsung or LG - you may need to go to that manufacturer's AS centre...retailers dont often take a lot of responsibility here and on checking the consumer laws are v different to what im used to in the UK where I will not stand for stores telling me to contact the manufacturer - its their problem there, but here often no!

There's a new Emart at Gondeok station on the side of the road going towards Itaewon. I went there and loved it. Easy parking, good selection of foreign stuff, general sense of cleanliness.
