Where can one get a ton of Swiss and/or belgian chocolates for sure every time?

I'm looking at stocking up A LOT for Halloween and Christmas parties and gifts.

I have found several hit-and-miss places, and without much selection.

Is there a treasure-trove oasis of imported Swiss and Belgian chocolates? I don't care what city or town in Korea. (I travel around anyways on weekends.)

Specific directions or details of location or phone number would be awesome. Very Happy

Right next to the Clearasil dispenser.

HomePlus in Gwangju (Jeollanam-do) has Toblerone bars, which are the same price or cheaper than the Korean Ghana stuff - don't understand that at all, but I'm not complaining. Also there are some other kind of Guylian (?) shell things, but I haven't looked too closely at other stuff. Has other assorted chocolatey things but not sure if Belgian or Swiss, sorry.

To get to HomePlus = Bus No 311 from the bus terminal which is next to Shinsegae Dept. store.

Will you give kids expensive imported chocolate?

There's a place in the underground plaza at Sinchon Hyundai Dept. Store that has Australia/NZ Cadbury. Not European, of course, but very tasty.

A lot of the grocery sections of department stores carry those hazelnut shell chocolates (can't remember the name, but I think they're Belgian).
