I bought some face masks locally to use during my trip to Korea! There are so many types of masks, as expected... Since everything was in Korean, I couldn't read them and had to ask my friend for help while shopping... I can't speak English either, so I was scared to go to the checkout alone🤣

Staff speak English, Chinese, and Japanese. Immediate tax refund on the spot—just present your passport at checkout

It's not a very large store with a huge selection. Since it was my first day in Korea, I just bought what I needed for that night. They even gave me two toner pads as a free gift.

I stumbled into this GS25 after walking around Hongdae late at night. Since it's inside the station, it wasn't as crowded as the street-level stores. I bought some hot oden and soda for 1,100 won. The hot food section has a great variety; the fish cakes and steamed buns were piping hot and instantly chased away the night chill. The store is well-equipped with self-service kiosks for topping up and payments, and the staff were quiet and unobtrusive. The lighting is soft and the place is clean, making it a very comfortable spot for a quick rest. If you're out late and want a warm, simple meal, this convenience store is great.
