I'm planning a beauty trip to Seoul 🇰🇷 I have a question about recommended areas and hotels.

Hello everyone, I'm Emi! I'm planning a beauty trip to Seoul this fall and I'm posting to get your advice 😊

I'm particularly interested in the Gangnam and Apgujeong areas. I have the impression that many cosmetic clinics are concentrated there, but what's the reality like? I've heard a few foreign friends have visited, and I'm wondering if the area is enjoyable as a tourist spot too. Or would other areas be easier to stay in...?

Also, for those who have traveled to Seoul for beauty treatments, where did you choose to stay? Is it better to be close to the clinic district, or would it be more fun to stay near tourist spots like Myeongdong or Itaewon for evenings out? This will be my first solo trip, so I'm hoping for an area where I can explore and grab meals between treatments.

If anyone has had a similar experience, please share your insights!
