Hi Fei Yun! I'm thinking the same thing, I want to go to Seoul this year too haha. From what I've read on the forums, it doesn't have to be Gangnam — Seoul's transportation is pretty good, so it's still easy to get there from other areas. Maybe we can find a more affordable area that's still close to the station? It's nice to meet other people who are also planning a beauty trip, hopefully we can get some good info from those who have been there!

I understand how you feel, Peiwen! My friend from Taiwan asked me the same question 😅 Qiangnan certainly seems convenient, but actually, it seems you can get there from other areas by taking the subway a few stops away. My friend stayed in a different area because of budget constraints, but I think you don't need to worry too much because Jiaotong is really convenient. I think you can choose based on your own budget and preferences, Peiwen!

Hi Fei Yun! When I went to Seoul last year, I stayed in an area a bit far from Gangnam and honestly, the transportation was still okay—the trains are really fast there, so no need to worry. But it's definitely more relaxing to be a bit closer because you can walk or take a cheap taxi, especially if you're tired after a treatment. Budget-wise, maybe try checking out the area around Jung-gu or other areas that are still accessible, because Gangnam is a bit pricey for accommodations. Hope your trip goes smoothly! 😊
