If you’re planning a trip to South Korea and wondering where to shop for the best souvenirs and K-beauty products, you might skip Myeongdong and head to Sinsang-dong , Seoul 's latest hub for beauty shopping. This exclusive area is taking over as the new "cosmetic paradise" for foreign shoppers, offering prices much lower than in other popular shopping districts. Unlike traditional shopping hubs like Myeongdong, Sinsang-dong caters specifically to international tourists. The stores here are known to restrict entry to Korean shoppers, making it an exclusive destination for foreigners. Many products are available at a 30-50% discount, which is a dream come true for K-beauty lovers! Key Shopping Spots in Sinsang-dong One of the most recommended stores is The Mask Shop , a family-run business operated by Japanese owners. This shop offers deep discounts on skincare and cosmetics, but there are a few things to keep in mind before visiting: The store is located near Sindang Station  (Line 2 or Line 6). It's a short walk from Exit 1 . Only cash  is accepted here, so bring enough Korean won  or Japanese yen . The staff primarily speaks Japanese , which could be challenging, but you can manage with a translation app. Perhaps the most unusual aspect of The Mask Shop is that it does not allow Korean locals inside! This creates an exclusive shopping environment for foreigners, making it a unique experience. Address: 251-55 Sindang-dong, Seoul 04569 Price Comparisons and Discounts It’s hard to miss the price differences between Sinsang-dong and popular cosmetic stores like Olive Young . Many viral products that dominate K-beauty trends are sold here at significant discounts. For example, Birch Juice Moisturizing Sunscreen , a viral product both locally and internationally, is sold at a fraction of its regular price, making it a hot buy for tourists. Cult-favorite brands like Laneige, Banila Co, Mediheal, Innisfree, and CLIO  are also offered at unbeatable prices. These kinds of deals make Sinsang-dong the cosmetic paradise  of Seoul, perfect for beauty enthusiasts who are looking for great products at even better prices. Though Dongdaemun  is traditionally known for wholesale shopping, it has also become a beauty destination where you can buy cosmetics, women’s clothing, toys, sports essentials, and even local snacks at discounted rates. Many Chinese and Japanese businesspeople visit these markets to buy in bulk, and you'll find plenty of money exchange centers and export offices here! Whether you’re on the hunt for viral K-beauty products or looking for the perfect souvenir, Sinsang-dong is a must-visit on your next trip to Seoul. The area offers unbeatable prices and exclusive shopping for foreigners, making it a true paradise for beauty lovers!

The East-meets-West R&B duet delivers an intimate, yet interstellar sound! We dissect the reason why Jisoo's new single featuring Zayn Malik, "Eyes Closed", broke the internet! Image: BLAKCPINKS Jisoo & British artist Zayn Malik - Photo: Warner Records Korea and the UK have some amazing artists, and there is nothing more special than when two of the industry powerhouses decide to collaborate. Coming from the UK, the interest in K-pop has grown significantly over the years, and being a BLACKPINK fan myself, as well as a One Direction fan back in the day, I was surprised to hear that Jisoo and Zayn Malik decided to team up on this single. The single has quickly gained fan support since its release, though some music industry experts are calling out the heavy use of vocal filters, which sound too generic. That said, the song and music video do have some stunning visuals, and it's easy to listen to, which makes it a major K-pop hit in the industry. Concept Breakdown "Eyes Closed" decides to ignore the past heartbreaks and focus on finding a new relationship with the hope of "blind faith", which is a common theme within Gen-Z , making it relatable to many fans. Throughout the track, there are strong R&B-inspired lines and concepts that the Dojeon team believes work really well, and they are easy to sing along to. "The past can't hurt us if we don't look,"   which suggests committing to the present moment without any hesitation. The black ambience throughout the music video helps to focus on the future, with the strong influence of futuristic spaceships and pods. It may also resonate with the emotional distance, which some of us put ourselves in at some point in our lives. This music video is truly an emotional rollercoaster and shows the strong connection between Eastern and Western music. The Dojeon team would love to hear your thoughts on this new collab in the comments below! #EyesClosed #JisooXZayn #JISOO #ZaynMalik #EyesClosedMV #PopCrossover
