Olive Young Myeongdong Town

This is one of the many Olive Young branches in Myeongdong, and it stands out as a must-visit destination for beauty enthusiasts. Spanning two floors, this store offers an impressive selection of cosmetics, skincare, and health products, with countless options to explore. You’ll find a wide variety of Korean beauty brands, from popular names to niche ones, making it a treasure trove for tourists and locals alike. As one of the busiest Olive Young locations, the store is almost always packed with shoppers, especially tourists stocking up on Korean beauty essentials. Despite the crowds, the shopping experience is well-organized, and the payment process is surprisingly efficient. Although the queues at checkout may look long, the store has numerous payment counters on both the first and second floors, ensuring that the lines move quickly. One unique perk of shopping here is the free gift you can claim if you sign up for an Olive Young account online. After registering, you can use a vending machine inside the store to collect your freebie—a fun and rewarding experience that adds to the overall visit.

I'm giving a review based on my experience as a husband that accompanies my wife on her love, shopping for personal care products. 1. This place has super strong FREE wifi! 2. They have seats! In Japan has no seats anywhere. Sitting for an hour isn't so bad. 3. They have a food and beverage section 👍 4. Location is convenient and easy to get to. Lots of restaurants nearby. 5. Wife is happy with her experience and purchases. Most important!

Super crowded but its so fun for a shopping!! Many cosmetic brands here for massive selection. Price is similar to the free-duty-shops. I took lipstick, lips palm and spray serum. My friends took double of mine and a local perfum and masks. Worth shopping here ;)

Olive Young is a fantastic one-stop shop for cosmetics, skincare, shampoo, and more! The customer service is excellent, and one of the best perks is their on-the-spot tax refund. Just make sure to bring a physical copy of your passport to claim it. Highly recommend visiting!

Staff is like 1000 employees but they are just ignoring you and feel no welcome at all. Even when we ask the product mostly they just pointing and not even say anything. They are also ignoring you mostly. If you feel tired why you work? They def need more training how to handle customer well

I think one of the biggest olive young but also with the highest traffic. It is recommend when you already know what you want because it is impossible to get a worker for questions here. On the second floor you can get tax free service and new membership gift bag as well. Still worth to visit if you are around!

I understand this is the most popular store in Myeongdong, but popularity comes with a downside. I found it to be extremely crowded, with little space to comfortably test the products. Personally, I’d prefer visiting one of the smaller Olive Young stores nearby where it’s much quieter and less hectic. That said, I have to give credit to the staff – everyone I approached for assistance was helpful and friendly, which made the experience a bit better. If you don’t mind the crowds, this location has a wide selection, but if you’re looking for a more relaxed shopping experience, I’d suggest checking out one of the less busy stores nearby.

I'm just shocked. I made a purchase for 200,000 won, as a gift they gave me a box that was supposed to contain cream, but there were napkins. Ok. But the masks that I bought, on which it is written that the set includes an ampoule for using the masks. And this ampoule is not in the box.
