About this place

Gangnam sits south of the Han River as Seoul's most upmarket district, brought to international prominence by PSY's 2012 hit single. Broad, tree-lined avenues lead past luxury boutiques, high-end restaurants and flagship stores of major fashion brands. The neighbourhood pulses with K-pop culture—you'll find stylish cafés, trendy beauty clinics and entertainment venues catering to younger crowds. It's where Seoul's affluent residents shop and socialise, though expect premium prices. The main thoroughfare, Gangnam-daero, runs east-west through the heart of the area, with Gangnam Station serving as a convenient entry point.
