If you're currently in Korea and require assistance, we're here to help! You can schedule a face-to-face consultation with one of our staff members and receive the necessary support for your issue. We highly recommend discussing only one topic per session, as a single topic may require more information than anticipated.

If you're planning to visit Korea for work or education, or if you're already here and need help but can't meet in person, scheduling a video session might be the solution you need. We recommend choosing one topic per session if you want to discuss it in-depth, or multiple topics if you just need general information. Feel free to reach out to us if you have any questions or concerns.

We understand that some individuals may not feel comfortable with voice or video calls, so we provide a text session option for our consulting services. This option allows for greater freedom of expression and easier access to other devices based on your schedule. We recommend focusing on one to two topics to ensure adequate time for discussion.

How about stepping into a world of aromatic roots, dried herbs, and centuries-old wellness traditions at Yangnyeong Herbal Market in Seoul? Nestled in Dongdaemun-gu and easily accessible from Jegi-dong Station, this market is South Korea’s largest hub for traditional medicine, a place where you can find red ginseng, herbal tonics, and medicinal roots on the shelves. 1.       A GLIMPSE INTO HISTORY Credits: theseoulguide The Yangnyeong Herbal Market traces its heritage back to the site of Bojewon, a Joseon-era medical institution. Over time, starting from the 1960s, it developed into one of South Korea’s most popular herbal-medicine districts. Today, it is estimated that 70% of the country’s oriental medicine trade flows through here, partly because of the lower distribution costs and high volume. 2.       WHAT TO SHOP AND HUNT FOR Credits: theseoulguide As you are shopping at Yangnyeong Herbal Market, you’ll be surrounded by piles of various medicinal products from red ginseng and jujubes to milk vetch and angelica. Piles of medicinal herbs and roots such as red ginseng, dates, milk vetch, and more are displayed in clear sacks or wooden boxes. Many shops sell speciality tonics and processed herbal remedies crafted for health, wellness, and traditional treatments. Along the side alleys, you’ll find herbal tea stalls, wellness consultations, and even medicinal foot baths offered through the nearby K-Medi Centre. With more than 800 businesses dedicated to herbal medicine, the market is a fascinating blend of commerce and culture.   3.       WHAT ELSE TO EXPLORE Credits: theseoulguide Beyond its rows of herbal stalls and fragrant displays, Yangnyeong Herbal Market offers much more to explore! Just nearby, you can visit the Seoul K-Medi Centre, where visitors can learn about the history and science behind traditional Korean medicine (Hanbang) through interactive exhibits, hands-on programs, and even personalised wellness experiences. If you’re a foodie, the area around the market is filled with restaurants serving herbal soups and teas, often made with ingredients sold right at the stalls. You can also browse Hanok-style shops selling traditional crafts, natural skincare products, and herbal-infused cosmetics. For those interested in culture, the nearby Cheonggyecheon Stream offers a scenic stroll where you can relax and take in a quieter side of the city after the market visit.   4.       THE MARKET EXPERIENCE Credits: airial. travel The experience at Yangnyeong Herbal Market is part market-tour, part cultural immersion. Here you’ll see merchants discussing remedies, jars of dried bark and seed, and visitors sampling herbal tea in cafés. This is a side of Seoul you won’t find at typical tourist sites, so it’s really worth visiting! 5.       PRACTICAL INFORMATION   ·       ADDRESS: 10 Yangnyeongjungang-ro, Dongdaemun-gu, Seoul 02570 OPENING HOURS: The market is typically open from 9 AM to 6 PM, and it’s closed on Sundays, but keep in mind that hours may vary by store. ·       TRANSPORT: Take the underground train from Jegi-dong Station (Subway Line 1) and then take Exit 2, which is just a minute’s walk from the entrance gate. ·       BEST TIME TO VISIT: The best time to visit the Yangnyeong Herbal Market is in the morning, between 9 AM and noon. Weekdays tend to be less crowded than weekends, making it easier to browse and take photos. Avoid visiting too late in the afternoon, as many shops begin to close around 6 PM. ·       TIPS FOR FOREIGNERS: -        Bring cash, as many speciality shops may prefer it, and prices reflect wholesale-market benefits. -        Visit the museum and K-Medi Centre to deepen your understanding of Korean herbal medicine traditions. -        Ask permission before touching products, and customs for export may apply if you’re buying for travel. Yangnyeong Herbal Market is a deep dive into Korea’s rich tradition of herbal medicine, wellness culture, and trade legacy. With its fragrant lanes and historic roots, it stands as a unique destination for curious travellers who want to explore Seoul beyond the usual. Will you step through the herb-scented streets and discover what secrets lie in its countless jars?

BTS’ Jungkook Brings His Solo Exhibition “GOLDEN: The Moments” to India for the First Time Indian ARMYs, the wait is finally over, BTS’ golden maknae, Jungkook, is set to bring his acclaimed solo exhibition, “GOLDEN: The Moments,”  to India  for the very first time. The announcement follows HYBE’s official launch of its Indian operations, marking a major milestone for both the company and K-pop fans across the country. Earlier HYBE India debuted on social media with a warm “Namaste,” instantly catching fans’ attention. But excitement truly took off on November 4, when HYBE dropped a mysterious teaser featuring a golden microphone, a shimmering ticket, and a shadowed silhouette unmistakably resembling Jungkook. Within minutes, the teaser went viral as fans connected the clues to the global superstar. Tickets for the exhibition open on November 6 at 12 PM IST, exclusively on BookMyShow , and are expected to sell out quickly. The event will run from December 12, 2025, to January 11, 2026, at Mehboob Studios in Mumbai, offering Indian fans a rare chance to experience Jungkook’s artistry up close. Photo: Courtesy of Big Hit Music. A Celebration of Jungkook’s “Golden” Era First showcased in Seoul earlier this year, GOLDEN: The Moments  celebrates Jungkook’s creative journey and the massive success of his debut solo album, Golden , released in November 2023. The album features 11 English-language tracks, including global hits “Seven (ft. Latto),” “3D (ft. Jack Harlow),”  and “Standing Next to You.”  Each song reflects his versatility and international appeal, earning him accolades such as Artist of the Year  at the Circle Chart Music Awards . According to HYBE, the exhibition is designed as more than just a showcase, it’s an immersive multi-sensory experience that brings fans into Jungkook’s world. It highlights both his on-stage brilliance and behind-the-scenes dedication, capturing what HYBE calls “the glow behind the music.” Photo: courtesy of BookMyShow Live. Inside the Exhibition Divided into themed sections, the exhibition offers fans a captivating journey through Jungkook’s artistic evolution: The Record of Golden Moments:  A display of awards, plaques, and photographs celebrating Jungkook’s achievements and iconic performances, along with personal items like microphones and in-ear monitors. Photo Gallery:  Featuring the three versions of the Golden  album- Shine , Solid , and Substance , alongside remixes, visualizers, and exclusive behind-the-scenes imagery.

A New Chapter for HYBE in India The exhibition’s arrival coincides with HYBE’s expansion into the Indian market, signaling a deeper connection between K-pop and Indian audiences. “ India represents one of the most dynamic and fast-evolving music markets in the world, ” HYBE said in a statement. “ Following the establishment of HYBE India, our goal is to build meaningful cultural bridges, connecting our global artists with Indian fans, where the voices of India become global stories. ” BookMyShow Live, which is partnering with HYBE to bring the exhibition to life, shared similar excitement. Naman Pugalia , Chief Business Officer Live Events, said, “ Our partnership with HYBE marks an exciting new chapter in BookMyShow Live’s vision to bring transformative global experiences to India. ” A Golden Moment for Indian ARMYs For Indian BTS fans, this marks a long-awaited dream come true. While the group enjoys an enormous following in the country, large-scale BTS events have been rare. With HYBE’s official entry into India, “GOLDEN: The Moments”  may be the first of many K-pop experiences to come. Meanwhile, BTS as a group is gearing up for a highly anticipated comeback in March 2026 , when all seven members: RM, Jin, Suga, J-Hope, Jimin, V, and Jungkook reunite following their individual projects and military service. Until then, Indian ARMYs can immerse themselves in the world of Jungkook, his artistry, his journey, and his golden glow, right here in Mumbai.
