AK PLAZA Hongdae brings together anime, music merchandise, clothing and creative goods for relaxed indoor browsing. Each floor has its own theme, making it a useful shopping stop and a place to take a break on rainy, snowy or hot days in Hongdae.
Ms Karyl's firsthand tips
This feels more like an indoor hub for younger shoppers' interests than a traditional department store. Anime, K-pop merchandise, fashion, creative goods, fragrances and accessories share one building, so you can browse at leisure even in bad weather.
Start with the floors that interest you: K-pop and accessories on the 2nd floor, street culture on the 3rd, entertainment experiences on the 4th, and anime and culture on the 5th.
The building is indoors and has elevators. If you use a wheelchair or stroller, or need other assistance, ask the service desk about the available routes that day.
A good option for rainy or snowy days and the summer heat, especially for anyone interested in anime, K-pop, fashion or creative goods. It is also easy to reach from Hongik University Station.
