Shopping at Olive Young
Olive Young is Korea's largest health and beauty chain with over 1,300 stores nationwide. Large stores are easy to find near Myeongdong, Hongdae, and Gangnam. The app lets you check stock and add items to a cart before you arrive. During sale events, discounts can reach 40–50%. Membership can be set up with a foreign phone number.
How to get a VAT refund
Foreign tourists can reclaim part of the 10% VAT on purchases of KRW 30,000 or more at a single Tax Free-registered store. Ask for a tax refund receipt at checkout. At Incheon Airport, get customs confirmation first, then collect your refund at the airport refund counter in cash or to a card.
Daiso and duty-free
Daiso prices most items at KRW 500–5,000, ideal for travel accessories, beauty tools, and small gifts. City duty-free stores let you order in the city and pick up at the airport — online duty-free is usually cheapest.
