Holy shit. The American fashion industry totally rips us off. Even in nicer korean stores like CherryKoko a blouse is around 10-15 dollars less than a blouse you would, say, get in American Apparel, Urban Outfitters, or Express. Comin' from a girl that loves fashion and clothes f this no wonder I'm so poor all the damn time
Right? Every time I watch videos about shopping in Korea, I get sad because a nice quality shirt in a really cute and/or unique style is always like 10-15 dollars, but here, if you're buying the shirt for the same price, it's either good quality but plain or bad quality but cute. :c
I think maybe because it's smaller and the materials they use aren't quite good. I remember I bought a very cute Korean dress online and once it arrived it was too small and the cloth was very thin and felt weird!
Iwona icereamcone You bought it from an unknown online source doesn't prove anything that Korean clothes are bad quality, especially since there are so many Chinese knockoffs that advertise themselves as Korean website. I sell clothes online and I think Korean clothing are priced reasonable as per price to value ratio
Aww I so want to go to Korea now but, I need to improve my Korean before I go. Professor Oh do you know of any good programs\books&Cd's that teach korean?
I use howtostudykorean.com and i think its pretty good but my friends say its too much info to handle. Idk you check it out and see for yourself. Also they just added short stories to the website and the first one is free and getting the others isnt very expensive either (i think $10 for each set but i might be wrong)
You can check this channel: TalkToMeInKorean (they also have a website and sell all kind of books & ebooks. I'm learning with them (books r amazing) and I use Rosetta Stone ^.^
I wouldn't say they're TOP quality, but they're definitely wearable. I buy most of my casual clothes at these places too (esp gangnam and hongdae) and I think it's a pretty good deal! You just have to inspect closely before buying :)
Koreans seem to go through clothes faster. You change your wardrobe often so they buy cheaper clothes. In the west we keep clothes longer so we buy them to last so they are more expensive.
They are pretty amazing quality actually. I went to all the places in the video and bought stuff from there, practically my wardrobe is made of clothes i bought there lol and the clothes are pretty nice :)
I have been to where you shopped in 강남!! So many memories of wondering around that square for hours trying to find the food court area haha! The underground shopping mall in 강남 is fun even though it is always busy and a little bit confusing to walk around in. Great video!
so at first I only wanted to go to korea bc of kpop. then for the food. and now I am obsessed with the fashion. I really hope I can get there next year *-*
Korean shopping alway seems so exciting because of the cheap prices but in all honesty i wouldn't be able to fit any of it because the sizes don't go high.
LMAO, the look on her face drastically changed when she saw Brad from normal face to super smiley. Better show off that cute smile to get the boys. I SEE YOU! ;)
I love you! You are simply the best! Would love to pal around with you in Seoul! Hopefully I'll be able to visit there a few times before the year is over.
one of my favorite thing to do besides eating.... SHOPPING! SHOPPING! SHOPPING! tons of good stuff to buy, wish i have tons of money, too! hehehe! i miss the whole cast of Professor's Oh KWow! when will they comeback??? fighting!
My favorite place is gangnam station! The shop stores have inexpensive price with good quality product. I found super fancy shoes, cute socks, and sweater
In China, there was some stallkeeper that tried to charge us RMB680 for a wallet, then before we left they had cut the price down to RMB280 and when we walked elsewhere to another shop, it barely costed RMB60 for the same wallet :P so it's the same everywhere in Asia - and yes by speaking the native language and by looking similar to them (as East Asians in general) does help.
haiiii dear aaaaa can't wait goiing to korea on february 2017 so how about in middle february? its a good time to visit korea? and how about minus celcius? thx you so much : P_
Was that Dalshabet'ds B.B.B in the back ground? Or was I hearing things? lol Anyway, I love these kind of shops! Unfortunately, I probably wouldn't fit much since I'm 5'10 and kinda tubby lol. So all my money will be lost on jewelry and other accessories I guess xD
She's been outside Korea for quite a while. All of the recent videos were filmed in February. She just decided to spread them out instead of uploading all at once. :)
I just got back from Korea and I legit went to all 6 of the above places mentioned. REALLY GREAT BARGAINS i wished i bought more but my luggage space wouldn't allow ;______;
Wow everything seems so cheap there. Stuff on America costs wayyy to much. My dream is to live in Korea! I love the fashion and everything so much there and I really want to study there
When you said you don't have enough cash in edae.. Does that mean they only except cash and not card? I'm going soon and I wanna be prepared cause I love shopping!!! ^_^
SHINSEGAE!!!!! sweetandtasty Have you went into the Chrome Hearts Store?? If its possible can you check out the price for the 2NE1xChromeHearts Hoodie? Please! :3 (if they still sell it) Its Shinsegae exclusive so Its impossible to get it here in Canada :'(
Damnnn i wish i knew about all these shopping places while i was in korea!!!! No worries there's always next time, ...which would be half a year too long for me :(

"good quality but plain or bad quality but cute"
You speak the truth, especially true here in the US

make sure you check the size, size is different is Korea. So called American size in Korea is bit different.
"Can you buy this for me? You're so pretty today"
One way to make your mom buy you things XD
I wished cardigans cost $10 here in America. Haha
Sup Hee ikr

I'm currently learning Korean with Rosetta Stone's application. And it's GREAT? Best way to learn a language imo. :)

If I know very little Korean, will I survive there?
you will !
MadiMochi ehhh lol
literally the main reason why i'm too scared to travel to korea
I think someone has a crush on the "bodyguard". LOL! 😍 I love polite guys and I love how he bowed to your mom. So sweet.
Are the clothes good quality? I can't imagine clothes like that being so cute and cheap costing about 10 or 5 dollars!
omg no trust me its really good quality! majority of my shirts are like 5$ 10$ and they are really good quality! its unbelievable!
I wouldn't say they're TOP quality, but they're definitely wearable. I buy most of my casual clothes at these places too (esp gangnam and hongdae) and I think it's a pretty good deal! You just have to inspect closely before buying :)

The socks have amazing quality.

+Karla Obispo I see thank you so much ! 😊💖
Here in New Zealand, stuff (mostly clothing and food) is so expensive.
Stripes have been a trend for a year or so no doubt. You couldn't watch a Korean variety show without seeing stripes on at least a few people.
Everything looks so fun!! I'm so excited to go to Seoul soon ㅠㅠㅠㅠ Though I'm hoping I can learn more korean before I go LOL
You should do a video for tourist first time in korea of where and which hotel to stay like the cheaper one lol
I was there just last month haha. Anyway awesome vids as always Prof Oh!
Bavarian Donuts are the best !!!
Too bad it's winter ... you could buy a bikini for Professor Oh ... and Billy-Jin might like one too! And where do they sell hanbok?
