Reservation
It is an ordinary shop, so no booking is involved, and the official store page has no reservation field.
Payment
The official store page lists WeChat Pay, Alipay and tax free under services. It does not mention foreign credit cards or Apple Pay, so those are left unconfirmed.
Hours
Daily 11:00–21:00
Tips
- A 2024 article on the Korea Tourism Organization's English site lists the Hongdae store for immediate tax refund: show your passport at the counter and you pay the price without VAT. The same article gives limits of ₩1 million per purchase and ₩5 million per stay, but that was as of 2024 and may have changed. Hand over your passport before paying.
- Hours are from Musinsa's official store page, checked on 30 September 2026, which says "EVERYDAY". Holidays and events can change them, so check the official page or a map app before you go.
Hongdae · Places
AK PLAZA Hongdae
AK플라자 홍대A five-floor mall at 188 Yanghwa-ro, in front of Hongik Univ. Station. AK Plaza's official page gives 11:00–22:00 on weekdays and 10:30–22:00 on weekends and public holidays; there was no closing day in September 2026. Floors run 1F daily lifestyle, 2F fandom and accessories, 3F street culture, 4F entertainment and 5F animation and culture. During opening hours it also works as a restroom stop by the station: Korea's accessible-tourism listing notes an accessible toilet and elevators.
Bongsan Jeongyuk
봉산정육A Hongdae meat house that says it hand-picks only 1++ Hanwoo and pork with 40%+ marbling, with staff grilling each cut for you. It opens every day from 12:00 to 23:00 with last order at 22:20, so a late dinner works — and corkage is free if you bring your own wine.
Gimbap Cheonguk Hongdae Main Branch
김밥천국 홍대본점A Gimbap Cheonguk branch at 55 Eoulmadang-ro. Its hours change by day, so whether it works for breakfast depends on the day: on Friday and Saturday nights it stays open until 09:00 the next morning, while Monday to Thursday it closes at 05:30 and reopens at 10:00. Gimbap starts at ₩4,000; visitors say ordering is by kiosk and it also sells soju and beer.
Manaolana
마나올라나A brunch cafe on Seongmisan-ro in Yeonnam-dong. Its DiningCode listing gives 07:00–18:00 every day, last order 17:00. The menu is breakfast food: a one-plate brunch, sandwiches, Greek yoghurt bowls and a potato soup. Apart from the 24-hour gimbap shops, it is the earliest opening in Hongdae and Yeonnam on any day of the week.
