Known as a popular tourist destination for its mix of shopping, dining, and Hallyu culture, this area is a favorite destination for visitors from around the world, and on June 15, 2025, my daughter and I visited this location, a short walk from Myeongdong Subway Station on Subway Line 4. According to its official website, Myeongdong is characterized by its unique atmosphere, with hundreds of stores lining its 1-kilometer-long main street, where everything from traditional Korean-style restaurants to the latest fashion brands coexist.

From Private Wisdom’s point of view, this space embodies “harmony” and “aesthetics” and is a place to nurture the senses.
The store was crowded with young people, couples and groups of friends enjoying shopping. emis’ appeal lies in its simple yet detailed items, including caps, headbands, T-shirts, and arm covers. Seasonal collaboration items and designs worn by K-pop idols were especially popular, and my daughter’s eyes lit up as she repeatedly tried on these items. When she smiled and said, “I want them all,” I felt the pure passion of youth, and as a parent, I was filled with the desire to support her choice. According to the official website, the online store also offers limited-edition products that are sure to sell out, making the experience at the Myeongdong store even more special.

After shopping at EMIS, my daughter and I ventured to Myeongdong’s food stall street. This area is known for its lively mix of savory fried food smells, sweet sugar aromas, and the laughter of tourists and young locals; on our visit on June 15, 2025, my daughter’s eyes were drawn to the glossy strawberry candy, a glittering array of glowing red fruits covered in a candy coating. From Private Wisdom’s perspective, this moment was a harmonious experience of “nature’s bounty” and “shared joy.
My daughter’s innocent smile as she held a strawberry candy in her hand showed me that for a child, a journey is a series of these small moments of happiness. The time spent walking along the street stalls, experiencing Korean street food culture, and taking pictures with my daughter shaped our family memories. According to official information, Myeongdong’s street stalls offer different sweets and snacks each season, with cool strawberry and melon products popular in the summer months; this time of “spiritual growth,” as Private Wisdom calls it, was a journey of finding quiet richness in the midst of the hustle and bustle. My daughter’s comment that she would like to try the melon candies next time, made my anticipation for the rest of the trip grow.
