ok. so there are several places where every tourist have heard of.
Gangnam station, Garosu Gil, Coex and Hong dae( MY FAV!!!!)
These are the mainstream but highly suggestible to visit. Because it is mainstreamed for reason.(Except Coex)
I'll go over one by one with the picture ok ? haha
1. Gangnam station
Frankly speaking, I don't fancy this place that much. But I have to admit this is very good place to hang out with friends. Literally it has everything in this station area. Along the Main Road, there are huge branded cosmetic and clothing shops and street stalls. If you only go main street in Gang nam station, it means you've failed to tour the gangnam. In the back street, there's where all the real KOREANS go.
First, thousands of restaurant. Second, restaurant mainly sells alcohol. Third, nice cafes(cat cafe included). Fourth, plastic surgery hospital and hospital only for lasik. Fifth, clubs and karaoke and video room and room cafe. Sixth, english and chinese academies for adults.
But this back street are literally look like a 'BACKSTREET'. So I assume that's why all foreigners can't be seen on backstreet. BUT it is the place where my friends and I mostly hang out. Restaurants here sell mainly KBBQ or Western Food.
Here you go the picture of Gangnam st.

2. Garosu Gil
I have to say, even though many people already know and love this place, this is truly the original hipster place in Korea. You can see many cool clothing shops(Which is tremendously expensive..) and accessory shops as well as the cool western restaurant and some cool pubs. If you and I are lucky, we could see the Korean models there. I really don't know why but the models love to hang out there. The Street photos that are taken for fashion magazines are all mainly taken here.

3. COEX
Well. Actually this is not recommended place for you to go, but I added in because I love to go this place without a reason. It used to be my reign while I was primary school it was mini gangnam station to me. But unfortunately after I went High school, it went through longterm renovation, it recently ended and I haven't visited there. haha. the ground floor and above is for expos and convention. And the underground is the main place to hang out. There is Central Cinema where all the movie stars and Kpop stars gather for the movie preview. (I saw the actors in Twilight while I hung out with my friend there. BY COINCIDENCE) Nothing much to see inside since the shops that I used to go are all gone now. I can't wait to see what is still left and how it is renovated. ummm

4. Hong dae
uhhhhhhhhhhh MY FAVORITE PLACE!!!! I once disappointed for I thought there only got some main street only. But few years later I realised there are so many small indie shops placed in small back streets. That's when I fell in love with Hong dae. One day is not enough to look around Hong dae. Maybe 2~3 days are preferable to tour there. The Key point there is small but well decorated cafes, distinctive and creative shops, bars that have a theme, creative restaurants, fashionable people, cool clothes.. In the night, the musician living in Hong date come out to the street and sing for free. Since that is some kind of ritual for musicians to perform in the hong dae street. This street is simply attracting people to explore into every street.
