OFF drugstore Myeongdong is a store where you pick products yourself with a cart or basket. Put what you need in, then pay for everything at once at the checkout counter. Prices do not change with quantity, so even if you buy just 1 item, you pay the price on the shelf label.
Grab a cart or basket at the entrance first. If you plan to buy several items, a cart is easier. Walk the shelves once, then head to the checkout counter so you do not retrace your steps.
Shelf price labels are in 4 languages: Korean, English, Chinese, and Japanese. Under the product name, the label also says what symptoms the product is for, so you can compare products yourself in the store without asking staff.
Afternoon to evening is when Myeongdong has the most foot traffic. If you want to take your time choosing, come in the morning. If you expect to buy a lot, make us the last stop of your day.
We do not have parking. Cars have a hard time getting into Myeongdong, so we recommend coming by subway or on foot. We are 271 m from Myeongdong Station Exit 6.
You can bring your pet inside. The store is spacious, so moving around is easy, but please use a leash or pet carrier for other shoppers.
At the checkout counter, you can pay with Alipay, WeChat Pay, UnionPay, or WOWPASS. If you plan to get a tax refund, you need your physical passport when you pay. Have your passport ready to shorten your wait.
