hah... I am planning to make a trip to Korea next month.... Will be in Seoul onlt though...
I am hoping to get some CDs like Shinhwa and some movie DVDs....
I was wondering if anyone can tell me about the average prices of such things there? so i roughly know to buy from which shop.... If i can even identify A CD shop...
haha

Some DVD titles i;m looking for are : Millionaire's First Love, the King and Clown
I wonder if they come with Eng subtitles or do they?

Thank You

Hmm..
I don't watch movies that much myself, so don't usually buy movie dvds(korean ones).
However a friend of mine (canadian) enjoys watching korean movies and he says all the korean movies have english subs these days. So maybe you don't have to worry too much about it.
I heard great shopping area in Seoul is Myung dong. And if you want to go for shopping clothes you shoud check out Dong dae moon market too.

I'd chose Dong dae mun ...
Nam gets more visited by foreigners and Seller seem to take overprice for items for them.
Just remember, in a market world .. real price is not what is printed in a label ..

And as for DVD .. try this one (KOREAN)

I love K-designed clothes .. cheap aswell

from what i remember, CD's are about 12,000-15,000 won...which equates to about 12 to 15 dollars...
dvd's are about 20,000 something won...i forgot exactly, so about 20-30 dollars...

and the good shopping places, make sure you go to MyeongDong...its the supposed to be the biggest foreign attraction place and has ALOT of students, people, stores, and places to eat.

and about clothes, if you go to myeong dong, you will see alot...i really dont know unless you want to know where the upscale places are, which then you MUST go to apkujeongdong (galleria and the other galleria) and chungdamdong...

hope you have a great time!
