What to eat
Kongbiji — ground soybean stew selected
Nearby
Seonjeongneung Royal Tombs
It opens at 06:00 and sells monthly and lunchtime passes, which tells you what it mostly is: a working park that office workers and neighbours walk through, which happens to contain two royal tombs. Under-25s get in free, so for most young travellers the ticket price is irrelevant.
Starfield COEX Mall
A shopping mall laid out beneath the trade centre complex in Samseong-dong. The library and the aquarium both sit inside it, so three of this registry's places share one building.
COEX Convention & Exhibition Center
The exhibition and convention centre at Samseong, whose halls and auditorium host fan meetings and awards shows. It is a separate operation from the Starfield COEX Mall and the aquarium in the same underground complex.
Starfield Library
It is a mall atrium, not a library in the quiet sense — there is no lending, and the photographs everyone comes for are of a space full of people. Power sockets and worktables make it a genuinely usable stop between COEX appointments.
