Starfield COEX Mall
스타필드 코엑스몰
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.

Nearby
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.
SEA LIFE COEX Aquarium
Nobody should pay the gate price. The operator's own site sells the same adult ticket at a standing discount and drops it further on selected dates, so the number to plan around is the online one, booked before you arrive.
Bongeunsa Temple
The temple publishes no opening hours and no admission fee anywhere on its own site. What it does publish hours for is the bakery, the noodle canteen, the Buddhist-goods shop and the florist — which is a fair description of how the grounds are actually used.
