For many of you that don’t know, I actually grew up in South Korea. Just under 20 years ago, we didn’t have a whole lot of choices of where we went grocery or home goods shopping. We did have one E-Mart; it was considered fancy-shmancy back then, but my mother was a trooper at the local markets and made do with whatever she could get her hands on.
Recently, I feel like we have all been spoiled with so many choices. Whether it be for the home, for the health conscious or for the aspiring interior decorator, we have a plethora of super mart choices, albeit their being a bit of a drive away. So if you’re new to the ROK and have an itch to go shopping for your home, grab your GPS and check out any of the following:
An oldie but a goodie, this familiar store opened earlier this year and, with it, the craze of IKEA. During the � rst month of being open, the number of people that � ocked to the store caused some of the worst traf� c this district has seen in a long time – it made the local news!
Word to the wise: if you plan on visiting this well-known Swedish favorite, then be prepared for some crowds! If you want to avoid shoulder-to-shoulder style browsing, then head on over during the week, avoid the weekends and you’ll be just � ne.
ADDRESS: Gyeonggi-do, Gwangmyeong-si, iljik-ro 17
Costco Wholesale is a membership warehouse club based in the States, dedicated to bringing its members quality goods and services. There are a few Costcos in the greater Seoul area, but the better branch is its Yangjae location. I went here a few years ago and was surprised to learn that if you have a Costco membership card from the States, you can use it at Costco here! Don’t have a membership? A one-year membership runs approximately 30,000 KRW for the year.
They stock the standard � nds that you would expect; I love their fruit and veggie sections - the deals are seasonal and worth it! Don’t pass up on the bakery section, especially if you love croissants as much as I do!
ADDRESS: 159 Yangjae-daero, Seocho-gu, Seoul
Now, unless you have a car, it can be a bit dif� cult to get to E-Mart Town. Open since June of this year, E-Mart Town is your one stop shop for restaurants, home goods, fruits, veggies, meat and toys. You name it - it is there!

Located in the Ilsan area (a little west of Seoul) I am not sure if any buses or transportation go there, so if you have a few friends, it is well worth the carpool adventure out there. If you don’t have a car, � nd your way to Daewha Station and then take a taxi from there – it is about 5 minutes away.
What do they have? EVERYTHING! Mainly Korean produce, but a lot of American brands are also available. There are restaurants, a hair dresser, a pet store and a little electronics market. Emart Town is also hitched right next to an Emart Traders (the Korean version of Costco, membership not needed.)
ADDRESS: Gyeonggi-do, Goyang-si, Kintex-ro 171
Note: For an Emart Traders closer by, check out the branch in Cheonan-Asan. ADDRESS: Chungnam-do, Asan-si, Baebang-Eub, GoSeokdaero 133Or, take the train to Cheonan-Asan station and Emart Traders is right across the road from the station.

Korean traditional dance has been a crucial part of this country’s culture with rich history and storytelling that continues today. It is one comprehensive craft combining labor and art which connects work, shaman rites, amusements and drama.
Korean dance is focused on the internal expression and metaphysical joy that’s called Heoung (흥). Costume, elegance and mystique are highly considered, so usually, the dancer’s body is strictly concealed in a voluminous dress and long sleeves, or they wear a conical hat, depending on the type of dance.
Dance in Korea began with shamanistic rituals thousands of years ago. Indigenous people in Korea hope to enlist the help of the gods’ supernatural power to protect themselves. So the shamans used dance as part of their ritual with the goal of entertaining gods and asking their blessing. As time passed through the ancient era, religious dance styles standardized with regional peculiarities. As the years went by, traditional dance molded into
four main types: court, folk, mask and ritual dance.
Folk dance (민속무용) has a lack of restrictions so people can engage in it without formality and constraint. It expresses the emotions of ordinary people and life as relatively fast tempo beats that accompany each dance. Folk dance styles are intermingled with Buddhist and shaman forms – rites and rituals come from both practices.
Salpuri (살풀이) is a spirit-cleansing folk dance: Koreans call curses or negative energy from a person sal (살) and try to remove it through dance. It was derived from a shaman’s exorcism dance and developed into a folk dance, and is usually performed by the senior female dancer as a solo. She wears a white hanbok (traditional cloth) and carries a long white handkerchief.
In contrast to folk dance (민속무용), court dances (궁중무용) are slow, stately and elegant; the movement is balanced and restrained due to the in� uence of Confucianism. The subjects praise the royal court and wish kings good health and longevity. Its unique feature is having a leader recite during the performance. It was usually performed at banquets hosted by the royal court for state guests or national events. Nowadays, it’s usually performed to entertain audiences such as tourists.
Geommu (검무) is a court dance that is performed using swords. It is a group dance comprised of six to eight female dancers holding swords in each hand. The dance is known for its glamour in performance. There are three typical motions: � rst, the dancers
make two rows and stand face to face. Second, they dance in a kneeling position. In the last motion, the dancers form a circle and rotate in pattern. Mask dances (가면무용) are basically a folk art developed by the common classes. They originate from religious plays by Buddhist monks and for exorcism. Today, they are performed throughout many regions in the country as forms of entertainment. This dance is based on a sense of the unfairness of their lives and was a parody of human weaknesses, corrupt of� cials and the upper class. Performers rhythmically jump, leap and squat to the sounds of percussions.
Talchum (탈춤, mask dance drama) is the most representative mask dance. There are thirteen different types of talchum in Korea. In the most popular theme, performers lampoon their dissatisfaction of the estate institution of Confucianism and harass upper-class people. While performing Talchum, dancers wear a mask, miming, speaking and even sometimes singing. They appeal to the audiences by ridiculing the privileged and showing the con� ict between lower and upper class people humorously.

Ritual dance (의식무용) appears in Confucian, shamanistic and Buddhist ceremonies. In Buddhist dance, the underlying purpose of dance is offering one’s body to Buddha. The shaman was sometimes treated as a performer, offering solace to vindictive spirits through dance. It has in� uenced most dances in Korea.Nabichum (나비춤, butter� y dance) is the most crucial performance for the Buddhist ritual service, because this dance represents Buddhist scriptures. The dance was performed by Buddhists and named for its choreography and costume, which resemble the appearance of a butter� y. Today, traditional dance is still performed by folk dancing groups. They are not only maintaining traditional choreography, but also creating new or modi� ed folk dances to develop the culture. Even now, Korean dancers and their performances are ever-evolving and continually re� ecting culture through dance.
