Yeouido IFC Mall Bookstore – Youngpoong Books

In Seoul’s Yeouido, there is the “Seoul International Finance Center,” which was established in 2012 and is referred to as “IFC SEOUL” in English, short for “International Finance Centre Seoul.”

The IFC complex consists of four buildings: “One IFC, Two IFC, Three IFC, and Conrad Seoul Hotel.”

IFC is an international business district and shopping mall in Yeouido, Korea. It was the first international finance center constructed in Korea and the third in Seoul.

IFC Mall is composed of commercial facilities, where you can find various stores. In areas where people gather, you can often find large bookstores. In Yeouido IFC Mall, you can find Youngpoong Books.

“Youngpoong Books located in IFC Mall”

Youngpoong Books is located on the basement floor of IFC Mall. It has been known to be present since the building’s completion in 2012.

Youngpoong Books is a large bookstore that can be found all over South Korea, along with the main branch in Jongno. They have various branches throughout the country.

Being a franchise store, Youngpoong Books in Yeouido IFC Mall is not significantly different from other Youngpoong Books stores you might find elsewhere. However, Youngpoong Books not only sells books but also offers a wide range of miscellaneous items. The one in Yeouido is no exception.

“A wide variety of books and miscellaneous items can be found at Youngpoong Books”

You can explore not only books but also various miscellaneous items. They sell various products such as stationery, music albums, and other miscellaneous goods.

While the store is quite spacious, there is surprisingly little space for sitting and reading books. This might be because IFC Mall itself has various cafes, and they may not have intentionally set up separate spaces for people to sit and read or rest.

As a bookstore you can find in Yeouido, it’s a great place to shop and browse for the latest trends.
