Yeouido is a central business hub in Seoul, famous for its skyscrapers and corporate HQs. However, recent leisure additions to Yeouido, such as The Hyundai Seoul, has made the area popular with folk from all walks of life, including bookworms. If you love reading or exploring book shops, visit BANDI/LUNIโs, the coolest library in Seoul.
BANDI/LUNIโS
Welcome to BANDI/LUNIโS, Seoulโs coolest library and bookstore with the modern atmosphere of Yeouido. At BANDI/LUNIโS there are 2 floors of books for you to browse, so come enjoy a relaxing afternoon of literary escape.
Of course, the first thing youโll see when you walk in are new arrivals and best sellers. Whether you read Korean or not, itโs interesting to see which books are flying off the shelves with Korean readers!
The shelves are neatly organised by fiction and non-fiction so you can make a beeline for the genre you love most.
There is also a large area devoted to economics and business management books, likely to appeal to the office workers that frequent the Yeouido area each day. Furthermore, if I worked in Yeouido, I would love to come and relax at BANDI/LUNIโS during free time.
And here is an entire section on works related to travelling!
A Cup of Tea and a Good Book
There is no better combination than a cup of tea and a good book. However, at BANDI/LUNIโS cafe, there is more than just tea. Why not enjoy a latte or smoothie, or even a toasted bagel.
Grab your beverage and book and take a seat wherever you like. Additionally, as weโre in Korea, there is no pressure for you to get up and leave once you finish your drink.
Alternatively, once youโve finished your drink, head back to the cafe for another! Or even try a slice of cake or pastry.
Home & Stationery Shop
On the 2nd floor, youโll find an adorable home and stationery shop with everything from desk-top trinkets to gifts.
Buy yourself a useful stationery kit or notepadโฆOr, splurge on a cuddly kitty plushie, because why not?
Furthermore, there is an electronics section with headphones, speakers and other accessories available.
