In Korea, the atmosphere of a store changes depending on which floor it’s on.
Author: Anonymous•

In Korea, you can generally get a sense of a store’s vibe from which floor it’s on.
・1st floor: Focused on quick turnover, easy to enter
・2nd–3rd floors: Cafés and more relaxed places
・Basement: A stronger local feel
This trend is fairly common in Seongsu (Seongsu) and Hannam-dong (Hannam-dong).
When looking for a place,
the floor number can also be a helpful clue.
