Monami Store Seongsu Branch

Monami Shop is a great place to experience the experience, where you can engrave your name on a ballpoint pen, mix colors to create your own pen, and even combine ballpoint pens in the colors you want.

I had a new experience mixing ink to create new colors. I also made a pen and had to use the remaining ink in a fountain pen, so I bought a fountain pen. I was worried because it was my child's first time using a fountain pen, but he liked it.

I visited with my mother. I liked that you can create your own signature ink by mixing inks. However, the male staff member was very rude. (The female staff member was kind.) In particular, my mother had trouble assembling the pen, so when I asked her how to do it, she sighed deeply and said, "Ha, you have to use force." After the experience, when I asked about the components to buy a fountain pen, she sighed again, so just being in the store felt like a nuisance and was uncomfortable.

There are many different types of ballpoint pens and they can be customized, so it seems like a good place to look around and experience them!

It was such a fun time. The staff was really kind and explained everything thoroughly and made sure that I didn't feel uncomfortable throughout the experience. I really liked the ink color. I even bought a fountain pen to use the ink. It felt like I received a gift, even down to the final packaging.

I made it after paying in advance for the plush fan. It was special because I could make it by mixing two inks with my own color combination, so I could make a fan that was just for me.

I went with my friends, and the explanations were kind and there were many choices, so it was a fun experience. It was fun enough to fill up the time. I recommend it as a date course or with friends.

There are many different items to give as gifts, and if you go in and look around while waiting for your appointment time, time will pass quickly. It is a place where you will definitely have to open your wallet and buy something when you go in. If you like props or are a stationery enthusiast, you should definitely go and look around. There are also engraved pens, so it is good to give as a gift. It is a stationery shop in Seongsu-dong that is really good for looking around and shopping.

It was my first time, and I had fun and enjoyed it :)

I was going to make a Monami, but a family took over and didn't even move while I was looking around ㅠㅠ So I ended up just buying stickers... What a pity~!

The product I bought for 27,000 won with an additional 2,000 won for engraving was 17,500 won on the official website, and the price was 20,500 won including free engraving and shipping, so there's a big price difference. If you're not in a hurry, I recommend the official website!

It was fun and enjoyable to use and experience the ink. It was also interesting to hear that the ink changes depending on whether you put in the base, as in the third picture. It was nice that you could make water-based pens in addition to making the ink yourself and being given fountain pen ink!

I came here to buy a gift for a friend who is re-employed. The staff were all friendly and the engraving was done quickly!!

I like that I can assemble it in my favorite color style.

The male staff during the weekday afternoons are very unfriendly. I think they need to change their tone of speech and attitude towards customers.

I bought two pretty colored sharpies! They come in a variety of colors and I liked that I could try them out before buying.

It was fun to look around and the experience of making my own ballpoint pen was also great.

I was passing by and stopped by to look around, and I thought about all the pens I have at home. These days, I hardly have any use for my pens, so they are just sitting there unused. ㅜㅜ

It's smaller than I thought, so I like that I can just take a quick look^^

I bought this as a gift to keep the memories of our outing to Seongsu-dong with my friends! We each chose a Monami ballpoint pen that we liked and even had it engraved. It's a souvenir that I really, really like.

I added 12,000 won per bottle of ink and made 2 more bottles. I really, really like it!! I think I'll come again.

I had fun looking around and making good purchases because the quality of the mechanical pencils, ballpoint pens, and highlighters were good and varied.

While I was in Seongsu, I stopped by the Monami store. It was a memorable Monami. There was a pen that I could make myself, so I put it together and gave one to a friend. It was a fun outing.

This is the Monami store in front of exit 4 of Seongsu Station! They have various pens and mechanical pencils, and you can DIY a pen with the color combination you want 🤩 The price is 1,000 won, so I recommend everyone to stop by and try making it without any burden!

I like making my own unique ballpoint pen~~~

I took an ink-making class with my elementary school son, and it was a fun and unique experience.

It seems like it was a fun experience to make my own ink~ The staff were kind enough to teach me!! It wasn't as easy as I thought to make the color I wanted by combining the ink, but since you can mix it multiple times, you can find a color you like~!!

You can make a basic ballpoint pen, and it's a really fun space. Next time, I want to try making ink.

It's perfect for a unique date! It's really fun and I love how my own ink accumulates into data!

Arrived 5-10 minutes late for the reservation time. It was nice that they called in advance to confirm. I visited because my child, not an adult, liked making ink, but I felt that they were not very friendly. I heard that children do not come often, which made me feel bad. It sounded like they were asking why I brought my child, but saying that I was offended was not the right comment, whether or not it was intentional. They were very friendly to the women making ink next to them. Anyway, for those of you who are bringing children, please take note.

I went from far away and the rude male staff ruined my weekend. I'm the type of person who just eats if the food isn't good. I've never written anything like this. I spent money and time and I feel so bad... I'm writing this because it's so unpleasant. I felt bad for wasting my time going there to experience this, so I just did it. I don't know if you're the owner or an employee, but if you're going to provide service like that, don't do business. Why do you give such bad memories to people who spent all that time there? You don't even explain it properly, and your attitude was bad throughout the basic experience... If you want to waste money, waste time, and feel bad, then go and do it. After seeing this, I hope you reflect on your own attitude and don't make the same mistake with other customers. Male staff.

It was so much fun!!!! I came to Seoul for the holidays and this was an experience I really wanted to try. It was so interesting and focused! I didn't know how time passed! 😎

The pens made here became my favorite pens. They were fun and special. I liked the Insadong store, so I visited it every time I went there. The Seongsu store was bigger, so I liked it even more. If you're interested in stationery like me, I think it's a must-visit. I'll go again.

It's small compared to the maniacal stores of Japanese stationery companies, but Monami fighting!

It was a new experience. With a kind explanation, I was given the ink I made, and I was given a bottle to fill with it, and I was given the ink to make a plus pen. It took an hour. (11:00~12:00) An hour is a breeze. It would be better if you have basic knowledge about color combinations. The manufacturing method is simple, but if you don't know color combinations, the colors you can make are limited.

It's a meaningful experience that you should experience at least once!

I was very satisfied with the Monami product because I assembled it myself. I liked that there were many pretty and diverse Monami products. It was easy to give as a gift and the recipients liked it. I will have to try the ink DIY next time.

I experienced making a Monami pen. I saw actor Ahn Jae-hyun make it on I Live Alone and thought I should go and try it someday, and today was that day. It was so easy when he explained it, but the more I tried it, the more I got into it? It was a very enjoyable experience for me who loves pens :) I made it with my heart thinking of the person I love, and it became a very meaningful gift 😍😆 I recommend going with a lover or a friend.

I came to experience it with my younger sibling, and it was fun to find my own color. They extracted 30ml of ink for me, and the packaging was so pretty that I liked it🧡

I visited 💜Monami💚, which became more famous after Ahn Jae-hyun visited on I Live Alone! Although the store is not that big, the variety of products caught my eye because they were well organized! In addition to the traditional, hard-to-find Monami, there are a variety of colorful products and collaboration products, so it's fun to look at and feast your eyes on! Plus, the ballpoint pens that you can customize for 1,000 won are the most popular, and it was fun to make them myself! It was also great that I could test the colors and textures of the various ballpoint pens! There were so many pretty products when I looked around in person that I ended up buying more than I thought, but I'm still satisfied!! It's a space that's pleasing to the eyes! If you want to feel the charm of Monami, I recommend stopping by the Monami store☺️👍🏻!!

My first love for Monami, which I've liked since I was young, is my last love. I wanted to buy a gift for my Taiwanese friend that would be cute and would be well-received, but not burdensome. I was able to buy a cute pencil case with 4 Monami pens in it for 10,000 won. I love you 🫶🏻

It's easy to make, and if you ask the staff, they'll tell you.

It's so cute and pretty!! I gave it as a gift and she loved it so much!

I can't help but buy a product that Maru collaborated with. The store is clean and there's a lot to see! I think it would be good to take a look when you visit Seongsu.

I saw it on Ahn Jae Hyun's episode of 'I Live Alone' and I often pass by this place, but I went to the Starbucks next door and it's such a stylish and clean Monami store!!!!!! I saw the white and black ballpoint pens!!!!!! I stopped by with my child and had a blast looking around^^ There are so many items I want to buyㅠㅠ

I love that there are so many different types of writing instruments and that you can experiment with them!

It was a rewarding experience. It was busy because it was the weekend, but I was satisfied because I was able to look at various products while waiting~^^ Even though I'm in 3rd grade, I was able to do it well without any help.

It was a fun experience!! I was able to make pretty colors myself and the various pens had different feels, which was great!!

I bought a 3,000 won Monami ballpoint pen set. The colors are so pretty.

My first time making my own ink! It was such a new and refreshing experience! It's a great class to experience and enjoy alone, with friends, lovers, and family. The staff explained it very kindly and the packaging was pretty. I'm leaving with unforgettable memories.☺️

You can see Monami at a glance. There are various experience spaces. You can make your own notebook. They also provide engraving services for high-end products. It was also interesting to see that the synonym for cheap ballpoint pens also makes high-end ballpoint pens.

Last time I visited and just looked, but this time I went to see Nahonsan, so I made sure to take note of it!! They are kind and quick.

I knew I could make the ink I wanted at the Monimi store~ But, while I was looking around the Seongsu branch, I saw a plush pen DIY~ I was so curious about the process, so I chose the ink color I liked and made it~ It was a simple process, but fun~

The staff is friendly and the store is clean. It's worth a visit.

It was a great value gift that my boyfriend was really happy about. I didn't know that Monami had a BTS ballpoint pen and I ended up getting one!

I bought a Neo refill. I searched online all the time and finally got it at the Seongsu shop. The staff member gave me detailed information about the compatible refills, so I was able to buy it at a low price.

The staff is so unfriendly that it is uncomfortable. It is hard to even ask. Is Monami's workload so intense without compensation? The customer is not receiving any feedback from the staff, and it is very uncomfortable.

There are various exhibitions of Monami products, and the customized products and experience zone are especially well-organized, so it is worth a visit. The staff is friendly and very skilled. If you come to Seongsu-dong, Monami is a must-see, not just Musinsa Dior.

I love that there are DIY ballpoint pens that cost only a thousand won and that you can even choose the color of!

I don't know if he's a male employee or a part-timer, but he was rude and rude. I came here to buy a gift and it made me feel bad. I probably won't go there again.

I looked around at Monami's various products and bought a few.

I didn't have high expectations, but the products were really diverse and good.

There are a variety of Monami ballpoint pens, so it's nice to look at them.

I like Monami pens~ I stopped by while passing by and found one I liked so I bought it! It's good value for money, pretty, and satisfying~ It was a shame that the silver pen was sold outㅠ I have to go buy it again next time~

I often come here when I have something to give as a gift. I am always grateful that the staff is friendly and the gift packages are pretty.

The staff were very friendly and gave me detailed information while I was experiencing it, and the store atmosphere was also really nice 🙂

I looked at various products and even made and purchased my own Monami pen!

I stopped by to buy stationery and it was neat and nice.

There are so many fun and pretty products that I can't help but buy them.

I like the Monami Store Seongsu branch where you can make your own pen.

I really like the Monami ballpoint pen that you can make yourself through DIY! There are so many things to experience that it's perfect for a date!

I loved being able to have the unique experience of creating my own color!

The male staff member who works on weekday evenings is really...unfriendly... I went to Seongsu in a good mood, but I only have bad memories of Monami.

You can also see Monami pen types that you didn't know about, and you can purchase 153 products by combining colors. 😉 In addition to pen types, there are various stationery products, so it's fun to look around.

These days, there are so many pretty Monami items. When I got home and saw that the items I bought were cheaper online, haha. But I'm still satisfied with buying them as a souvenir. ♡♡

I bought a gift pen and paid for the engraving service. The counter staff was friendly, but the employees were somewhat unfriendly, so I don't really want to visit again. It would be better if they provided friendly service. There are many different products, so it's good to look around and buy. However, for products with a certain price range, you have to ask them to take it out when paying at the counter, and the product name is small, so it was a little inconvenient to write it down or remember. I hope they release many good products in the future and the service will be more friendly. Oh, the packaging was a shame. A ballpoint pen costs tens of thousands of won, so it's quite expensive, but the wrapping paper and ribbon looked too cheap, so I wish they would make the wrapping paper prettier.

There are some things you can try at a low price (I like making plus pens), and I tested them and bought them because the quality was good enough for the price! I like them :)

I looked it up and found that it was possible to engrave and there were various designs, so I asked, but the male employee was really rude and didn't know anything, so I tried to explain it to him without any explanation. He was so rude that I'm sorry.

I was interested so I tried it. The teacher kindly explained and helped me, so I had a comfortable and enjoyable experience.

I had a question about fountain pens, and they kindly helped me out!

This is such a unique and great experience to make your own ink. I wonder when I will have another experience like this, and my friend who went with me loved it too! I recommend this to anyone who wants a special, unique, and unique experience! I didn't even realize how much time had passed!! The host was so kind and the best!!

I visited by chance and it was quite fun~

I was happy that I could see and buy the Robo products since they were in stock! The colors are...ㅠㅠ The lighting doesn't capture the colors well, but I saw them on the website and they were so pretty that I came and bought them!

The store was clean and I got a pretty Monami pen ㅎㅎㅎ

It was my first time at the Monami store, so I visited it. The atmosphere was clean and it felt very sophisticated? Thanks to that, I felt comfortable. Inside the store, there were various pens, fountain pens that could be engraved, and various goods on display. What was unique was the pen making and color making. There were two types of color making. If you make a reservation and visit, you can make color making with a professional, and you can make it yourself in front. And the original pen making at a low price was the most popular among people. I think the biggest advantage is that you can make a ballpoint pen in the color you want.

It's fun just to look at it ㅋㅋㅋㅋ You can also make a custom ballpoint pen, and if you order a high-end pen, you can have it engraved, so it's good for personal use or as a gift!

This is a place where anyone who likes writing or taking notes should visit and experience, not just the usual plain black pens and white bodies, but also the luxurious interior, various writing instruments, and colorful paper textures to match. It’s too bad that I couldn’t take pictures because I only bought a fluorescent pen. I hope you stay for a long time. I want to visit when there’s a collaboration I like.

The fun of combining ballpoint pens as you like😎👍 I'm happy to get a special Monami ballpoint pen at a low price💛

I think it's a good opportunity to make my own ink. You can also make good memories with friends.

The male staff member is really rude. He doesn't explain the product properly, puts the item down, and has a bad tone.

I came here because I needed a refill. Thank you for your kind guidance.
