Based on the philosophy of the late founder of Kyobo Life Insurance, 'People make books, and books make people'
Kyobo Library Gwanghwamun, located in the center of downtown Seoul, has an area of 2,600 pyeong and a collection of about 220,000 books and 430,000 books.
As a representative cultural shelter in downtown Seoul, it has become the best bookstore in Korea.

Kyobo Bookstore Gwanghwamun Branch

I like Kyobo Bookstore these days because it seems like they have a lot of discounted items😀

The atmosphere in the store is not very friendly, but it was good for quickly purchasing the items I wanted.

What's going on in the world? Especially, it would be better to live without knowing anything about politics - I don't know the truth, but it's clear that polarization and division have worsened compared to before. I vaguely remember what I studied in school (sociology, political science). They say that the current chaotic situation (even though daily life still seems okay) is not a problem unique to this place, but is intertwined with the intervention of foreign powers. Many people might respond, 'What's going on in this day and age?', but it's a crisis because the influence of foreign powers is more covert and deeply penetrating than you think (as I learned before). Even in everyday life, power is subtly exerted in unexpected places, so we're being mind-controlled. Even authoritative media needs to double-check. Are the majority of people out on the streets crazy conspiracy theorists? All we can do is oppose the evil laws pouring out of the National Assembly and study more!

Kids on vacation are really bored lol Give me a book I want to read lol I want to live a little too lol Kyobo is the best lol

You can see the height of ignorance in Korea. Case 1. A woman who comes to Starbucks with her children, takes off the plastic from children's books, reads 10 of them, leaves them in the cafe, and goes home with her own child wearing a Moncler padding. Case 2. A woman who brings 5 books she didn't even buy, folds them up one by one, reads them, puts them back on the shelf when she gets home. Case 3. A student who highlights a major book with a highlighter and then puts it back on the shelf. If you really stay here, you'll realize that the reason our country has developed is because of a small number of sensible people who cherish and love books. You learn about life at Kyobo Bookstore.

Kyobo Bookstore Gwanghwamun branch is always nice to visit. After a long time, I leisurely browsed through new books, looked for books I needed, and bought snacks at the pop-up store.

Kyobo Bookstore, what more can I say~ It's such an exciting space. But when I visited in the winter, it was hot. It was too uncomfortable to browse books while carrying a bag and a thick coat. Since there were so many people, it felt like a nuisance to stay in a corner for a while, and it felt like a nuisance to have a lot of luggage.. It would have been convenient if there were at least a storage locker... I just thought that online shopping would have been more leisurely and comfortable to browse books. I don't recommend visiting Kyobo Bookstore in the winter.

There are many kinds and they are very friendly!! It's very spacious!

There are a lot of books and stationery, so if you need something, you can just go and look for it. It's also good that they give you 2 hours of parking.

I swiped my card without realizing it because of the friendly service.

Whenever I come to Seoul, I always stop by and buy books or stationery. I feel good every time I come here.

There are many books with the same title from other publishers, so you can see and choose for yourself.

It's wide and there's a lot to see~ I bought two books to read at the beginning of the year and I'm trying to increase the amount of reading this year.

Kyobo Bookstore that makes even children who hate reading books interested

It's been a while since I visited Kyobo Bundang Seohyeon branch! It's offline, but they give you a 10% discount and they're friendly. If you make a purchase, you get 2 hours free, but the parking ramp is quite narrow, so it might be better for beginners not to go in.

It's spacious and there are a lot of books. The staff were friendly, so I was able to use it comfortably.

Every time I come here, all the staff members are kind and explain things well, so I feel good. The store is also spacious and clean, so I come here often.

My favorite place :-) When I go into Kyobo, I lose track of time ㅎㅎ

I am very satisfied that you helped me find the book I was looking for in a hurry!!

I used Hottracks and bought it at a low price because it was a new semester school supplies sale. I am satisfied.

It's nice to look around, you can enjoy cultural facilities, and Kyobo Bookstore is really great.

I went there after a long time, and there were so many new products that time flew by while I was looking around🩷

I bought my first book in 2025 🎉 I chose a fun book that I can read from time to time. I enjoyed looking at various books and colorful pictures in the spacious space 🙂

Kyobo Bookstore has everything💛Hottracks❤️There's also a book search counter, so it's easy to find books even in a large space, and there's a lot to see, so it's great!!

My husband bought a book at Kyobo Bookstore and said there were a lot of people there~ It's a good thing to have a lot of people at a bookstoreㅎ

It's been a while since I've been to Kyobo Bookstore~~ They gave me a very, very small gift. I feel so good~~ I've been having a hard time with work lately~~ I've been annoyed and tired~~~ I feel like my mood has improved a bit~~ I hope this year won't be difficult and will pass with less hardship. I want to stay healthy and achieve what I want to achieve. It will happen!! It will happen!! It can be done!! If I say I can, I can do it!! I did it!!

I visited with my kids~~ We looked around and bought the books we wanted and came home.

I happened to be writing a post at the event corner near the main entrance of Kyobo Bookstore, and I liked it so much that I bought it! I want to use it for a long time without any problems ☺️

It was even better because there was a signing event by poet Na Tae-ju at the entrance.

I went to buy a book as a gift to an acquaintance... When I go to Kyobo Bookstore, I feel that there are a lot of people who read books...

I asked about this while looking for a book and they kindly helped me find it for me! It's a good place to buy books.

Buy books and watch hot tracks, killing two birds with one stone!!

Kyobo Bookstore Gwanghwamun branch, always giving peace of mind ☺️

I bought it cheaply during the diary sale!

There is a wide variety of books. I like that I get a discount with the birthday coupon.

Kyobo Bookstore Gwanghwamun branch! I love the cultural space with books📚.🤗

I like that I can buy books for my kids and check out the new and best books.

Always. Good place. I wish there were no grandmas or grandpas in the Taegeukgi unit.

It's convenient because you can pay for books and stationery together at the kiosk.

There were no samples for children's books. I wish there were samples, but it was fun for my child to choose and buy them.

I like the pretty diary commemorating 2025. There are more types than other stores.

This is a place I always stop by when I go to Gwanghwamun. I really like it.

It's a good place to go with kids during the holidays, but it's a bit crowded.

Reading a book at Starbucks in Gwanghwamun. It's always a great place.

I went with my daughter during the holidays and stopped by for about two hours and had a date. We bought some things we needed for studying and looked around. It was fun.

I came here because I was nearby and there was a book I wanted to buy😊

1. The very famous Kyobo Bookstore branch. It's always crowded no matter if you go on a weekday, weekend, or holiday. 2. There are a lot of new books and a variety of books by genre, so it's nice to look around. There's also a shop nearby where you can buy stationery, notebooks, etc., so I tend to buy several things I need every time I go. 3. However, since there's no space to read books on site, I like going to the nearby Starbucks when I have time, or sitting on the stairs outside when the weather is nice.

There are a lot of people, but it's spacious and there are a lot of books! I wish there were more sample books.

There are too many people... As there are many books, there are also many people...

There are a lot less sticker types than before.

There were a lot of books and the staff was very friendly! It was my first time using the app and it was great.

Kyobo Bookstore is spacious, comfortable, well-equipped with amenities, and the staff is friendly.

There are a variety of books, and the bookstore is really nice~ It's such a shame that Mont Blanc is gone!

Hello~ I visited Kyobo Bookstore Gwanghwamun while I was in Jongro~ It's a place with lots of people and books.^^ I plan to visit again~

I visit often because they have a lot of stationery as well as books!

There is a machine next to Kyobo Bookstore that can make key rings after developing photos, so I bought one and made it. I think it will be good for memorabilia. I will make it well and go. (You have to buy key rings at Kyobo Bookstore, lol)

It was nice to be able to see not only books but also various stationery and electronic products at a glance.

Kyobo Bookstore Gwanghwamun Branch📚 A place I visit with my child every time I come to Seoul. It's spacious and has a wide selection of books, so it's fun to look around. 😁 If you look around slowly with your child in a comfortable atmosphere, even though you came to buy books, time flies by.

I like it because there are a lot of cute stickers : )

I had a great time reading books with my child and receiving cute stationery as a gift~~

Other stores don't have a wide selection of books so I can't compare, but this store has a wide selection of books so it was a great help in making a purchase.

I visited Kyobo Bookstore Gwanghwamun Orange! I came here to buy two with a one-month One Plus One, and they were very friendly and fortunately they had the product in stock! I often come to Gwanghwamun and Kyobo, so I think I should stop by often to buy lenses!

I took my child there~ It was fun to look around~

I like the Morning Glory Mini Pocket Album (4×6)~ㅎ They also have a lot of different pop-up events~ㅎ (There are a lot of visitors even on weekday afternoons~😸😸)

I bought a good book for my child. As expected, Kyobo Bookstore has a lot of books… It’s the biggest bookstore in Seoul. It has everything you want.

To be honest, Kyobo Bookstore is a place where everyone can spend time and a warm place. People say that the internet is cheap. I hope they don't buy books from other sites after looking at them here. So I often visit and spend money there. There are also pretty stationery items in one corner these days. This month, there were quite a few consumer goods at Kyobo Bookstore~~

This book feels like it will be healing^^ 📚

I stopped by Kyobo to buy new books because they were books I thought I would own. Haha. There are so many good books. I'm really... happy.

I went to Kyobo Bookstore and bought Bluetooth earphones because they were cheap and pretty. They are easy to use and I think they are less dangerous because I can hear surrounding sounds. I am grateful to the employee who recommended them.

I visited Kyobo Bookstore in Gwanghwamun after a long time, and I felt good when I smelled the unique fragrance of Kyobo Bookstore.

This time, I went to buy doll goods instead of books, and I was happy that I found the doll I wanted. I also like that there are many products like this in addition to books.

Kyobo Bookstore, talk about it~~~😁👍 I bought it because it had a unique calendar. It caught my eye as a dog lover! I was happy to get a 40% discount because the new year has passed!

Everyone is friendly. It's spacious and nice. There's a lot to see.

My favorite bookstore, Kyobo Bookstore, where I lose track of time every time I visit! Of all the bookstores, I like the Gwanghwamun branch the best~~

It's a cute hand-drawn book. The staff are rude~~~

I went to all the An-guk prop shops to buy stationery and postcards, but the same stuff is cheaper here and there are more kinds. Buy it here no matter what.

If you buy stationery, you get a mini calendar. I gave it to the employee when I paid. I don't know if you can get it if you pay at the kiosk.

If you are a country mouse who loves books… you will always be drawn to Kyobo Bookstore when you come to Seoul… It is a large bookstore with a different charm from neighborhood bookstores📖 There are so many different books from various fields, and the space is also decorated richly, so it is a place that makes you happy every time you visit. I could feel that the publishing industry was happy with Professor Han Kang’s Nobel Prize win. I hope the publishing industry grows bigger and bigger and more good books come out. Oh, a place that sells high-end stationery has opened up, and it is really pretty, so you should definitely go in.

I bought some perfume and it smells so good... It's like, "Niche perfume, get out of here"

I bought a guide book before going to Portugal. There is a lot of information on the Internet, but this book is good. It has good restaurants, maps, transportation, etc. I think it will be useful.

It was nice to buy a book after a long time~ The store is big so it's nice to look around

I bought the 25-year monthly single product (6 units / 4,000 won). I was just going to buy this one~ It's annoying to go from Samsung to Gwanghwamun every year. I wish there were more places to buy it.

Easy access~~Shindanyang shopping is easy and rest is also good

It's so great that in addition to books, they also have stationery and other products you want!!!!!!!

For a book lover like me, this is a heavenly place. I wish there was a Kyobo Bookstore in my neighborhood too. 🥹Local book lovers cry. Every time I come here, I smell a nice smell and my heart feels warm~!

I bought a mouse pad from Da*so because it was so bad, so I bought one at a high price.

Inside the lucky box, there's a blank notebook, stickers, animal stickers, a ballpoint pen, a talisman keyring, and a talisman postcard. This is what it looks like. It's my first time buying it, and it's fun.

Kyobo Bookstore Gwanghwamun is Korea's representative bookstore. It has new releases, professional books, bestsellers, and even foreign books. I am so glad that Kyobo Gwanghwamun is here and I am always grateful.

Since it was vacation, I went on a bookstore date with my child.

I like it!! I feel this way every time I go there, but the store is spacious and comfortable, so I want to come here every day😵‍💫❤️

I went around Jongro and found a workbook here haha

The kids love it because you engraved the phrases as an event.

There are a lot of people on weekends, but I still like it because there are a lot of different types of books.

Books are always good to buy. Books are delicious no matter when you read them. Books are beneficial no matter when you read them. Thanks to Kyobo Bookstore, the publishing culture and the number of readers in Korea have increased, and we have finally had the joy of author Han Kang receiving the Nobel Prize in Literature. If you eat rice, your stomach will get full, but if you read books, your life will be enriched.

I like looking at books and stationery. I stop by every time I go to Gwanghwamun.

I like that there are a variety of stationery items in addition to books :)

I went to buy pens and there were so many different types, it was great👍🏻👍🏻

I looked at the book and bought a diary. There were a lot of people. I would like to ask the people in charge of the counter to be kind to me.

The epitome of offline bookstores, Kyobo Bookstore in Gwanghwamun is the best

It's not the Gwanghwamun branch, it's the Dongseong-ro branch. What's wrong?
