thank you so much you've been super helpful and i really appreciate it, now i can start planning the trip with these tips ^^
have fuuuuun!!!
ps. for staying options there's four more popular areas:
1. hongdae - my first choice because nice surroundings + convenient + nice airbnbs/hostels. cons: no hotels.
2. myeongdong - where most hotels are, can be pricier, but shopping and food is at your doorstep.
3. dongdaemun - cheap but rundown older area
4. gwanghwamun - old school korea, has traditional houses where you sleep on mats!
