It's approaching that spooky time of year. Halloween is just a few weeks away now and you might be wondering 'where can I get a Halloween costume in Korea?'. If you're a big Halloween fan then perhaps you're thinking of throwing a Halloween party but not sure if you can find decorations for it. Let's face it, it's not really a true Halloween party without the decorations is it?!
Well you'll be happy to hear that although not as popular as it is in England and more so America, Halloween is still celebrated here and you can get costumes and decorations if you know where to go.
Of course the first stop for most expats in Korea is Itaewon when you're looking for the special illusive items. In this case you will find some Halloween goodies but not a great deal. Last year there was a small shop nearby exit four. It sold a selection of costumes and Halloween accessories. I haven't yet checked if it's there again this year but I suspect it will be. It's worth checking out. However, as with most places in Itaewon selling these hard-to-come-by items, they are a little overpriced.
Now I'm going to let you in on a little secret. This is the place to go for your Halloween costume needs. It has the largest selection of Halloween related items that I have come across in Seoul to date. It's called Joy Party and it's located in Nonhyun-dong, very close to Gangnam-Gu Office Station.
