Where do you buy stationary? Do you need toys for your kids, nieces, and nephews? Do you want to buy party goods?
Welcome to the wholesale stationary market!
You will love it, I fell in love this street. And I took my foreign friends there. They love the place.
It is located in Dongdaemun, in a dirty hole of a neighborhood. Don’t let the appearance turn you away. The deals inside are worth the inconvenience of a lackluster atmosphere and the occasional crammed cluster of shelves.
Get off at Dongdaemun Station (Line 1-4 transfer station and also quite dirty) and head out Exit 4. You will see a sign that says ”독일약국” (Dogilyagkuk, it is a pharmacy, literally translated as “Germany Pharmacy”, with an orange-colored sign). Turn on to the right street and you will see a HUGE stretch of stationary, toys, and party goods.
The prices here are 20-30% cheaper than normal when you use your card, and up to 50% if you use cash.
A few recommendations would be Lego (30% off), Tape cutter/dispensers (my mother-in-law thought this was cool) or toy pens. Also a wide selection of toys and party favors are here. Hit this place up before next Halloween or any costume party.
As far as Korean standards go, they close fairly early. Make sure to go before 6. Also, they are closed on holidays and Sundays.

I recommend you go there when you have plenty of time. There are so many shops, you’ll need time to explore!
