Olive Young Central Myeongdong Town

올리브영 센트럴 명동 타운

Why it's hot

Opened in March 2026 as Olive Young's second-largest store, it has the chain's widest range and a huge sheet-mask wall, and it quickly became a fixture in Myeongdong K-beauty haul posts.

Myeongdong already had several Olive Young branches, but the Central Myeongdong Town store that opened on 26 March 2026 is built for international shoppers. Spread across about 950 pyeong (roughly 3,100 square metres) from the basement to the third floor of the M Plaza building, it is the second-largest Olive Young in Korea after N Seongsu and carries the biggest selection in the chain: around 1,000 brands and 15,000 products. The standout is the Mask Library, with some 800 sheet, modelling and bubble masks sorted by skin type and function. Sunscreens have extra testers, and there are separate zones for beauty devices, dermocosmetics and Korean snacks. Twenty-two staffed checkouts keep lines moving, and signage and staff help come in English, Chinese and Japanese. If you only have time for one big K-beauty run in Seoul, this is the store with the most to compare in one place. The older Myeongdong Town flagship on Myeongdong-gil is about 200 metres away if you cannot find something.

Tips for visitors tip!

  • Bring your physical passport for the instant tax refund at the register (one receipt of 15,000 won or more).
  • Don't confuse it with Olive Young Myeongdong Town at 53 Myeongdong-gil; search the full name in Naver Map.
  • Help is offered in English, Chinese and Japanese, so ask staff if you are hunting for a specific product.
  • Check if the quarterly Olive Young Sale is on during your trip; prices drop across the chain.
