Why it's hot
Foreign-visitor sales jumped about 33% in May 2026 and the mall hit its best month in 17 years, helped by K-fashion stores and a nonstop run of atrium pop-ups.
Times Square, opened in 2009, is the big all-in-one mall of southwest Seoul: roughly 200 brands under one roof, linked to the Shinsegae department store, a CGV multiplex, an E-mart hypermarket, Kyobo Books and the Courtyard Marriott hotel. The heart of the building is the glass, drum-shaped atrium on the first floor, where a round stage hosts free live performances and pop-ups built around idols and character brands; more pop-ups fill the B1 New Wave zone. Shoppers from abroad tend to head for Korean and global fashion labels such as 8 Seconds, Marithé François Girbaud, MLB, Onitsuka Tiger, Musinsa Standard, COS and Arket, plus Olive Young for beauty. The E-mart is a popular stop for Korean snacks, ramyeon and groceries to take home. For food there are Din Tai Fung, Shake Shack, Sushiro and dessert counters like Teddy Beurre House. It is a practical rainy-day stop, and it pairs well with Mullae Arts Village, which is one subway stop or a short taxi ride away.
Tips for visitors tip!
- From Yeongdeungpo Station, follow signs through the underground shopping passage to stay indoors; the underground route can be closed before the mall opens.
- The E-mart inside is open later than the fashion floors, so leave grocery and snack shopping for the end of the day.
- Check @timessquare.mall for this week's atrium pop-up or free show; weekends are the busiest.
- Bring your passport for tax refunds at participating stores.
