About Seoul Note
What this site is
Seoul Note is a Seoul guide for women visiting Korea from Japan and the Chinese-speaking world. We list the nail and hair salons, hanbok rentals, photo studios, cafés, restaurants and photo spots that Korean women actually go to, by area and by type.
How we choose and check places
• Bookable places are listed only after we open the booking page and confirm it is live. • Cafés, restaurants and spots are listed only when at least two independent sources (Korean news, map/restaurant sites, official sites) confirm they exist and are open. • Places confirmed closed are removed. Every page shows the date it was checked, and ratings and status are refreshed regularly. • We do not list medical clinics (dermatology, cosmetic clinics, etc.).
Advertising and affiliate links
Some "Book" buttons on this site are affiliate links (Creatrip, Trazy and others). If you book through them we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. Commissions never change what we list or how we describe it.
