Young Poong Bookstore
This store is similar to the others, but slightly harder to navigate.
Young Poong bookstore has an extensive English-language magazine section on floor B1. Although pricey, this is probably the best selection of magazines in Seoul. People magazine goes for 10,000 won, Cosmopolitan for 16,000 won and Rolling Stone is 20,000 won. If you just want to get your hands on some glossy reading material in English, the store sells old magazines for half price.
The foreign book section is on floor B2. In section F1, there is a wide selection on Korean literature, culture and history. Section H2 has foreign books on a little of everything, but the selection seems more geared toward Koreans learning English rather than for expats.
Schlotzky's Deli and Starbucks are also on floor B2.
How to get there:
Young Poong is in the brown building on the kitty corner across from Jongno Tower. It can also be accessed from Jonggak Station (Subway Line No. 1) before the stairs for Exit No. 6. The entrance from the subway station takes you into the B1 floor.
