South Korean: Laneige @ Duty-Free Dongdaemun.
DONGDAEMUN @ 15th January 2010
The next day, I decided to head over to Dongdaemun, which was about 15 mins walk from where I was boarding at Sinseol-Dong. So on a wintery cold frosty morning, I took a walk down to Dongdaemun. It was just one way straight from Seoul Backpackers, and I had to cross a few streets.
The ARITAUM shop is next to DOOTA! mall, and next to it was Skin Food, Etude House, and Innis Free.

DONGDAEMUN HAUL:
White Plus Renew Apple Zone Mask. (65,000 Won).
Hydra Solution Trial Kit, (in place of tax returns!)
samples of Strawberry Yogurt Mask,
Water Sleeping Mask (80ml)

Water Sleeping Mask (80ml)
This came in a set at the shop in Dongdaemun I went to. The Eye Mask was not for sale, so instead of getting the Day & Night Eye Cream separately, I bought it in a set, which was cheaper. It was lucky I bought it there, as at the Incheon Airport, there was no such special deal!! Lucky Me!!
The SA in this shop in Dongdaemun spoke Mandarin. Granted, most touristy shops will be allocated bilingual or foreign staffed SAs, as it is more frequented by travellers.
As the title of this entry suggests, this shop in Dongdaemun is supposed to be duty-free. However, for some strange reason, the SA told me that it did not apply here. How much was the tax-returns? 8,000won. So instead of returning the tax free, I believe she must have spoken to the Manager, who told her to load me with more samples instead.
She gave me two of the Hydra Solution Test Kits, which my search on the internet sourced that it costs about RM25, or about 8,000won per test kit. Umm... okay.. if that is what it says..

actually 100won is equal to how much in RM??
1,000 KRW = RM3.00
You do the math.
The connection is a bit slow, so pictures may take a while.
Sometimes the tax return is done on the spot, but sometimes you'd have to take the receipt (and some procedures) and get your tax returns at the Incheon Airport.
It depends on the shop, as well as the location.
Best Regards!
