This was my first time experiencing taking ID photos in Korea. The whole process was very convenient as we could speak Chinese, and they would pay attention to things that I was concerned about. The makeup and hair makeup weren't too heavy, and the photo taking was very fast. If you choose the 1-on-1 consultation, you can discuss what you want to be retouched. For guys, I think you can choose the most basic old-fashioned option, which still allows for photo retouching, but there won't be a 1-on-1 retouching option.
The location is in an alley, so it's very quiet, allowing you to choose your glasses properly. The staff is also very attentive; although he doesn't speak Chinese, we used a translator to communicate, and we were able to get our glasses fitted smoothly. The price was really reasonable, highly recommended.
It's right in front of Exit 9 of the station, so you don't get wet in the rain, which is very convenient. The front desk is on the 9th floor and has a calm interior with a black base. I arrived earlier than the check-in time, so I just wanted to leave my luggage, but they said I could check in early if I wrote a review, so I agreed. I was able to check in without any problems. The room was clean, there were no smells in the bathroom or room, and I had a comfortable stay. Stylish hotels often have dim lighting, but this one was bright, and there was lighting where I needed it, which was very convenient. The room cleaning was also quick, and I was surprised that it was finished when I came back after going out for a bit before heading out properly! (At some foreign-owned hotels, the cleaning is not finished even in the evening, so I was able to rest when I wanted to...) I wanted to go out and about during my short stay, but this hotel was so comfortable that I wanted to spend my time relaxing in the room (lol).
