Day eight felt like a pretty simple day but still had interesting and new sites for us to see. We all got up and took the subway to a place known as Hallyu K-Star Road. It was a long street that was lined up with statues of cartoon bears that had designs inspired by Kpop stars and idols. It felt very immersive in including the constantly growing global sensation that is Kpop. Once we saw all the bears, we took a bus to COEX. Right before we stepped into the COEX mall, we saw a big statue of two hands in the very popular Gangnam Style dance move. Again, it felt very cool to see something Kpop related be remembered with a captivating landmark. After we took pictures of in front of the statue, we all entered the mall and were then given free time. I spent most of it just wandering around and the mall itself felt like a giant maze. I didn't want to spend too much but spent a little on arcade games. For lunch, I had KFC which was surprisingly very busy and packed with many people. Overall, the mall had a nice atmosphere with a cool library in the middle which I have seen all over social media and I am glad that I finally got to see it in person. We then left to go back to the hotel and after resting, I went out to dinner. I had dinner at 1993 which is a restaurant that was across from our hotel. I had pizza and fried dumplings and they were very good and filling. Overall, it was a fun but also chill kind of day.
