Starfield Library in Seoul

Starfield Library is a highly popular spot in Seoul, South Korea. This dreamy library has been featured in many Korean dramas, making it a pilgrimage site for K-drama fans. Located within the Coex Mall in Seoul, the library is very conveniently situated. You can easily reach it by taking the subway to Samseong Station and following the signs. Upon entering the library, you'll be amazed by the towering bookshelves and the high ceilings. The natural light pouring in from the ceiling creates a beautiful scene. Immersed in the world of books, you can occasionally look up to admire the interior, and you'll be captivated by the grandeur and atmosphere of the place. The light through the ceiling changes with time, making both day and night equally charming and perfect for photos. When I visited during the day, even though the books were in Korean and I couldn't read them, I felt the warm atmosphere of everyone reading under the sunlight. 📍Starfield Library Address: Starfield COEX Mall, Samseong-dong, Gangnam-gu, Seoul, South Korea

Their bookshelves are massive and this is the attraction at Starfield library. You also can study here without getting chased away by the security.
