Olive Young Day is a 3-day mini sale held every month from the 25th to the 27th. Look for “special price” tags on the shelves.

🛍️ In-Store vs Online: Which Is Better for Visitors?

In-store is the easiest option for travelers. Sale prices apply at most Olive Young stores in Korea, and you can take items home right away.
The Olive Young app often has extra coupons and time deals, but signing up may require a Korean phone number.
Olive Young Global Mall ships overseas and runs its own sales at the same time, so you can keep shopping after you fly home.

Best stores for foreign visitors:

Myeongdong: several large stores, with staff used to helping tourists
Seongsu: Olive Young N Seongsu, the brand’s large concept store
Hongdae & Gangnam: easy to combine with other shopping and cafés
