Busan Seomyeon, a K-beauty destination for foreigners
As the number of foreign tourists visiting Busan has surpassed 3.5 million, the K-beauty business district in the Seomyeon area is also undergoing noticeable change. Not only during weekday daytime hours but also in the evening, foreign customers are coming to experience Korean-style beauty services such as makeup, hair services, and personal color analysis, while local businesses are also preparing to welcome visitors by introducing multilingual menus and promoting their services through SNS.
In particular, amid the growing trend of expanded hair, makeup, fashion, and wellness-themed events such as the 2024 Korea Beauty Festival, interest in K-pop idols is further increasing travelers' motivation to try beauty experiences. As more travelers seek to experience idol-style makeup, hair, and fashion all in one place, Seomyeon's beauty culture is establishing itself as more than just a beauty service area, but as a hub for K-culture experiences.
