Seoul Vinyl

As demonstrated by the number of LP cafés and stores like Hyundai Library, Golmok Vinyl & Pub, Gopchang-jeongol and Man-pyeong opening up around Seoul’s hot spots, you can see that more and more people are seeking out the original LP sound. Seoul Vinyl, which just opened up on Nov 6 in Haebangchon, is the second record store to sell international vintage LPs. They are especially known to play a lot of urban genres like hip-hop, R&B, soul, disco and funk. Seeing the 3,000 LP records lined up neatly on a shelf next to huge posters of N.W.A. and Earth, Wind & Fire gives you the itch to take one home with you. Special DJs come and spin throughout the week, but during the weekdays, you even have the chance to request songs.
