A Korea shopping trip often centres on one big store. The Seoul Economic Daily reported on 1 November 2026 that Olive Young's 3,000-won tote bag had sold about 2.27 million units by September and had become a souvenir of the trip. Here is a way to keep the big-store haul and still leave room for something new.

Stop one: the staples

List what you already know you will reuse: a cleanser, a sunscreen, a sheet mask you have bought before. Buy those where the price and the choice are best. This is where a large chain is hard to beat.

Stop two: one new brand

Choose a single unfamiliar brand rather than five. Three easy places to start at THE CAST are a SOOYA SEOUL wash for a scented shower, a SOOYA SEOUL scent oil for a pulse-point scent, or an NBPSIS cica multi balm for dry patches.

Why only one

One new product is easy to judge. If you add five, you cannot tell which one you liked. Open the exact product page, confirm the option and quantity, and read the delivery total for your address before paying.

A note on dates

When we searched Olive Young's Korean and global stores on 29 October 2026 we found no SOOYA SEOUL listing. Availability changes, so check again on the day you shop.
