PPEUM GLOBAL HONGDAE is located on the 4th floor of H-Cube at 140 Yanghwa-ro, Mapo-gu, Seoul. An Apple Store can be found on the ground floor. It’s just a 1-minute walk from Exit 9 of Hongik University station on Subway Line 2. This article provides a comprehensive guide covering how to get there from the airport or subway, business hours, the layout inside the clinic, typical discount rates available on the official website, and a sample one-day itinerary that shows how to take advantage of your treatment to explore Hongdae.
Where is the PPEUM Hongdae International store? How can I get there fastest by subway or airport?
Address of PPEUM Hongdae International Branch and route from Exit 9 of Hongdae Station
📍
The address is 4th Floor, H-Cube, 140 Yanghwa-ro, Mapo-gu, Seoul. Head straight out from Exit 9 at Hongik University Station — you’ll see the Apple Store on the first floor in just 1 minute. Take the elevator up to the 4th floor of the same building to reach the clinic.
This is a mixed-use commercial complex located on the main street of Hongdae. The Apple Store on the first floor serves as a prominent landmark, so you won’t get lost even without checking the address. After exiting exit number 9, head straight down Yanghwa-ro. You’ll first see a chain drugstore on your right, and just ahead is the glass facade of the Apple Store. Once inside, take the elevator up to the 4th floor—the counter is right next to the elevator entrance.
If you’re coming from the Hongdae Entrance Station (the shared station for Line 2 and the Airport Railroad), it’s actually the same station—just with different exit numbers. When arriving via the Airport Railroad, follow the signs for “Exit 9” to get there fastest.
PPEUM Hongdae International Branch: Two Routes Starting from Incheon and Gimpo Airports
🧳
The most convenient way to get there from Incheon Airport is by Airport Bus No. 6002: get off at Seo-gyo-dong Station. The entire journey takes about 1 hour, and you’ll find the Apple Store just a 5-minute walk from the stop. This route requires no transfers, making it ideal for those with lots of luggage.
If you want to save time, take the airport rail line: it takes about 52 minutes to reach Hongik University Station directly from Incheon Airport. If you land at Gimpo Airport, the ride on the airport rail line to Hongik University Station takes just around 14 minutes. Once you exit, head straight to Exit 9 and walk for 1 minute.
- 2+ pieces of luggage: Take Bus 6002 to Xiqiaodong Station – no transfers required throughout the journey
- Entering via Gimpo Airport: Direct train from the airport in 14 minutes – the fastest overall option
- Arriving at Incheon Airport and making an afternoon appointment: the airport rail takes 52 minutes—more reliable than the bus.
- Arriving late at night: Take a taxi after the last train from the airport; the journey takes about 50 minutes
Opening hours and latest booking time for PPEUM’s Hongdae International store
🕐
It’s open until 21:00 on Mondays and Fridays, with the latest reservation time at 19:00. On Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays, and weekends, it closes at 19:00, and the latest reservation time is 17:00. Compared to the main store in Gangnam, the Hongdae branch allows reservations up to about half an hour earlier—make sure to keep this in mind when planning your visits.
The real experience is this: if you plan to “shop around first and then get the treatment,” the 17:00 cutoff at the Hongdae store can be a bit tight. On the other hand, scheduling your treatment between 10:00 and 11:00 in the morning, followed by some shopping in the afternoon after lunch, creates the most seamless flow for the whole day.
Layout, Services, and Ideal Customers for PPEUM’s Hongdae International Branch
Check-in, wardrobe change, and pink sofa area on the 4th floor of PPEUM Hongdae International Store
🏥
After exiting the elevator, head to the counter on the 4th floor to register and confirm your treatment. Then drop off your belongings, change into indoor slippers, and proceed to the lounge area — the whole process takes about 10 minutes. The lounge at the Hongdae store features rows of pink partitions, giving it the appearance of a small makeup room, so you can touch up your makeup right after your treatment.
The storage cabinet is located outside the seating area, with a password lock that can be set up by yourself. The seating table comes equipped with combs, ion clippers, cotton pads, and basic skincare products — even a hair dryer is provided for you. When I first saw this setup, I thought I must have gone to the wrong floor, but later I realized it’s much more practical for those who want to head out shopping right after their treatment, rather than having an extra waiting room.
Using the registration information from BeautsGO, the Hongdae branch has 5 estheticians, one more than the 4 at the Gangnam flagship store. As a result, even during peak weekend times, the workflow for guiding customers and changing outfits doesn’t get slowed down.
Furniture and treatment room setup at PPEUM’s Hongdae International Branch
💡
The mirror on the console table is a separate round mirror paired with a large wall mirror. The sinks are divided into two, so even if there are two groups of guests at the same time in the morning, there’s no need for waiting in line. Towels and bathrobes are stored in cabinets next to the treatment room, and the therapist will arrange them before inviting you in.
The treatment room is a private small space with the equipment permanently installed inside. It’s equipped with curtains and a door that can be closed, ensuring privacy during clothing changes so others in the hallway can’t see. The room also comes with bathrobes and storage shelves, allowing coats and bags to be hung right behind the door.
The flagship treatments and price ranges at PPEUM’s Hongdae International branch
💰
The treatments available at the Hongdae store follow the same price list as those at other branches. The main offerings include the second-generation Ulthrea, Rejuran and Juvelook glow treatments, Juvederm Filler, along with entry-level phototherapy options such as Onda microwave Lifting and Pico whitening treatments.
The table below shows the promotional prices and regular prices listed on the official Hongdae store’s event page. The exchange rate is estimated at ₩10,000 ≈ NT$225, for rough reference only.
It’s important to note that the prices listed above are taken from the official Hongdae store’s schedule for September 2026 (the promotion has already ended). The prices may change, so please refer to the official website or the BeautsGO page for current rates—don’t try to compare them using outdated prices when you go in person.
From the perspective of Taiwanese customers: an HIFU treatment of 100 shots costs around NT$6,700; 1cc of Rejuran PN is approximately NT$1,800; 1cc of Juvederm costs about NT$5,400; and a Pico treatment combined with a facial mask is around NT$650. The entry-level prices at the Hongdae branch are more affordable compared to those at the Gangnam flagship store, which is why students and budget-conscious consumers prefer the Hongdae location.
Who is PPEUM Hongdae International Store suitable for, and who isn’t?
👭
The strength of the Hongdae store lies in its “location + flow,” not its size. First, use a table to determine whether it’s suitable for you to schedule your treatments there.
The table is only for preliminary screening. Whether it’s possible to proceed and how the dosage should be determined still requires a doctor to assess the skin condition first.
How to include PPEUM Hongdae International Store in your perfect day in Hongdae
One-Day Itinerary Around the PPEUM Hongdae International Store
🧳
Hongdae is the perfect spot for a schedule of “getting medical beauty treatments in the morning and shopping in the afternoon”: Schedule your treatment for 10:00, have lunch, then head straight to the subway station after shopping—no need to take detours at all.
If you’re getting injections such as hyaluronic acid fillers or water injections, it’s totally fine to go shopping in the afternoon. But for treatments like HIFU or Thermage that use photonic energy, your face will be slightly red on the same day, so it’s recommended to switch outdoor activities to shopping malls or coffee shops, and then return to the hotel at night to apply a face mask.
How to choose between PPEUM’s Hongdae International Store, Gangnam Flagship Store, and Myeongdong Store
💡
All three locations offer the same price range, with differences lying in location and scale: the Hongdae branch stands out for its proximity—just 1 minute from the exit, along with convenient shopping routes; the Gangnam flagship store excels in size and the range of advanced equipment it offers; while the Myeongdong branch benefits from its location on Nambulmun Road, which is well-known among tourists, plus extended operating hours until 21:00.
- Living in Hongdae and wanting to do some shopping on the way? Head to the Hongdae International Store (on the 4th floor above Apple Store).
- Want to get your hair done in one go without rushing? Head to the Gangnam International flagship store (Sinnonhyeon Station, open until 21:00 on Mondays and Fridays).
- Living in Myeongdong with a itinerary centered around Namdaemun and duty-free shops: Myeongdong International Flagship Store
When budgets are similar, I take “travel time” into consideration: staying in Hongdae but heading to Gangnam means a 50-minute round trip. Having those 50 minutes to shop or relax usually results in a better experience.
How to make a reservation at PPEUM Hongdae International Branch and what to bring on the day

- First, determine your options and budget, then save screenshots of the treatments you’re interested in.
- Choose the time slot between 10:00 AM and 11:00 AM to avoid weekends in the afternoon.
- Take a screenshot after completing the reservation and save it; you can view it offline upon arrival.
- Bring your passport on the day, and arrive at the counter on the 4th floor 10 minutes early to check in
- Stop using acids 3 days before the treatment, avoid alcohol the day before, and refrain from heavy makeup on the day of the procedure
Key post-treatment care tips for PPEUM’s Hongdae International branch
⚠️
The post-procedure care for injectable treatments differs from that for photonic therapies. Make sure you know first what kind of treatment you had, so as to avoid using the wrong approach.
- Hydrating treatments, Rejuran: No heavy makeup for 24 hours, and no access to hot springs or saunas on the same day
- Filler, Botox: Avoid pressing the injection site for 4 hours, and refrain from facial massage for 1 week.
- HIFU, Thermage: Avoid high-temperature environments on the day of treatment, and enhance moisturization and sun protection throughout the week.
- Pico and whitening lasers: Avoid picking or scratching during the scabbing period, and choose a sunscreen with an SPF of 50 or higher.
- For any treatment: avoid exfoliation and acid-based treatments for one week, and return to the clinic immediately if severe redness or swelling occurs.
There are numerous pharmacies and convenience stores around the Hongdae store, making it very convenient to purchase saline solutions or repair masks. This is also an implicit advantage of scheduling treatments at Hongdae.

Q: The first floor is an Apple Store — how do I get to the clinic?
A: Take the elevator up to the 4th floor in the same building; the counter is right outside the elevator. According to the clinic’s map, the address is H-Cube, 4th Floor, No. 140 Yanghua Road, with a note saying “Please go to the 4th floor to register” (visited on 2026-11-02).
Q: Are the prices at the Hongdae store the same as those at the Gangnam flagship store?
A: Most services under the same brand come at the same price, though the dates of the promotions and certain exclusive items may vary by store. According to the official website’s promotion page, these offers apply to five stores—Gangnam, Myeongdong, Hongdae, Jeju, and Busan—with specific restrictions noted for individual items (accessed on 2026-11-02).
Q: What’s the latest time I can make a reservation?
A: The latest appointment time is 19:00 on Mondays and Fridays, and 17:00 on other days. Source: Business hours section on the BeautsGO Hongdae store page (visited on 2026-11-02).
Q: Can I go shopping or catch a flight right after the procedure?
A: For injectable treatments, you can go shopping right away, but it’s recommended to wait a day before taking a long flight. Reason: Phototherapy and injectable procedures are non-invasive treatments, and after the procedure all you need to do is protect your skin from sun exposure and keep it moisturized. However, the dry air in the cabin can hinder recovery, so it’s advised to stay for at least one night (according to the clinic’s post-procedure guidelines, accessed on November 2, 2026).
