This is the sign right outside the store. The store has so many electronic trinkets and a variety of cool things that are really hard to find in Korea. It is basically Korea's Bestbuy or Fry's.
When you walk in, to the right you will see the apple section. It is like a mini apple store in that section. Every kind of more recent apple product can be found there. It is stylized almost as a Bestbuy. They even have thir blue shirts sitting at a desk waiting to start up your newly purchased phone and everything.
This is the camera related section to the left after you walk in. All types of cameras and accessories are located here along with tripods and go-pro accessories. They even have ready to use examples (for everything except the Polaroids which have been disabled).
Here is their collection of instax cameras. Some of these were actually cheaper here than in Yongsan or online. There were only a few basic varieties of film however but there were still some pretty cool things in this area that are hard to find in Seoul.
This area is located in the back where the video games, action figures, computer parts and other miscellaneous electronics can be found. To the left on this picture is an area where you can play with robotic toys. It was pretty fun and cool seeing all the different themed keyboards and computer mouses.
This is the android section. It is located to the right of the cameras. At this time they were displaying the latest phones in the android lineup (Sony Xperia XZ). Near this area was also the windows surface display and other microsoft releases.
There is a part near the apple products that i thought was kind of funny. It is a clothing section. Electromart is bigger than it looks and had a clothing section. To the other side of this was bicycles and their accessories, power tools, kitchen appliances and widescreen tvs. However, I did not get any pictures of that due to my phone dying before I could walk over there. However, I can say that they had a lot to pick from in every one of those sections and at least one blue shirt in those areas ready to help (only if it was something within their section though).
This was a cool display of a bulldog with a VR headset right outside the apple section in the store.
Finally, tucked away in a corner that i accidentally stumbled upon was the RC section. All kinds of RC toys were here. However, they were really expensive. Everything in the store had a price tag except the RC section (except for one small toy car going for $800). I was able to play with RC monster trucks if I wanted to but I didn't want to accientally trip and fall on anything like I always seem to do...So to save money, I decided to not touch it and save myself from paying $1,000+ on that.
Electromart was really cool. It had a little something for every part of your home and was fun to play in. It was like a costco for electronics (sampling tables everywhere). Personally I went in to preorder Pokemon Moon coming out in November. This is the only store in Seoul by the way that will do video game preorders and has every popular and more recent video game for every console in the market. Preordering does require you to pay everything up front but the price is discounted and comes out cheaper overall than buying it after its release. I highly recommend shopping here for your electronic needs. It is on the first floor between Shinsaege mall and the time square mall right next to EMart.
And to get to this mall take Heukseok to Noryanjin (going towards Gaehwa), transfer to line 1 to 영등포 (Youngdeungpo) (going in the direction of Incheon). The subway in there also has a really big mall with a produce section and everything leading up all the way to Time Square mall entrance. Time Square mall also has a new year's eve celebration and holds various mini kpop concerts throughout the year.
