As the Hallyu continues to inspire an influx of k-pop and k-drama fans to Korea, a tourist information center was specially created to service the trendy, fashionable Gangnam-gu area.

The first floor has an information desk with employees who speak English, Japanese and Chinese. At the center visitors can book a one-day city tour, get information on Gangnam or stop for refreshments.

The second floor is full of all sorts of K-pop and kdrama fun. Sets from dramas and films are reproduced and you can borrow the accessories used by Korean stars to use as props in your own photo shoot.

A Hallyu Star Zone offers K-pop star outfits to try on. For example, you can model Psy's horse costume from the "Gangnam Style" video. After that you can sample a variety of make-up products. If you're not sure what look to go for, the K-Star "Beauty Zone" provides beauty tips from Korean stars. When your makeover is complete, you can use the zone's music video backdrops for photo background atmosphere.

And it's not just about the visuals. In collaboration with the Mnet program, "M Countdown," the Hallyu Experience Zone uses cutting edge technology to display MVs of the latest k-pop songs.

The center also has a souvenir shop and a rest area styled to look like Jang Dong-gun's living room in SBS television series "A Gentleman's Dignity." Every few months the area is changed to reflect a different Hallyu setting.

The center is located at 428 Apgujeong-dong, Gangnam-gu. To get there, take the subway line 3 to Apgujeong Station and get out at exit 6. Walk straight for a few minutes and you'll see the center on your right, past the Hyundai Department Store. The center is open daily from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. For more information, visit www.Gangnam.go.kr or call 02-3445-0111.
