The new Olive Young store in Myeongdong, which opened on November 1, 2023, caters to the global fascination with K-Beauty. The OLIVE YOUNG MYEONGDONG GLOBAL STORE, known as Korea’s first store specifically designed for international customers, leads the way in global retail. It’s a unique mix of online and offline shopping experiences focusing on global shoppers. About 90% of its visitors are from overseas, averaging 3,000 daily. The store has enhanced its services to offer support in English, Chinese, and Japanese, and displays all product labels in English.

As soon as you walk in, “K-Beauty Now Zone” greets you, showcasing popular products among international customers and top picks from Olive Young. This makes it easy to find the latest trends in K-Beauty. The store also boasts a “Global Service Lounge” where visitors can enjoy free Wi-Fi, welcome gifts, and discount coupons. A Tax-Free desk operates from 10:00 to 22:30 for added convenience. Plus, customers can benefit from an “Immediate Tax Refund” service at the checkout, making shopping even more appealing.

The Tax-Free system offers two options for shoppers: buying items at tax-free prices right away in designated stores or paying the full amount and getting a tax refund later. This benefit is for foreign tourists who have been in the country for under six months and overseas Koreans who’ve lived abroad for over two years but have been in Korea for less than three months.

Shoppers have the option to choose either a standard tax refund, where they pay the full price and receive a refund at the airport or city refund counters, or an immediate refund, which applies the tax-free price directly at the point of purchase. An immediate refund is more convenient as it skips the need to visit a refund center. This option requires stores to have a computer system that sends buyer details directly to the Korea Customs Service.

OLIVE YOUNG MYEONGDONG GLOBALSTORE provides both types of tax refunds. Over 200 Olive Young stores offer this service, and it’s expected to grow. Shopping at OLIVE YOUNG MYEONGDONG GLOBALSTORE means enjoying tax-free K-Beauty shopping easily and joyfully.

How to receive an immediate tax refund

  1. Enjoy K-Beauty shopping at OLIVE YOUNG MYEONGDONG GLOBALSTORE.
  2. Present your passport during checkout.
  3. Make payment at the tax-free price and receive a “tax completion” stamp on the receipt.
  4. Enjoy the rest of your trip without any additional procedures, and return home.
