Sizing in Korea

Sizing will also be different when shopping in Korea. We recommend researching what size you would be in Korea before going shopping. This will help limit some of the stress once you find a store you are interested in. If you are a woman over a size 12 trouser or size 8 shoe, you may find trouble finding things that fit. However, it's still worth shopping since Korea has a great deal of unisex or free-size clothes that are quite cute.

Arario Gallery & Sculpture Plaza

Including the Sculpture Plaza and two-story Arario Gallery, you'll find 3 floors of art displayed on the same block as Shinsegae Mall. Arario Gallery, located above Starbucks, is accessible via a stairway. We wouldn't recommend a stroller unless you call the gallery ahead of time and ask an attendant if they can meet you on the first floor. There is an elevator, but it's not available for public use.

The manager of the Cheonan Bus Terminal and the Cheonan Shinsagae is also the artist who owns the Arario Galleries and sculpture plaza. He also has galleries in places like Seoul and Jeju. The top floor of the Arario Gallery holds one of his private artist studios.

Family-friendly Aspects

On the 5th floor of Hall A, Shinsegae Mall, you'll find a children's and infant's lounge with diaper changing stations, high chairs, a sink, microwave, and refrigerator. Only kids' food is allowed in the room but it's perfect for parents who need to take care of their little ones' needs in private. Open from 11:00 to 20:00.

The movie theater is on the 4th floor of Hall B, next to Food Street, which is essentially a food court.

Ebony Books, found on the same block as Shinsegae Mall, includes a diverse selection of used books in English, including children's books. Excellent prices.

Art Box & Daiso, across the street, will feel like a shopping wonderland for the kids. You can't miss the large Pink Fong on the rooftop.

Parking and Parking Fees

The Shinsegae Mall has a substantial amount of parking. Additionally, a few parking garage entrances exist on different sides of the building. At times, getting in and out of the Cheonan Shinsegae Mall may be challenging during high traffic times. Allowing yourself 15 or 20 minutes to carefully may decrease the stress of visiting this busy department store and mall.

Shinsegae Mall does have parking fees. You can get discounts on parking by buying things or doing things at the mall. However, this is not a "keep your receipts" situation. Instead, you need to give your license plate when you pay for your items.

The parking discount is given at the register when you checkout. That means you will need to give the last 4 digits of your license plate number to the cashier. We recommend having a photo of your car license plate and showing that to them. It will make the process easier.
