In a statement released, Apple said: "Apple Myeongdong. See you soon. The largest Apple Store in Korea is coming soon to the heart of Myeong-dong, where people from all over the world continue to visit, in the heart of splendid Seoul.
Through this store, we aim to provide a source of inspiration that is open to all, where imagination and creativity are constantly springing up."
The smartphone creators also hope that the new store will allow customers to "communicate" and "inspire" them in the new location.
The statement continued: "Apple Myeong-dong, a place where you and us can communicate and inspire each other. A place that will shine brightly with everyone’s sparkling ideas awaits you."
The announcement marks the first of two new stores set to open in the South Korean capital, following an initial announcement from the company back in February 2022.

For those not keeping track at home, that makes two brand new stores coming to Seoul in the near future. Positions for a different store near the city center opened last July.These new locations will reach new heights in architecture and double Apple’s store count in South Korea.
