Korean facial cleanser pick at KHODE, a Pangyo dermo-cosmetics shop

Where KHODE Pangyo is, and what opening day felt like

KHODE Pangyo is on the basement floor of Hyundai Department Store Pangyo, across from Texas Roadhouse and the event hall. It's open from 10:30 to 20:00. And of course — opening day! Amazing! This is what you'd call an "opening run," right? I went without even knowing exactly where the store was, and it was already the most crowded spot on B1. Still, if this is your first visit, it's directly across from Texas Roadhouse and the event hall, so just go go 👍👍

I went to check out the hip, hot, buzzing opening popup at KHODE Pangyo inside Hyundai Department Store Pangyo. 20 Pangyoyeok-ro 146beon-gil, Bundang-gu, Seongnam-si, Gyeonggi-do, B1, open 10:00–20:00 (opening at 10:30).

250 brands under one roof: what I came to KHODE for

KHODE is already famous — a high-sensibility dermo-cosmetics platform Hyundai Department Store is presenting with more than 250 well-vetted brands and products. The launch scene, wow 😍😍😍

From brand staff to influencers to regular customers — how could you not do an opening run? I'm sharing the scene, packed with all kinds of event giveaways. ✌️✌️✌️ Already so upscale, exactly what you'd expect from a department store brand. What I've been most worried about and paying attention to this changing season is cleansing products — I really needed one, so I went in searching. 👋👋 I used to hate oily textures, but now that I'm in my 40s, they've become so precious, so necessary 🙏🙏 I'd strongly recommend an oil cleanser to everyone — and URANG would be even better.

The URANG corner that stopped me

Among all those enormous sections and products, URANG 💕 really caught my eye and attention. From the product's exterior design alone, it felt like a different kind of natural cleansing oil.

My biggest standard when choosing a product is that it be wellness-minded and pure organic, without overdoing scent or irritation — I have my own principles when choosing. Premium organic skincare, URANG.

Right after I bought mine, it sold out — there was nothing left on the shelf marked SOLDOUT. They'll restock soon, I'm sure. Haha, over the top!!

Testing URANG Natural Cleansing Oil at the in-store sink

URANG Natural Cleansing Oil could be tested right there at a sink set up inside KHODE Pangyo. A proper product check, one more time. Scent and feel — verified on the spot!! ❤️❤️

What kind of brand is URANG?

URANG, apparently, was started by a founder who is both an aromatherapist and a mother, built on deep love and sincerity for organic ingredients. Based on products she made herself in her own kitchen and workshop and shared with people close to her, she carried that same spirit into founding the brand "URANG" — meaning organic love.

I was already won over right there! ❤️

URANG has established itself as a global organic skincare brand, reaching 19 countries including across Europe and the US, and is now adding weight to K-beauty's standing here in Korea. Between the brand story and the product itself, I'm personally so satisfied!! So happy!!

Why an oil cleanser works for dry, seasonal skin

I didn't know this before, but now that I'm in my 40s, especially during the dry in-between seasons, an oil cleanser is absolutely necessary. Good oil products can still feel like they're pushing against your skin, and if you're sensitive, breakouts can really hit hard...

URANG is an organic natural oil product, so I think you can trust and use it with confidence. It felt so good using it right there at the store's sink that I have to dare recommend it.

I have a feeling KHODE Pangyo will sell out.

Using the URANG cleansing oil at home

Now it's moved into my own bathroom! Confidently doing a perfectly moisturized changing-season cleanse. There's a certain joy in using something new right away, isn't there? Recognized in 19 countries, already a global star — that adds a little extra excitement as a bonus. Here's to moisturized autumn skin care, let's do it together.
