I visited with my husband as a drive date from Seoul, pairing Second Traders with a café by Gisan Reservoir, and paid with the store's two options — 9,800 won per item or as much as fits in a bag for 69,000 won — going home with a Uniqlo jacket and an autumn-pattern skirt. Second Traders is the largest and most comfortable vintage store I have been to, so I plan to stop by every time I travel to Yangju. ## Good to know - **Address**: 457-16 Gisan-ro, Baekseok-eup, Yangju-si, Gyeonggi-do (large white building) - **Hours**: 11:00 AM – 6:00 PM - **Price**: 9,800 won per item / 69,000 won for as much as fits in a bag - **How it runs**: Unstaffed store, pay at the kiosk by the entrance - **Parking**: Parking spaces right in front of the store - **Facilities**: Shopping carts, fitting area near the entrance - **Price reference**: ₩9,800 ≈ $7.2 · ₩69,000 ≈ $51 (2026-09-26) *as written by the visitor on Aug 20, 2026* ![Main image of Second Traders vintage shop in Yangju](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangju-gisan-vintage-drive-date-shopping/yangju-gisan-vintage-drive-date-shopping-01-6yacu-m-1200.webp) My husband and I went on a drive date to Yangju :) There's a café I love near Gisan Reservoir, so I was looking for somewhere to pair it with, and Second Traders immediately caught my eye. Here's my vintage shopping review! ## How to get to Second Traders in Yangju, and opening hours ![Exterior of the white Second Traders building and parking space on Gisan-ro](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangju-gisan-vintage-drive-date-shopping/yangju-gisan-vintage-drive-date-shopping-02-kd8sz-900.webp) Just search Second Traders (457-16 Gisan-ro) on your map app, and there's a well-arranged parking space right in front. Business hours are 11 AM to 6 PM. Since it's open during daytime hours, it's a great drive-date course to visit any day of the week. Gisan Reservoir, cafés, and several restaurants are all nearby, so I highly recommend pairing them together! ## How the unstaffed store works: 9,800 won per item or 69,000 won a bag ![Entrance of the unmanned Second Traders store](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangju-gisan-vintage-drive-date-shopping/yangju-gisan-vintage-drive-date-shopping-03-tu268-900.webp) Second Traders is unmanned, but the system is really simple. ![Sign explaining the ₩9,800 flat-price option](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangju-gisan-vintage-drive-date-shopping/yangju-gisan-vintage-drive-date-shopping-04-n3tlg-900.webp) ![Sign explaining the ₩69,000 fill-a-bag option](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangju-gisan-vintage-drive-date-shopping/yangju-gisan-vintage-drive-date-shopping-05-1vltt-900.webp) Option one — every item is ₩9,800. Option two — fill a bag with as much as you want for ₩69,000. Take a look around, see how many pieces you love, then pick whichever option works best, haha. ![Shopping carts provided at the store](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangju-gisan-vintage-drive-date-shopping/yangju-gisan-vintage-drive-date-shopping-06-117ov-900.webp) They also had shopping carts on hand for carrying your clothes around, which made shopping comfortable in every way. ## Second Traders vs. vintage shops in Seoul: bigger and more comfortable I've recently gotten into vintage clothing (partly out of environmental concerns!) and have been visiting Seoul vintage shops one by one, in Mangwon-dong, Seongsu-dong, and so on. But probably because of rent, a lot of those places felt cramped. Second Traders in Yangju though — haha, seriously, this was the biggest, most spacious, most comfortable vintage shop I've seen so far! Yay. ![Interior of the spacious warehouse-style vintage store](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangju-gisan-vintage-drive-date-shopping/yangju-gisan-vintage-drive-date-shopping-07-1x0vl-900.webp) ![Vintage clothing racks organized by color](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangju-gisan-vintage-drive-date-shopping/yangju-gisan-vintage-drive-date-shopping-08-hhi5f-900.webp) ![Rows of clothing racks at Second Traders](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangju-gisan-vintage-drive-date-shopping/yangju-gisan-vintage-drive-date-shopping-09-14xov-900.webp) Everything's neatly organized by color, so it's easy to pick according to your taste. My husband and I browsed around happily and found clothes we really liked and grabbed them. Let me show you one by one :) ## What we bought: a sweatshirt for my husband, a Uniqlo jacket and an autumn skirt ![Fitting area near the entrance](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangju-gisan-vintage-drive-date-shopping/yangju-gisan-vintage-drive-date-shopping-10-ke41w-900.webp) There's a fitting area near the entrance, so you can try things on and just hang whatever you don't want back on the rack right there! ![Elastic-waist pants chosen from the men's section](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangju-gisan-vintage-drive-date-shopping/yangju-gisan-vintage-drive-date-shopping-11-1vm5m-900.webp) ![A vintage sweatshirt good for fall](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangju-gisan-vintage-drive-date-shopping/yangju-gisan-vintage-drive-date-shopping-12-r0nkt-900.webp) ![Looking over the clothes the husband picked out](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangju-gisan-vintage-drive-date-shopping/yangju-gisan-vintage-drive-date-shopping-13-1ecmo-900.webp) My husband found comfortable pants with an elastic waistband and a sweatshirt that's perfect for fall. The clothes hanging there were in good condition, so if you try on a bunch you'll definitely find something you like haha. It did feel like there were more women's clothes, but there's plenty for men to buy too!! ![Trying on a skirt that hits above the knee](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangju-gisan-vintage-drive-date-shopping/yangju-gisan-vintage-drive-date-shopping-14-2kw4w-m-900.webp) I tried on a bunch of things myself, including a skirt that hit just above the knee — (pretty, but the waist didn't quite fit, so I passed). ![Medium-size vintage Uniqlo outer jacket](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangju-gisan-vintage-drive-date-shopping/yangju-gisan-vintage-drive-date-shopping-15-10uur-900.webp) There was a one-size Uniqlo outer jacket, medium size, and when I tried it on it fit me perfectly...? I silently screamed 'I have to buy this.' No discoloration, no fraying, no flaws — finding a quality piece like that felt amazing, ㅠㅠ! (Gave myself another reason to come back, haha.) ![A skirt passed over due to an unsatisfying zipper detail](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangju-gisan-vintage-drive-date-shopping/yangju-gisan-vintage-drive-date-shopping-16-qmtm1-m-900.webp) I went back and forth on this skirt, but ended up passing because I wasn't quite happy with the zipper detail. The length and the sturdy fabric were both great though. Hahaha. ![The ₩9,800 skirt with a fall pattern that won her over](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangju-gisan-vintage-drive-date-shopping/yangju-gisan-vintage-drive-date-shopping-17-157ps-900.webp) My final pick was this skirt! Summer's about to wind down, and this one had a pattern that goes so well with fall and just the right thickness — perfect timing to buy it :) The waist, the pleats, the pattern all worked for me, and being able to get it for ₩9,800 made it even better ^.^ ![Unmanned payment kiosk at the entrance](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangju-gisan-vintage-drive-date-shopping/yangju-gisan-vintage-drive-date-shopping-18-1adw8-900.webp) You can pay easily and unmanned at the kiosk by the entrance. Like us, you can buy items at ₩9,800 each, or fill a bag with as much as you want for ₩69,000 — happy dilemma to have! ## Why Second Traders fits a Yangju day trip from Seoul Second Traders :) — a place where I got to grab clothes I loved on a day-trip drive to Yangju. It's right next to Gisan Reservoir, so I highly recommend it as a spot to pair with a date. I already used to visit Gisan Reservoir and Yangju often, so I'll definitely be coming back to Second Traders. ## Where it is - Second Traders (세컨트레이더스) - 457-16 Gisan-ro, Baekseok-eup, Yangju-si, Gyeonggi-do, South Korea (large white building) - 경기도 양주시 백석읍 기산로 457-16 흰색 대형 건물 - 37.776758, 126.9403062 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EC%84%B8%EC%BB%A8%ED%8A%B8%EB%A0%88%EC%9D%B4%EB%8D%94%EC%8A%A4/@37.776758,126.9403062,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@gangwon-notes/yangju-gisan-vintage-drive-date-shopping/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
