Solo ramen near Seongsu Station: tom yum beef cutlet set at Menya Pomo

Menya Pomo Seongsu Branch is a ramen restaurant a 3-minute walk from Seongsu Station Exit 4 in Seongdong, Seoul, where diners pick a bone broth, Indian curry, tom yum, or tantan base. Eating alone with no wait, the writer ordered the Tom Yum Beef Cutlet Ramen SET with shin ramyeon spice level, free cilantro, cheese risotto rice, and zero-sugar cola for ₩22,000 total. Stirring the cheese risotto rice into the sour, spicy tom yum broth tasted like a trip abroad, making Menya Pomo an easy solo lunch in Seongsu.

Seoul hair salon for men's fillet cut and twin perm: HairOnDeu Gunja

HairOnDeu Gunja Station Branch is a men's-cut hair salon on the second floor near Gunja Station in Gwangjin, Seoul. A visitor growing out short hair after a hair transplant got a men's fillet cut with a twin perm at HairOnDeu Gunja Station Branch, done as a first cut, then the perm, then a finishing cut over 1 hour 30 minutes to 2 hours.
