Hello, this is Darae! (∗´ര ᎑ ര`∗)

I heard that a huge 800-pyeong (approximately 28,444 sq ft) Daiso has opened in Gumi. My husband kept wanting to go, so we decided to visit it while we were out.

???? Daiso Emart Donggumi Branch ????

Address: 2nd Floor, 23 Igyebok-ro, Gumi-si

Operating Hours: 10:00 ~ 22:00

Closed every 2nd and 4th Wednesday of the month

Parking available (1 hour free for purchases over 10,000 won)

We arrived around 5:30 PM! We were worried it would be too crowded, but there were plenty of parking spaces and it was quite relaxed.

Enter through the entrance on the 1st floor, and the store is on the 2nd floor.

There's a restroom right at the entrance of the store, so I went there first since I knew we'd be looking around for a while (๑'ᵕ'๑)⸝*

You can't bring Emart shopping carts into the Daiso at Emart Donggumi, so if you've already been grocery shopping, you'll need to leave your cart outside.

If you're planning on doing both grocery shopping and visiting Daiso, it's best to go to Daiso first!

If you're only visiting Daiso, you don't need to bring an Emart cart from the 1st floor ๑•‿•๑

Since I'm still a beginner blogger, I forgot to take a picture of the Daiso right when we arrived and took it after we paid and came out, haha.


As soon as you go up to the 2nd floor on the escalator, you'll see Daiso right away, so no need to worry!

On the left as you enter, there are Daiso shopping baskets of all kinds, so grab one that you need › ᴗ ‹⋆

Once you enter, it's really huge... My husband and I wanted to see everything, so we started browsing from the very beginning. There's a wide variety of cosmetics-related products when you walk in, it almost felt like I was in Olive Young...

Is this really Daiso? (๑╹ᆺ╹)

Happy moment

I've been looking at hair essences since my hair has been damaged lately, and I found a no-wash treatment, so I bought it for 5,000 won!

After passing the cosmetics corner, they also sold a variety of stationery, so I bought two sheets of stickers to decorate my ultrasound photos ㅎㅎ

Happy moment

And then, there was the jelly and snack corner that stopped us in our tracks for a while... There were so many delicious-looking things, it was the category we bought the most from (๑>ᴗ<๑)

There are so many different kinds, I can't capture them all in the pictures! Further inside, there's a long kitchenware corner. I bought a kimchi container to put ribs in for the holidays!

Spectacular scene

The kimchi containers were different sizes but the same price, so I bought the biggest one.

I put all the items I bought in there and carried it around, which was really convenient ✪‿✪

If you're planning on buying a kimchi container, keep this in mind!

Interesting image

We bought 11 items and paid directly at the self-checkout corner.

We also got an error alarm, and it was going off everywhere, but the staff were there to quickly resolve it ◝(⁰▿⁰)◜

Special moment

We looked around for about an hour, and we needed the receipt to pay for parking!

When you get the receipt like this, you need the barcode at the bottom!

Make sure to bring it with you, and next to it, you can see the kimchi container we packed everything into ㅎㅎ

After you finish buying items at Daiso and come out, there's a parking kiosk!

Warm memory

There's one at the main entrance on the 1st floor, but we paid at this one ㅎㅎ

If there are a lot of people, it might be better to use the main entrance on the 1st floor.

When you touch the screen, you'll need to enter your car number.

After you enter your car number, this screen will appear! We were there for exactly an hour, it seems.

Impressive appearance

We looked around quickly at the end, but it takes this long to see everything ㅎㅎ

If you didn't buy 10,000 won worth of items, you'd have to pay 6,000 won •̆ . •̆

You need to scan the barcode for payment.

You need to put it in the Emart receipt slot below!

Interesting image

When I tried, it kept giving me an error ㅠㅠ

It kept giving me an error because it seemed to be reading both at the same time.

My husband folded the perforated line and inserted only the barcode at the very bottom.

Precious memory

It was paid in 1 second... ^^

If it doesn't work well, try folding the paper like we did!

Bright future

The receipt was printed, and it was automatically paid ㅎㅎ

Special moment

You have 30 minutes, so finish up and exit!

That was my review of Daiso at Emart Donggumi ◡( ╹◡╹ )◡

Fantastic scene

Real Korea, Curated for Global Travelers

WassupKorea is a next-generation platform designed for foreigners who want to truly experience Korea — not just as tourists, but as locals. While countless Koreans have shared their daily lives, food experiences, and cultural tips through blogs, videos, and social media, much of this valuable content remains locked behind language barriers. WassupKorea solves this by collecting and curating high-quality local content and making it accessible to global audiences through real-time AI-powered translation. Instead of superficial recommendations, users gain access to authentic, first-hand stories — from hidden street food spots to weekend mountain hikes — written by Koreans for Koreans, now reinterpreted for the world.

AI-Powered Personalization, Translation, and Voice Interaction

What sets WassupKorea apart is its deep integration of artificial intelligence at the core of the platform. AI matches users with personalized content based on their language, nationality, and travel interests. Whether you're looking for vegan Korean food in Jeonju or part-time job tips in Seoul, the platform's smart engine brings the most relevant, timely posts to the forefront. Every piece of content — blog summaries, local guides, user comments — is instantly translated using advanced AI translators. Users can also listen to posts via natural-sounding voice AI in their own language. Real-time voice translation in community chats allows for live conversations between users from different countries. With voice synthesis, AI can even "learn" your voice preferences to create a more natural and immersive experience.

A Living Community Driven by Local Content and Global Connection

WassupKorea is more than just an information portal — it’s an AI-driven community hub that grows smarter as users interact. Travelers and residents alike can share their own content via links from TikTok, Instagram, or YouTube, or directly post on the platform. AI categorizes the content, suggests similar posts, and connects users with shared interests. Foreigners living in Korea can also access essential resources like visa tips, rental guides, job listings, and lifestyle hacks. As more content is generated and more interactions occur, the AI refines its recommendations — creating a dynamic feedback loop that benefits every user. WassupKorea bridges the gap between Korea’s deep local knowledge and the global audience eager to explore it, forming a smart, multilingual, and inclusive platform for everyone curious about life in Korea.
