Starfield Library: Seoul’s Towering Temple of Books
Ever wondered what happens when a shopping mall says, “Let’s make a library, but bigger, taller, and way cooler”? Welcome to Starfield Library at COEX Mall, Seoul! These HUGE shelves reach 13 meters up (seriously, no ladder is that long), packed with over 50,000 books and 600 magazines. Don’t expect to borrow, just sit, chill, and pretend to read while secretly people-watching. There’s always some event: poetry, music, or that guy loudly telling his friend every fact he’s read. All this, totally free and open to everyone. It’s probably the only place where adults whisper, take selfies, and look up pretending they can read the books way at the top. A must-see for book lovers and Instagram fans.
