Tips for a Seoul Beauty Trip!

We are delighted to welcome our fellow Patreon member Lorna to share her latest Seoul trip with her. Lorna went to Seoul primarily to try their skincare and beauty treatments, following months of extensive research! We are lucky that she's happy to come and discuss them on the podcast with us. She also took an MBC studio tour and tells us about that and her other experiences in Seoul. Join us for a virtual trip to Seoul this January!
