The Starfield Library inside COEX Mall in Gangnam is a nice spot to take a break during your shopping. It’s an open, spacious area with big bookshelves, and it feels a lot quieter than I expected for a place inside a shopping mall. I loved the natural light coming through the windows, and it was the perfect place to sit for a while with a book or just take in the calm vibe.

The library is pretty big, so it’s not too hard to find a seat, and if you come early or later in the evening, it’s even quieter. That’s something I’d definitely recommend if you want to escape the crowds.

If you're in the area, I think it's a nice place to check out. You can do some shopping, grab a coffee, relax for a bit, and take some photos. It’s a good spot to recharge, especially if you’re looking for a break from the city’s busier places. If you come early or pretty late, there might not be many people around.
