    As I've mentioned in various places, the prices for apparel and racquets are basically the same online as in physical shops. That means that unless you have a gym nearby (which usually means a local shop, too, though usually with more selection in racquets than clothing), your best bet is to check prices on the two main online sellers, and then visit their physical shops if you're still interested. See details here.

    The Badminton Mart store is here. If you change to the map view, you should be able to find it exactly. I can't do it with Google Maps because it doesn't have an updated street view photo but it's here.

    My post contains a link to the daum street view photo and a link to an older Google Maps photo of exactly the same location. Use Google Maps in English and you should have everything you need.

    While stringing generally $ 10 per racquet, the famous brand products are pricey in korea, many places not even feature top brand product.
    If you visit Seongnam close to Seoul there is a badminton club 12 courts from 6 am to 10pm, has a pro shop open till 7pm has limited supply of Babolat, and a no name brand supply. They do very good string job, including free grip for $ 10.
