COEX Mall is an underground shopping mall located in the Gangnam-gu of Seoul, South Korea, and is the largest shopping centre in Seoul.[citation needed] It is located at Samseong-dong served by Samseong Station on Seoul Metro Line 2, at the intersection of Teheranno and Yeongdong Dae-ro. It is the largest underground mall in Asia with an area of about 85,000 square metres.[citation needed]

The COEX Mall is often crowded, and it is a popular place for people in Seoul to go on the weekend. Along with countless shops, the mall houses two food courts, a 16-screen multi-cinema complex, a world-class aquarium attraction, a mega-scale bookstore and the Kimchi Museum. It also features a game area which is used to film computer game tournaments (for which South Korea is well known) which are broadcast on local television. There are also stages inside and outside the mall which are utilized for public appearances by celebrities and seasonal events.

The COEX Mall is adjacent to the COEX Convention & Exhibition Centre, which is also part of the South Korean World Trade Centre complex.
