Ehwa Gyobok (이화교복) is a Korean school uniform rental shop located in the basement of Galleria Palace Apartment, right next to the Lotte World parking lot in Jamsil, Songpa-gu, Seoul — about a 5-minute walk from Jamsil Station Exit 4. The shop stocks hundreds of uniform sets ranging from traditional high-school blazer-and-skirt combos to vintage retro looks and K-pop stage-style outfits. Each rental set typically includes a top, bottom, vest, and tie. Optional add-ons such as backpacks, blazers, headbands, long socks, and stockings are available for a small extra fee. On-site changing rooms, lockers for your belongings, and a styling area with curling irons let you get photo-ready before stepping out. The real magic happens outside: with your uniform on, you can walk over to Seokchon Lake (석촌호수) for cherry-blossom-style skyline shots with Lotte World Tower in the background, stroll through Magic Island's fairytale castle area, or enter Lotte World itself — the uniform doubles as a cute costume inside the park.
