Just remembered a funny story that i wanted to write about a few weeks back, but never got around to do it. One day my portuguese friend asked me if i can help him find men deodorant. He told me that he's been looking for it for some time, but didn't manage to spot it anywhere... So, as a highly experienced cosmetics shopper, I immediately offered my services. We went to a Watson store and thought it should be fairly easy to find it. Well.. think again. We kept on looking and looking, but nothing. In the men section, they had everything ranging from all sorts of body emulsions to foot deodorants... everything except regular body deodorant. Eventually, we gave up searching on our ones and decided to take advantage of the shop assistant's english proficiency. So, Bruno picked up a women deodorant and asked the guy whether they also have it for men. Now it comes the interesting part. The seller, with a look of shock on his face, replied "Men don't use it in Korea". I think me and my friend were very rude cause we just burst into laughter just in front of him...
As a disclaimer, i need to say that this story is only based on the aforementioned experience, and i did not get any other confirmation. Moreover, my friend eventually found men deodorant in some other store from a more foreigners friendly area of seoul.

LOL... anyway, just in case, for the safety of your nose, you should stay away from Korean men :))
