I like their unique designs. Singapore has nice accessories but there's a tendency for designs to look similar. It's like all the buyers in Singapore are friends who have similar tastes and went shopping together in the same places.
Though, by my limited experience in Seoul, I realise that what is so-called "freaking cheap" to me, could actually really be even cheaper. For example, I purchased a top in Migilore, Myeong Dong by bargaining it down to what I thought was a good price. Then about half-an-hour later, walked over to a free-standing store in Myeong Dong and found the same top at an even cheaper price! I almost bought the same top in another colour, but the store is cash-only, so I just bought something else instead (I didn't bring enough cash! <<< *dumbo* Haha!)
I would have bought more accessories if I brought more cash. I also would have bought all the yummy cheap earrings (they have tonnes!!!) if only I didn't have bad allergic reactions to costume jewellery (my ears and cheeks itch, turn red and swell into huge lumps with some metals if I'm not careful).

Accessories from Seoul
I love these accessories I bought in Seoul. They are what you can call FREAKING CHEAP! They are of varying prices but range from S$3 to S$6 each. The quality actually looks quite good for something so cheap. LOL!

I can't help but laugh at your comments about the buyers in Singapore buying their goods together! LOL! I soooo agree! That's what makes shopping in Singapore a bit boring sometimes isn't it?

YEAH! Lotte World *beam* LOL. You know me well. Tho I think we'd most probably be hanging on tight to J when we go on the scary rides. Lol.
I can agree more with you that Sg's buyers seem to buy at the same place. So limited in choices. :)
