SEOUL -- IKEA, a Dutch-based global home-furnishing company, will open its first store in Seoul next month. The company that launched its first South Korean store in Gwangmyeong, a southwestern satellite city of Seoul, in 2014 currently operates four megastores across the country.

Hyundai Department Store, South Korea's major department store chain operator, said in a statement on Tuesday that IKEA will open "IKEA Planning Studio", an urban-themed store, at its department store in Cheonho, a district in western Seoul, on April 30.

Professional home-furnishing consultants will help customers design and decorate their homes, Hyundai Department Store said, adding that the company is cooperating with IKEA to open additional urban mini-stores at other Hyundai Department Store branches in Seoul.
