Markets and shopping malls inside Los Angeles’ Koreatown bustled with last-minute holiday shoppers this weekend.

One of them, Park Chan-hoon, 35, said he stopped by to check out big sales events. It took 20 minutes to find a parking spot and even longer to wait in check-out lines, he said.

A source at Rodeo Galleria said Korean-brand makeup, including makeup for men, has been popular with non-Korean customers this season.
