Going to Seoul for the first time next week and so happy I came across your channel. Not the usual sensationalism and overhyping you see in a lot of other travel content, but instead genuinely likeable people giving useful information and insights into an exciting country. This video couldn't have better timing for me. Thank you so much & keep up the awesome work.
Thanks so much for the kind words @_yosu! Hope you have a wonderful time in Seoul!
Have fun there😍 I will be there too this year🙏🏼

Hi I’m currently working at Seoul Metro and I found this video by chance. This is very useful and accurate! Thanks :)
Hi there @user-sailorv2nus thanks so much for the message! Really glad to hear that from an employee! You made my day! :)
You make the most helpful videos!! Love your style!
Thanks so much for the kind words and for watching @kimcristina!
I would love to see more guides to Seoul. Since there are no good ones on TH-cam.
Slowly working on a 7 day Seoul itinerary but waiting for Spring to roll around because if I film it now it's all grey and wintery haha. Hopefully it'll be done in April!
Thanks! This video will helped me a lot!
@WorkingJoe639 thanks so much for your generousity and support! Really glad that the video was helpful, and hope you have an amazing weekend filled with peace and happiness!

Thanks Matt, very informative! Happy to see your channel is growing well. Cheers!
Thanks so much Thoan! Pretty crazy how people just started randomly watching out of the blue, but it's starting slowing down again now. TH-cam is an interesting game for sure and hard to predict! Hope all the best for yourself as well eh!
Really helpful! Thanks!
@joycec1883 Thanks so much for watching! Glad it was helpful!
Very helpful, thank you so much.
Thanks so much for watching @letanky4045! Glad to hear that!
Good information. Thanks for the show. Regards
Thanks so much Howard! Hope you have a great week!
Great video drawing attention to confusing aspects for first time travellers.
Just as incredible are the free and impecably clean bathrooms. This wasn't the case as recently as 10 years ago though. I also miss the old transfer station music. The new one sounds like the starting lineup music to some Korean Basketball League team.
Incredible video, I talk from brazil
Thanks so much @lucasf03! Hello from Korea!
First time in seoul and their train system is actually very easy to use. Unlike in the UK, I got lost a couple of times. Lol. The good thing in the UK is that they accept credit cards as tap to pay. No longer required to purchase separate cards
Really agree with you there @pbatacan! That's nice that credit cards work in the UK. I think they are cash only in Korea just because they have to do anything they can to keep them cheap and not pay the card fees.
@@lostthenfound 2 days in ive been commuting like a local here in korea already. Hahaha. Their trains are smooth and silent. I can say theirs is better than UK and US. So far, Korean subway is the best for me. Never been to japan yet though.
That's great to hear @pbatacan! Japan's subways are very similar to Korea's, but more expensive when you travel further and there are multiple companies so sometimes you have to leave the gates from one company and enter the gates to another company.
Great video; super helpful. I’m curious how you get it so that you can use your phone on the subway. I’ll be living here for a couple years, so curious if that might be more convenient. Does the phone setup just work for the subway in Seoul or is it like the T-money card and work all over?
Thanks so much @seanmcnichol I'm glad it was a bit helpful! To use your phone you need a sim card with an NFC chip inside (I think this is standard now) and then the Mobile T Money (모바일티머니) app, which works amazing together with Samsung Pay if you have a Samsung phone. You can then use it all over the country no problem, and Samsung Pay is compatible with the regular credit card machines here, so I don't even carry a wallet anymore.
SOOOOOOO HELPFUL. thank you!!! also, i noticed you're tapping your phone to access the subway. I will be there for 3 weeks is that something I can easily do as well??
So glad it was helpful @irmazandl thanks so much! Unfortunately I'm pretty sure you need a Korean ID to get the SIM card that allows you to tap onto the subway/buses, so you'll have to buy a T-money card. A lot of people put the T-money card on their phone case though so it's kind of similar. Have an amazing trip!
Basic English, Chinese, Japanese, or Korean comprehension is about all ya need!
Yeah that's true! It's pretty easy to figure out once you figure out the system!
How much do u suggest to load the t money card if I am there 3 days sightseeing?
@EmmarcoPro I'd start with about 20,000 KRW and then top it up when you need.
I'm going to Seoul in November and found your video informative. It seems Soeul's subway is similar to many places around the world, which makes it intuitive for me. You mentioned that you cannot top t money with credit cards. Are there places where you can top them up with cards?
Thanks so much @m1nhuh glad it was helpful! Unfortunately there are no ways to top up with a credit card, and only by cash.
Is there printed train and bus map available for visitors? Is the Holiday Inn Express in Hongdae at a convenient location? Can taxi take 5 passengers? Thanks!
Great question! I've never seen a printable version of a subway/bus map, but if you have a smartphone you can download the Kakao Metro app and it works without an internet connection as well. A venti taxi (van type) can take 5 passengers at a time, but a regular taxi can only take 4.
the intro music makes me afraid I’m not gonna make it..
Haha I guess it was pretty intense @hazyhazel0502. Hopefully there was a bit of useful info in there too!
Sir, I am an Indian, I want to do a food delivery job in South Korea. Please get me a job in South Korea. Thank you.
Hi there @annukg, unfortunately the only way to do food delivery in Korea right now is to get the F-2, F-5, or F-6 visa first, so you have to be living here already and speak Korean to get started.
Even though, Japanese colonized Korea. I still think (as a Korean) the Japanese left behind some nice architectures, while Korea was in one of the poorest conditions. You should talk about the central station and more depth into the history about it.
I agree with you @sn350channel! I just meant this video to be a simple guide for people to use the subway system here, but maybe I can cover some of the history in a future video. Thanks for the suggestion!
