I've never seen another TH-camr show the Bulgogi Festival before. Great job presenting something new and something more cultural and something more authentically Korean than just the usual Korean restaurant food. I think this, plus the touching story at the UN memorial, makes it your best video in Korea. Thanks for showing me two things I've never seen before.
thank you so much! :) we had such a great time at the bulgogi festival, it was a total blast and we got to connect with so many cool people. and the UN memorial... something I'll never forget, for sure.
22:17 "1++" 🥩😯☝️
This video made me emotional, in the way you both were visually touched by the history of that pork gukbab, by the security guard lending you his shoes to get in, and all the heartbreaking history of the memorial. Y’all are great exemplary world trekkers.
RESPECT! Anybody who embodies the notion of "taking care of and helping others" deserves respect. Proud moment!!!
The crocs story made me cry.
The Busan Pork Soup (돼지국밥) has magical healing power for hangover!
*magical* we've tried to recreate and it just cannot be done, gotta go back to busan! :)
I love Busan! What a wonderful city!
It really is!
My wife and I spent a few weeks in South Korea earlier this year, and Busan was our favorite stop. Most of our favorite dishes from the whole trip were from there, and spending the evenings along Gwangalli beach was great
Oh hell nooo! Lisa and Josh starting a vlog with A Tribe Called Quest???!! You are truly my favorite (very hip) travel TH-camrs! Love your Busan videos!
yesssss!!!!! 🥳
I LOVE how you two have fun no matter what. Walking into a dirty karaoke room would cause most people to shift gears into negativity. But not you!! It's inspiring.
I loved this! When I went to Busan I just don't think I did the city justice, and this just confirms how much I missed out on. Must go back!
Busan episode is up! I was the guy who said hi to you guys. It was awesome meeting you guys!Busan was awesome and I miss it!!!
hey jay!! so awesome running into you at Biff square! hope you had a good rest of your trip :)
Looks like a party that i need in my life.
yesss!! 🥳
My wife and I love Busan also. Last summer we stayed right on the beach in Songdo and this past May we stayed just off the beach at Haeundae.
You show why Korean is such a fantastic place - they have preserved their history and culture with great pride, they have built some of the most modern cities in the world, the transportation network is excellent and the food is fantastic.
What a fun video! Thanks for taking me along...loved the food, the activities and the fact that you threw in some practical travel tips at the beginning. Yay for practical travel tips! 🙂
Damn good video this one. Busan looks lovely.
Oh god... I love Hotteoks! I didn't get to all those spots on my last visit to Busan. I need to go again!
The guys from Terra Beer are just promoting the brand sometimes they Quiz you, sometimes the make you play a game to win a prize. Many restaurants already sell the major brands so its not about competition more for brand recognition i would say. Hope you guys enjoyed the trip~!
This itinerary hit the nail on the head - cannot go wrong with gukbap & that bulgogi festival! Great to see you guys enjoying Busan!
Regarding the people associated with Terra beer (a subsidiary of Jinro (soju)) who came in while you were at barbecue, yes they are there to promote their specific booze. If you had an unopened bottle of a competitor on your table, they would offer to replace it with their own booze for free and give the bottle you had paid for back to the restaurant, which is why the restaurant owners are cool with it. Source: lived in Busan for three years, and want to move back already
Amazing! Thank you so much for the explanation
The funny thing about this kind of incentive is that the restaurant owner is better off NOT to start offering that beer in his establishment in the hope of those people showing up and him making "free" money.
2:08 and 33:11 - Hotteok makes its irresistible (and inevitable) appearance! Josh, you don't disappoint! #hotteok4life #teamhotteok #lisaandjoshandhotteok #hotteokdoesntcounttowardsbudget
#hotteokandjoshtogetherforever ❤️
Love Busan! The smoothie you got was strawberry, haha, the other one was Mango. The raw meat is called Yukhae (not sure how to spell it in English, but it's pronounced sort of like Yook hway) and it's raw beef with pears and a raw egg yolk.
“Find your version of a bulgogi festival” is a travel ethos I’m going to live by. (Or maybe already do- we have a video about the National Cornbread Festival, after all.) Also I’m not sure anyone answered but when we were at Jalgalchi with our now friend (then incredible guide my dad hired), Heeyoung, she told us the soju folks are just paid to market certain brands and encourage people to drink that brand. Ours were handing out the little hangover satchets! Much appreciated. Those plus a good soup like you got- winning combo. Not that we would know. 😉 -S
Oh man, your Korea videos are always so good! I'm not sure how expensive hanwoo beef is in Korea, but considering it's basically Korea's wagyu, I think the prices seemed really fair! Also, I made it on to one of your vlogs (in comment form) at 3:12!
We were in korea early this month and we also went to busan visted Gamchun village. It was really fun. Took KTX to Busan.
Food and drink go hand in hand in Korea and so unlike the US, where you can go into a bar and just order a drink, most places you will have to order food along with the drink. So there are so-called dive bars in Korea but you have to order food, usually people order the cheapest thing on the menu like peanuts and squid.
As for the promotional guys that came into the restaurant, some restaurants allow them and some don't. They are just promoting beers and soju and give out snacks.
Wow, great to see that you’re back in Korea.🎉
Thanks for this video. I'm traveling around SEAsia for 7 months and was going to skip busan, but now I'm sure I'll stay for a while.
First. I love your vids. The crocs story had me ugly crying. These inserts are exactly why your videos are so captivating and inspiring. You both are amazing and really bringing faraway lands to us. Well done
Hahahaha! I was cracking up every time see your next morning reaction. So quiet until you have hangover food into your mouth. :)
Great video. Busman added to my age 55 gap year. And I will watch the ads in full length so I can support you both on your journey. Keep up the great work.
Korea is a country of festivals, would love to take you on a road trip next time youre in town!
저런 작은 지역 축제에도 여행 유튜버가 찾아가주면 넘 좋지
Just discovered your channel :) we'll be back in Korea visiting Seoul/Busan next Spring. Love the mix of humour and seriousness in this video. Our travelling style is quite similar, so thanks for your insights! On the one hand we always plan a few things ahead, but it's the unexpected kindness and awesomeness that you run into that makes things memorable.
ohh yes, we feel this so much! :) we always have to remind ourselves to leave room for the spontaneity and generosity of the place we're visiting and people we get to meet along the way. thanks for watching! :D
Love it, please can you do a tour of Spain at some point
What an outstanding video.....great content, editing and insight on what is now a new vacation destination for us.. Thank you for sharing....beautifully done.
Really brave of you guys to venture out to that bulgogi festival, good on you guys~ come back soon!
You guys even went to the UN memorial cemetery! Respect!! As a korean who has served in the army, i really appreciate people visiting that place. Hope you enjoyed your time in korea. Also the place you went for bulgogi beef festival is called Chulma. Small town adjacent to Busan and well known for its high quality of beef! One of my favorite beef bbq restaurants is actually there too😁
There are so many places on earth to visit, but honestly the best places to go and to return to are always in Asia. Always things to do or to discover and the food is so fantastic, so cheap. Btw, this video is about Busan, but are you always combining several cities when flying to a country ? Are you travelling to Seoul, Busan, other places and editing separate videos for each city ?
👍 Good video, really enjoyed it. 😊
Oh, I like your Korea tour videos so much as always. You know how to do it all every place in Korea with your two big happy smiles. ❤
was waiting for video ... was wandering where your next destination was going to be ... Loved it! love love the 3 days 100$ a day travels ... so inspired by it. Im gonna use it for my trips from now on! following your travels all the way from Jeddah Saudi Arabia!
Congratulations on 50k guys! Love the 3 days in... format
thanks so much! :)
I've been watching a Lot of vlogs and videos on Busan and Seoul to prep for my trip to SK in July and yours has been my favourite. Thanks! Continue enjoying life :)
I spent time in Busan while in the Navy, I don't remember seeing any American civilians there unless they were military dependents. It's great you visited the cemetery and honored American and Allied soldiers.
Dang busan is bussin 🥊 this was some good action packed stuff 💪
I love hotteok too!!
it's soooo good!! ❤️
Where there any Zombies? Watching now to find out. ;b
WOW - that was so moving Josh in the memorial - I had shivers down my spine
cracking up at the transition from UN memorial to the 14th bulgogi festival :D
Amazing trip guys I love your honest approach to travel and everything you see and do!
Your video is not only entertaining but inspiring! I'm in Korea now and am saving your video as a guide to my Busan visit next week! Thank you!
Not sure if they have in Busan but get the soft serve vanilla/choco swirl at Baekmidang ice cream. (Check out the one at IFC mall in Yeoido, Seoul). Best ice cream on earth.
Love all your clips 😊
Thank you so much guys. I learned something about Korea which I thought I knew a lot about.. love you guys ❤ and thank you for your hard work to make this episode of Korea.
Thank you too!

😯 It appears that you bought the highest graded hanwoo beef. Nice.
wow! had no idea! it was super tasty, we loved it!
You always give level headed and honest advice, I appreciate it!
i think the plastic bag is for leftovers if you dont finish you can pack it home!
Just found your channel today. Absolutely loved your Busan video!! We will be going there in November.
Nice-da! Really enjoyed your video! Thanks guys.
i am living in Busan.❤ Thank you for the awesome video.
Incredible Video.
Another great budget vid. Question, does Josh really like the Yokohama shirt that much? See that in almost every video…haha
i LOVE that shirt, but I've worn it so much it's starting to fade and get holes, so it may not appear too much longer!
😂
와우 한국에 다시오신건가요 반가워요!!
Looks cool, can't wait to go in October. Hoping to climb some mountains out thete.
Very happy you guys had a great time in Busan. I am away from Korea for now but defo missing all the Korean street food ❤
you have best korea and japan vlog ,
hope you reach India and south America
Awesome travelers 👍
우와~저도 부산 살지만 좋은곳은 다 가셨네요!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Superb video , Anyeon Haseyo
Korean hospitality I know is the best in the world
The meat smell is more than likely in your clothes. 👍 would you recommend South Korea for vegetarians?
18:05 i like how Josh spontaneously just went into Rare Earth mode haha
16:00 ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
Wow 마을버스를 이용하시네요 ㅎㅎ 역시 제대로 경험하고 즐기시는 여행가입니다 ㅎㅎ
Aye aye aye it's Bussin'!
Thank you 🙏
5:33 Koreans Farmers Dance. Fun and Iconic.
this was incredible!!
Hi Lisa! I met you at Sam’s club! Love your videos!
Hii! So cool to meet you in the checkout line! :) thanks so much for watching our videos!
I was curious where you would go in Busan, it's one of my top 5 favorite cities in Korea. Next time, check out the Songdo Skywalk, which is open after the massive damage it encountered after Typhoon Hinnamnor last September. Take the Songdo Marine Cable Car (or walk) to Amnan Park and hike the mountain. Walk across the scenic Songdo Yonggung Cloud Bridge. You can also hike the Songdo Coastal Bolle-gil Trail for an up close and personal experience with nature. I went to the Memorial a few times, the first time for one of my blog subscribers. They live in Australia and could never afford to visit a family member's grave. So I went for her and took pictures. As a military spouse and mother, it was an emotional experience. Keep the vlogs coming. Btw... I love Gyeongju, Paju, Yeosu, and Mokpo.
Will you guys go back to using the daily wheel? I love that theme of your videos.🧭
We loved it too! It may make an reappearance ;)
Great content, but I want to give you a shout-out for an inspirational and fantastic reflection, tribute, and content related to the UN Memorial Cemetary. South Korea would not exist (as it is today) if the world did not care (Korean War 1950-1953)....send their troops to defend freedom on a land that most didn't know even existed. Thank you for including that portion in this video.... as a Korean-American combat veteran of the U.S. military.
👌❤️🙋♂️
We were in Busan last Dec for about 4days...one of the more affordable cities to visit
Do you know if the performance at the Busan Tower is daily or on specific dates?
🤗🤗🤗
When he said there’s no place like this ( the colorful villages) I was like hmmm excuse me… the favelas in Brasil and some hoods in Mexico City looks exactly like that…
Those beer guys are to promote selling of their brand. Usually you have to order a bottle from the store and they will give you the whatever prize they have (usually hangover drink)
Whats the background music towards the end of the video? It’s so calming😊
Hello Lisa and Josh!! Where do you go to take the bus to cultural village? Also, did you ever need to recharge your T-Money cards? Thank you for your awesome videos! I can’t wait to go to Busan in October 🫰🏻
Yep - we recharged them basically every other day :) every subway station has a machine to recharge.
I think it was this bus stop to get there - use the Naver app - it will tell you more specifically when you're there!

What time of the year/month is that beef festival cause i definitely want to check it out.
This year it was in early June, but would recommend checking for the next year’s. We’ve heard in the past they were held in different months. Hope you get to go!!
I love daeji gukbap
😋😋😋
Answer to your Q : soju or beer marketing. They are promoting so that you will order the brand that they are promoting. They are not selling the drinks but want you to order the brand of choice from the restaurant fridge, where they are already competing in.
Not sure if this is going to get any response but here goes. I'm going to Seoul in few weeks and will be there for 8 nights. We planned on visiting Busan for a day, taking the earliest train and coming back on the latest. Is a single day enough to get the flavor of Busan or should we do a 2 day stay. Keep in mind, we have full itinerary planned for Seoul so extra stay in Busan will cut into that.
Please help. We are a family of 4 and going to Busan from Incheon Airport. Do we need to book our ticket for KTX or just buy tickets as soon as we arrive at the Seoul station?
Have U guys been to Turkeye. There is an Asian side of Istanbul and the European side. Turkeye is very interesting and amazing. Their food is brilliant. Out of this world
Hi! Which area did you guys stay?
You know~tteokbokkki and eomook (fish cake) are 10times better in Busan than in Seoul~~~!! I mean it !!
와...돼지국밥을 다 드시다니...
My question: Isnt it too expensive to fly over there for just 3 days? or did you get a super cheap last minute flight? Just curious :)
