Seoul is friggin amazing. Korean culture is super distinctive compared with its much larger neighbors, China and Japan. I jive with Korean culture the most. Just love it.
Korea pop culture exports are higher than those of China and Japan, and the highest in Asia
Korea and the U.S. are the only two countries in the world that export more pop culture than imports
Korea total exports are higher than Japan.
@user-hl5et8sk1h 아닙니다 한국 대중문화 수출액이 일본보다 높은걸로 압니다
일본 음악시장 드라마 시장뿐 아니라 웹툰 시장 온라인게임 시장 sns 시장도(네이버 라인)이 장악했습니다
한국 방송 컨텐츠 수출액도 세게 3위로 압니다
지금은 훨씬 격차가 클거라 생각하지만 몇년전 한국 대중문화 일본 수출액이 일본 대중문화 한국 수출액의 100배 였습니다
@user-hl5et8sk1h 님이나 이상한 소리 하지마세요
대중문화 수출액 순위를 말한겁니다
제가 예전에 본 자료에는 1위 미국 2위 영국 3위 프랑스 4위 한국이였습니다
세계에서 대중문화 수출액이 수입액 보다 많은 나라는 한국 미국 단 두나라 뿐인것도 맞습니다
2019년 기준으로만 봐도 한국 방송 컨텐츠 수출액이 770억엔 일본 530억엔으로 한국이 더 높습니다
참고로 전 세계 한류동호회에서 활동하는 회원수만 1억명이 넘습니다
몇년전 일본 방송에서 일본 10대 여학생들에게 어떤 나라가 패션에 가장 영향을 미치냐는 설문조사에 한국이 1위로 발표됐습니다
@user-hl5et8sk1h 그거 수출액 통계가 아니라 시장규모 통계고 그래서 쇄국을 하며 문화 수출액이 그렇게 크지 않은 중국이 2위이죠.
이 통계가 어떤 기준이냐에 따라서 달라질 건데 아마 순수 컨텐츠 수출액을 따지면 우리나라가 분명 일본을 앞서는 건 사실일겁니다.
다만 원 소스 멀티 유즈로 다양한 파생상품 규모까지 집어넣으면 일본은 애니메이션만 해외에 100억달러 넘게 판다고 하니 아마 시장 자체로는 일본이 앞서겠지요.
뭐 캐릭터 상품은 기본에 프라모델,게임,온갖 의류에 도서에 상상을 초월하는 거까지 팔아재끼는게 일본의 멀티 유즈이니 여기서 액수가 굉장히 많이 갈릴겁니다.
우리나라도 다양하게 파생시키긴 하지만 일본을 못 따라가죠.

It is currently a long holiday season in Korea, similar to Thanksgiving in the U.S. So most Koreans, especially those in Seoul, have left for their hometowns and many stores are closed. Please note, though, there will be many places open in downtown areas. Maybe it will be quiet and leisurely. It might be better for traveling. I hope you have a pleasant trip while you are in Seoul.
4:28 Ohh!!! You got a discount by transferring from bus/subway whatever to this bus! It's called [Hwan-Seung].
The lady in front of you paid 1,500 won, you paid only 250 won!
And it's good to see that you tagged the T-money card while you get out of the bus. By doing this you can get(got) the Tranfer discount when take a different public transportation.
Gang means river. Nam means south. So Gangnam basically means south of the river (Han River). And Gangbuk is north of the river.
gangdong - east of the han river, gangseo- west of the han river.
Shows the influence of Chinese on the Korean language. 江南 (jiang nan) means the same - south of the river (Yangtze).
short answer, no. read other replies
@@123leop What are you talking about? Are you another liberal who thinks they know more about Korea than an actual Korean?
@@CrippaDaBeast nope ! Gangnam is not chinese. 문자는 한중일 공용 문자이다.

I LOVE SEOUL VERY MUCH❤❤❤
Every couuntry has their unique and cool buildings and areas. The cooliest thing of Korea is not those buldings. There are just so many things to do with your friends until the next morning whiout worrying about safety at all. Stay one month in Korea and make local frends. Then you'll know what I'm saying. 😄
that is an old fairytale:) Many stores close at around 8 here

@unka2007 that might be true. Many stores close at night. Nighttime culture disappeared😊😊😊

everyone is well dressed and the streets and public transports are so clean. amazing!
Lotte name comes from Goethe's novel character, Charlotte.
Zane, I wish a Korean person would take you and show you around. You said you didn't want to go into the Galleria Mall, actually, Korean Department stores have very extensive food selections. Glad you are finding your way around though. For someone who has never been to Korea, you sure have done some extensive researches! I currently live in the States but visit Seoul couple times a year and watching you make me miss it. I just found your channel and love your laidback personality! Keep it up and will subscribe. Wish you health and more awesome adventures to come.
cuz He’s an ass😂hol❤e
As I commented in a previous video, pretend there is an "h" after each vowel or combination of vowels and pronounce that as the vowel, so "a" would be pronounced as "ah". Thus, Gang Nam should be pronounced Gahng Nahm.
He does it on purpose. I don't know why else you'd be so familiar with the song Gangnam Style to the point that you keep appending 'style' every time you say 'Gangnam' and yet still not say it right 🙄
한국에 오신걸 환영합니다 ^^
좋은 여행이 되시길 바랍니다.
한국에 오셨으니 여기에서 먹어볼 수 있는 전통 음식들도 드셔보세요.
비빔밥, 삼계탕, 청국장, 조개구이, 한우곱창, 갈비탕, 추어탕 등등
I recommend Galleria Department store or Hyundai Department store food court when you are in Apgujeong area. :)
Korean Fried Chicken tip - you won't find the best at any street stand or any place where it's not made to order. Head to JongNo 3 ga station and walk south a few blocks but stop before you get to the man-made stream running east/west. Any number of side alleys would have outdoor German Hof-like tables where people are drinking beer and eating chicken. That's some of the best chicken right there. Or, if you want to play it safe and go with a popular chain - Kyochon and b.b.q chicken are consistently reliable. Multiple locations.
Even if you can't finish, I'd get their half and half plates. Get one half original fried (no sauce) to appreciate the crispy flakiness of the skin, and the other half a sauced one of your choice. Soy garlic and sweet/spicy are two of the most popular flavors but it's up to you. I like that Korean chicken sauces are this thick glaze more than a runny sauce that drips off.
Dude, you are skimming through and you are missing out so much. Don’t eat too much Korean FC. There is another world out there called korean cuisine and culture.
Many thanks for showing Seoul to foreigners in detail.
I became a subscriber to your channel.
It's fun to watch your video.
According to statistics from two years ago, the average price of apartments in Seoul is
It's about $1.05 million
Gangnam reported an average of $1.65 million
I want to go to Korea too...😥😥
You got to try the local Korean style fried chicken man, it's awesome!
한강 근처에 조성된 유엔빌리지와 이태원 리움 미술관 근처에 조성된 부촌을 가보는 것을 추천한다.
Thanks for sharing this trip with me be safe out here. 🤩💙🤩💙🤩
I'm heading to Korea in 2 weeks on a semi-spontaneous trip, I like that you show every detail of buying transit cards/leaving the airport. Helps me prepare!
Hi Mike, subway is a good option but you can also take a limo bus. You have to know which one to take but it most likely will take you to your hotel. If you are staying at an ABNB, it should take you close.
교통카드는 편의점에서 구입
Hey Mike, I'll be there in 2 weeks also. I've been researching for the last month and it looks as if you have few options. Provided you're staying in Seoul, you can take the express metro and get to Seoul station and then transfer to a different line. For example, I'm staying in Myeondong so I'll be transfering to line 4. You also have a bus variant but depending on when you're arriving, you might hit traffic. First things to do once you arrive at the airport is to get some Korean money. I will convert the minimum since exchange rate is usually bad at the airport. Second, get a sim card and third, get a T-money card. The only thing I am not sure about is if the express train must be bought separately or if I could just load up my T-money card and use it to take the train. Enjoy your stay. Maybe we'll unknowingly rub elbows.
@@Americaninparis2012
I was thinking of getting an e-sim! But yeah good advice. I'm there from the 14th! So might see you at the airport
@@Mike-schmike I'll be arriving on the 17th. Enjoy yourself. I'm staying in Seoul 6 days and 2 days in Busan. I didn't plan to initially but all the Busan videos made me change my itinerary.
I like to listen your astrology reading on my sign 😊.. I am glad you travel to S. Korea where I was born in Seoul. Now I am in Eastcoast in the USA
It's very interesting to look at my hometown from a foreigner’s perspective. Also, I like your outfit, which is very dandy and neat. Cute !
Welcome to Korea. If you have any inconveniences during your trip, please be honest and air them. We will correct this through the power of the people. Of course, I am even more grateful that you let me know that good things are good. Anyway, I hope you have a convenient and healthy trip. I enjoyed watching it. thank you! 👋
There are lots of entertainment companies are in the K-Star road block
If I were to give you an update on K-pop
In Korea, the virtual K-pop market is growing
A group called "Isegy Idol" recently had a concert, attracting 20,000 people and succeeding.
Please listen to the cover song "Fromis" by member Lilpa. It was the theme song of the Korean game and you can see the singing skills. There are songs such as "Re: Wind, Rock Down, Kidding" and so on, anyway, virtual idols are happening a lot in Korea right now, and it will probably affect the whole world soon.
The reason I'm talking about this is that Korea is expected to start a game-changing game for Korean virtual idols in the global music market.

tip!
The reason why people label cards when they get off is because of transfers. After the tags, all other buses and subways are free on board within 30 minutes.
The maximum 2 of free transfers is supported.
Korea's transportation cards share all buses and subways in the country.
(The basic section is within an hour of public transportation or a straight distance of 10km)
Taxis are also available, but transfers are not possible.
When you don't have cash,
you can pay with a transportation card at convenience stores
WELCOME TOKOREA🙂
어쩜 재미 없는 곳만 골라서 가는걸까요?😅 서울 사는 나도 1년에 한번 갈까말까한곳ㅋ 그냥 한강이나 북한산 가던지 이태원에서 술이나 마실렵니다.. 당신이 다닌곳은 밤에 재밌는곳이에요. 낮에는 그냥 흔한 도시일뿐 한국은 밤문화가 좋아요.. 그리고 뭐든 일본과 비교하고 그거 안좋은 거에요
There's no one in Apgujeong during the day There are so many supercars at night
I wish you try to visit Lotte World Tower, which is the tallest building in Skorea and the 5th tallest in the world
The surgery that Korean women often perform is double eyelid surgery. It's a very common surgery because it's cheap, simple, and safe. This is to increase the statistical rate, and other than that, the surgery rate for Korean women cannot reach 25%. Breast surgeries, which were once popular, are becoming less common these days. Nowadays, the plastic surgery industry is largely driven by tourism in Korea. The targets are wealthy Chinese, Japanese, and Middle Easterners.
One correction, China is NOT part of the rich Asian country…, they just have tons of people and their
Income per person average is like 10k a year, which is considered 2nd country NOT FIRST.
Ha Ha Wy u liying China is so Rich cantury
Hope my T-money card still works as I'm going back in 6 weeks. Can't wait! Relieved to see that the face masks appear to have been largely discontinued indoors. Many thanks for the detailed vlog - didn't do Gangnam last time and I definitely will in March. 🇰🇷👍
25:17 HR is just a shortened word of Human Resources:) Korea don't have any natural resources so we value Human Resources.I hope you had a great trip.
Seoul is no compared to Seattle or Denver. It is one of the largest, highly developed modern cities in the world.
It is very interesting watching you visited Seoul showing with totally self adventuring and discovering the foreign country yourself without any help only depending on the phone technology.
Hope you learn Korea is one of the safest place for living and Koreans have the best sence of citizenship in the world.

Star field Mall reminds me of the Mainplace Mall in Orange County California, in the USA 🇺🇸.
27:31 The girls looked down to check the door number from the floor, then moved. So in Seoul Metro, every carriages has a number 1 to 10, as well as doors from 1 to 4. For example, "6-2" incdicates the second door (entry/exit) of the sixth carriage. You can check the number on floor. On Kakako Map or Seoul Metro map, you can check which door number has the shortest (most efficient) trip for your metro line transfers or destination's station exits so you can save some time by tracking up or down the platform when you arrived. What the girls did was, they checked the number, and then moved to where they need to go as the subway has just departed anyways. :)
Thanks so much for the view you gave of the Starfield liabrary. I must have watched at least 300 videos showing the library, but they only ever show it from the bottom up. You are the first who has shown that you can actually touch the books and they are real books, and that you can walk around and through the library on the top floor, and that there is something happening on the ground floor too. Now I want to make sure when I visit Seoul that I go to the library and do the walk that you just did down, up, through and around the library. Thank you.
How about travel Bukhan mountain near by seoul (Bukhansan Ui (Doseonsa) station). it will be good walking trip.
17:43 the utensils are in the table. you have to get them yourself. you will usually see a drawer and you pull it
I noticed you doing something innocent throughout your videos but for the sake of your youtube career wanted to warn: never compare Korea and Japan (because of its complicated political history). Just don't. Not even coming from the purest of hearts. Other travel youtubers did so at their peril (also reminded me of this girl who thought Vietnam must be obsessed with French culture since there was French architecture everywhere). I can tell you're an analytical person and I'd be tempted to myself, especially as you're on a multi-Asia trip and use previous countries visited as a frame of reference for the next one, but to prevent your comment section from possibly degenerating into a hot garbage dump, avoid if at all possible.
"this Japanese style crosswalk" - because it reminded you of Shibuya crossing in Tokyo. No, it's just a scramble crossing intersection.

I enjoyed your video! When it comes to Gangnam, Samseong-dong, where COEX is located, feels more like the heart of Gangnam than Gangnam Station itself. However, true wealthy individuals live in Hannam-dong, Apgujeong and Cheongdam-dong. (Psy's song 'Gangnam Style' actually refers to Apgujeong and Cheongdam within Gangnam. In reality, he now lives in Hannam-dong, not in those areas.)
Apgujeong Rodeo Street suffered during the pandemic but is slowly recovering now. Many businesses were closing down, but the cafes and shops surviving are mostly inside the Cheongdam-dong cafe street or on the opposite side of the Galeria. This alley is filled with celebrity hair salons and trendy cafes and restaurants. You can spot many celebrities there at night. Locals prefer Cheongdam-dong cafe street over Apgujeong Rodeo, and the area in front of Dosan Park is also popular. Unfortunately, I couldn't see that area, but it seems like heading in the direction of Sinsa-dong Garosu-gil from the bus stop where you got off. All of these places are near the bus stop where you first got off. Next time, be sure to check them out! I really enjoyed your journey and opinion!
Your mispronunciation of Gangnam is killing me, especially since you know the song. Both As are short vowels.
SHOW SOMETHING DIFFERENT .NOT ONLY STREETS.
While doing my research I couldn’t figure out how to pronounce Lotte or Gangnam. 😂😅
Congrats on 30k subscribers! Been watching your vids since Taiwan and excited to see more
오빤 강남스타일 오ㆍ오
You need tour guide so badly to see more exciting places etc.
thank you for visiting south korea 😀
If you want to report from the local, please respect the culture and learn some their pronunciation. When you say Kangnam (Gamnam) (you are not even close), it should be Gamnam. You have terrible pronunciation of the place. You must get rid of the western pride, saying it's okay to say in your own culture.

I think SK got so fast modernized with outstanding entrepreneurs leaders and democratization in recent history resulting in a few presidents convicted and prisoned.
Freedom and democracy are the most essential ingredients.
I love your videos! Love how you show the airbnbs too! How you show us things and how they work. I love how you call Gangdom “ Gangdom style” “ when referring to the city !😅
You should actually try the Korean style pizza! It's very unique
Uniquely bad. Sugar doesn’t belong on pizza and garlic bread! Korea has a lot of great food, but Korean pizza isn’t it.
Im Korean. Think its suits only a few certain people but definitely not Western tastes! :))@@dylantech
Hey Zane. I so much welcome you to Korea. But you are visiting all the wrong places and getting awful street foods. I hope you find a good Korean buddy and get to experience the real Korean vibes.
와 강남이다.

The reason why many people call it K-Star Road is that there are many Korean star entertainment agencies and entertainment companies in the area.
( Including outfits and hair and makeup shop )
Yes. Capital of plastic surgery because they are the top of their skills and people all of the world come to get the surgery. About 35% of the procedures are done on foreigners.
in europe pepole are So beautiful White blond blue eyes noo plastic Surgery 😂
Thank you for visiting my city mate... I must say you are so cute 😍 ❤
Seoul city looks amazing😊❤❤❤ best city in Asia🌏
No.1 plastic surgery is the USA and Brazil
What r u talking about
Search in internet
Gangnam pronounced as Gahng Nahm.
Lotte pronouced as Lowt Tae.
For your reference.
how about research a little harder and first learn to pronounce Gangnam right lol
You should go to Gangnam Station 🚉 for clubbing 😅
That area is huge😮 😳 😅😊
Why would you not just walk into a club in Gangam/sp just to see what it was like? If clubs are not your thing you don't have to stay there.
Dude... you need to learn how to pronounce Gangnam....
Korean fired chicken or any Korean foods make me really sick due to them using a lot of MSG in all foods. They just pour MSG in to foods.
You missed Lotte World Tower near Gangnam. That is the tallest building in Korea(and the 5th tallest bldg in the world).
Seoul is like new york. Very exciting city. I should say the most exciting city in the world and the most convenient city😅
Sorry but it's pronounced Ro Dae O, not like the Texas rodeo but like the LA. "Ro Dae O" Drive. You're not actually going through the affluent streets. The back alleyways won't give your viewers the right view. You also don't have to be so paranoid about the music, walking by won't get you flagged.
Gangnam is for the nouveau riche, young and flashy. Old money, the actual money, are centered more on the other side of the Han River (GangBuk) single home estate properties on mountains.
Some of the best food is actually in the Food Courts of every major department store. If you had walked into the basement food court you would have been amazed at the quality, variety and affordable prices of good food. Best when eating alone. In the future look for Shinsaegae, Lotte, Hyundai department stores, all of the basement floors are massive food courts.
so many plastic surgery is being done in Korea because its very cheap compared to rest of the world because so many medical students studied plastic surgery instead of others since there were so much money to be made. Now its over supplied so people if you want plastic surgery come to korea.
Many people already come to Korea for plastic surgery. Chinese are the top of that list. That's why may clinics in Gangnam are hiring staff speaking Chinese.
Beautiful pepole are in europe White blond nooo plastic 😂
Not seeing luxurios life. Urban streets, lots of them without a single tree... Not compelling at all.
You don't taste an 얼죽아 Uljuka that means "얼어죽어도 아이스아메리카노 I will take IceAmericano even if freezing to die."?
13:08 SM Entertainment, which created the form of a K-pop idol, had its headquarters on that road. Also there are many entertainment agencies(models,actors,comedians... etc) around the road.
Salons where singers and actors and comedians wear hair style and makeup are also gathered around Apgujeong and Cheongdam. fashion stylist's offices , dermatology clinic , also plastic surgery clinic..;) too.
Many singers,actors,comedians,models live in the neighborhood.
Galleria Mall is a luxury mall where celebrities are seen the most in korea. also it has the largest number of luxury brand stores in Korea.
Zane, one of the things about your videos that I like is that the 'architecture' of your videos is exactly the same from the very first one to the most recent.
I grew up in Gangnam 30 yrs ago. It was already cool place to live but now it is the one of the coolest city in the whole world as far as I know. 😅
Welcome to Korea Gangnam :) You noted that plastic surgeries are popular! That's true. What was the most interesting thing you saw in the area?
Thanks for visiting Korea! Travel style that walking around by yourself is so interesting!
Fun fact about Starbucks Korea:
- Started as 50:50 joint venture with E-Mart in1997
- It has grown to 1,841 stores (hence the reason why you see Starbucks in every corner) vs 1,846 in Japan currently
- E-Mart owns 67.5% stake in Starbucks Coffee Korea (recently added 17.5%); remaining 32.5% is now owned by GIC; Starbucks US does not have any ownership
- E-Mart used to be a part of Shinsegae Group (Korea's retail giant)
- Shinsegae used to be a part of Samsung Group until the 90s
I dont know how to make a English speaker pronounce "Ah" sound like at the beginning of "our". Gangnam sould not be pronounced like Gang.
Polo for gangnam 😂😂😂
It's just that the rent is expensive and it's not a luxury. It's a place everyone comes to visit.
Sometimes tourists feel puzzled when they use the expression ‘luxury Gangnam’.
It seems that you've missed real luxury part of Gangnam with many more luxury stores...
Not sure what guide you read but this time the place where you were is not where it should be in fact. The Rodeo street and the area were busy decades ago and practically a dead commercial zone nowadays. As you can see in the video all the buildings and shops are old and not maintained anymore. Considering the population of Seoul, you could even say it’s empty there now. The region is still expensive area though. You will still see some model agencies or makeup shops for celebrities around. The whole Apgujeong area is not easy to figure out. If you actually wanted to see a current rich side then you had to go to the opposite side.
I thought foreigners would find Gangnam very boring but I guess that's just cuz I'm from the area. Would love to take you on tour through Gangnam next time you visit Seoul :)
