Myeongdong Cathedral played a huge role in Korea's democratization movement in the 1980s. Many pro-democracy figures hid in Myeongdong Cathedral while wanted, and the cathedral hid them. It is one of the places that contributed greatly to Korea's direct voting system. If you want to know more details, please watch a movie like "1987".
"In Fact, Local Korean people do not purchase Street food in Myeong Dong. People who operate/sell there, majority of them are Chinese Workers and the foods are not really Korean Food. The prices are also a lot higher than normal because of foreign tourists who will pay for it to try. I do not recommend Street Food in Myeong Dong Area". This is what yoyo-qr1ju wrote in Korean. and I agree 100 %
I was thrilled to see the Cathedral! My father was in Korea during the war. I recently found his slide pictures from his time there and have been researching to identify the places he had been. So far I have found three places that I know where my father had been. This Cathedral is one them, and Namsan Hill. My father never talked about his time in Korea and sadly has passed. My plan now is continue to research and find the locations of my father's pictures. Then in Sept 2025, with my son, we will walk in my father's foot prints to re-create the same pictures that he took over 70 years ago.
Our country could be developed now because some good people like your father helped to finish the war long time ago and gave us peace :) thanks to your father
Everything about this video is why I want to return to SK.... I used to work there for 5 yrs. It always feels like Korea is years into the future when you're coming from the U.S. Going between both countries like jumping through a time warp.
It's not all sunshine and rainbows though...yes the technology is great but there's more to life than that. It's the number one country for suicide...so not everything is great in Korea. Because you're a foreigner and not an actual Korean, you see/experience Korea differently.
@@Dima-xu2qw I understand your viewpoint. I agree that Koreans don't place the same expectations upon foreigners as they do upon other Koreans, so yes, that can cause both experiences to be different. As an American, I feel the same when people from other countries talk about how much they want to live in the U.S. because they love the show "Friends." Having lived in other countries outside of the U.S., I often feel so disappointed with how things are here, such as the gun violence, the woke politics, the health care system, and lack of safety. Gun violence is a big problem in America. The gun violence problem in America probably parallels the suicide problem in Korea. No country is perfect. America works for some and not others; same as Korea. I know many Koreans who've left Korea for their own personal reasons and that's okay. I think the goal is to live where we feel we can thrive best.
As an African American, I absolutely love South Korea. I don't understand how some of my people were a victim to racism? I personally haven't experienced any scrutiny or racism in Korea. It's an absolutely beautiful country and I really want to live there one day. An absolute dream city. I stayed a few nights in Gangnam-Daero which was my most memorable experience. The night life, the people, the aesthetics the FOOOD (oh my god the food) and the atmosphere was something out of a movie, very futuristic and gives cyberpunk vibes. They live in a completely different universe compared to here in America. I love Sotuth Korea so much!!!
Most examples of racism cases I heard from foreign tourists are in fact not racism but misunderstanding the manners of Koreans. Of course there is racism in Korea, but it is subtle and it may happen at specific situations 😢 some Koreans, especially older people, have rough manners (when they talk or act), and foreigners tend to interpret the rude behavior as racism, but I can tell those rude people are just rude people and behave that mean way even to Koreans. A lot of times they don’t even know their behavior is rude. 😅
yeah i agree so much as a korean. most racism examples ive heard are from rude older people with rough behaviors and im really sorry if any people had unpleasant experiences due to the people here, but i feel like most korean people are very positive and friendly toward foreigners. the rude people are most likely rude to other koreans as well, and i hope everyone understands that there are karens in every country
As a Korean, there are always many people who claim to have been racist in Korea when they watch overseas TH-cam. But if there is racism in Korea, it will be in the news. There is no claim of racism, and he always uses videos provokingly just as a victim. I think that's also a problem.
The reason why the platform was empty is that people normally take the express train to Seoul station. You took the normal subway which stops every station. Next time try express train to incheon airport it only stops at 2 stations. It costs a bit more but not that much
I have traveled to 6 countries, I only know Japan and South Korea in East Asia, but without fear of being wrong, Seoul is my favorite city in the world so far 🫰🏼🇰🇷 #SeoulMySoul I can't wait to go back and walk more, I only went for 6 days and I feel like I missed many places to see.
Ahhhhhhh this video is the perfect summary of why I miss South Korea so much… ever since I traveled around Korea for 2 weeks I miss the whole country, their food, culture and eventually Korean ppl almost everyday…😢
I don't wanna say Korea is perfect for everyone. But It's safe to say that almost all Koreans want tourists to have lots of good experiences in Korea. And I'm glad to hear that from you! We always welcome you🇰🇷❤️
11:47 that passerby stepping in out of nowhere to help you without you even asking for help is what I love about traveling to Korea. Their general attitude towards foreigners is more welcoming and open than other East Asian countries in my experience. Also, Korea, like Japan, does not have trash bins out in public. Best practice is to carry a small plastic bag with you to collect your day's trash and sort it properly when you get home.
Living in US, I had visited Korea & Japan in December of last year after nearly 16 years of hiatus, and it felt so new to me, and it's so cool that your experience reminds me of that feeling again but with a fresh set of eyes. It's always interesting to see how a non-native Korean sees Korea. ;-) Thanks for the video.
@@پریسامحمدی-ح3ط Each has its own character that are different from each other. I find both attractive in its own way. Koreans tend to be more openly expressive, and Japanese less so.
The white thing you ate with the chicken is not cheese. It is rice cake. For korean fried chicken joint, I personally like pelicana or bbq chicken. Also try tteokbokki (spicy ricecake) and hanwoo (korean beef)
In Asia, Japan and Korea are the best places to live and travel. Wherever you go, you can easily find delicious, high-quality food and a place to sleep, and transportation is convenient. It is also relatively safe.
Seoul's my favourite city on the planet, once you've been you don't see the rest of the world the same way. Extremely modern, clean & safe, the best food and also has the best people. Koreans go out their way to make sure you feel welcome and have a good time. Always an amazing atmosphere wherever you are in the city. Whether it's being around the bouncing nightlife districts or chilling in the park at night having some chicken & beer. Can't wait to go back, hoping to live there full time next year
This was so fun to watch! I love Seoul so much. We are on Jeju island but are going to visit Seoul next month. This made me extra excited. Korean Air is also my favourite airline. Seoul is just such a great city!
39:11 The lights on the sidewalk is for people who use their mobile phones and look down. It tells them when to cross the sidewalk without having to lift their head up.
Wow. I got homesick after watching this video. I miss my country. So clean, safe, fast, and convenient. Lots of varieties going on. Thank you so much for traveling and showing us Korea.
I agree on Korean Airlines. My favorite airlines. Took it twice, once to Hong Kong and last one was to South Korea. First time, the flight attendant thought we were body builders and kept feeding us. Food was good and also hadel Hite beer.
I'm having a marathon of watching your South Korea videos! :) Your videos helped prepare me for my trip 2 months ago! I had the best and easiest time thanks to you and your videos! :) I haven't ever flown before either so the airport experience was hard, but luckily I have a friend who got there a few days before me, so I video chatted with her while she helped guide me through the airport. lol
been to Japan 3 times amazing country but i want to experience south korea now . hopefully i can go sometimes next year ! . getting excited just by watching your video ! . hello from Canada
One thing I love about Korea was how intuitive and easy-to-figure-out the subway systems were. I caught onto it and got around everywhere I wanted to go like in a few minutes. I find the subways in similar systems like Tokyo were super confusing and I was getting lost a lot. Maybe I’m just dumb.
because Japan has govt owned subways and private company owned subways. It can be fucking expensive when you use private lines. Korean subway is pretty much flat fee. it takes 2 min for each station. So you know it will take 20 min for 10 stations. I'v never experienced a delay in my life because if it happens, it would be a national news and I bet employees will get fucked big time. Oh did I tell you it's a great place to fucking SLEEP? It's very chill during summer and very warm during winter. Everybody fucking sleeps. It's a magic you somehow wake up right before you have to get off! In other countries, people can't understand this concept like a caveman looking at the smartphone. They think I am lying if I talk about this WHY???? because in their country, people get robbed for sure if you sleep in the subway! HAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH
I will say hearing all the blackpink in the background when you were at Myeongdong night market made me so happy haha blackpink is one of my fav k pop groups :)
This TH-camr's English pronunciation is so accurate that it is very helpful for studying English learning listening. Next time, visit Busan, too! Welcome to Seoul
Koreans don't go to Myeongdong because the street food is expensive and not tasty, but it makes me sad that foreigners pay a lot of money to eat food in Myeongdong. enjoy your trip. Your video is fun and worth watching. I love your travel stories.
Many Korean go to Myeongdong too. Myeongdong is the 9th most expensive area in the world and is a tourist destination Myeongdong street food is a little more expensive than other parts of Korea on average, but there are many kinds of street food and it is delicious
Yeah Myeongdong is too overrated in my opinion. Born and raised in Korea, I've never seen any Korean wants to hang out at Myeongdong😅I mean there are sooo many great travel spots in Seoul! If I had foreign friends, not gonna take'em to Myeongdong for sure.
I don't think so. Myeong-dong has long been a popular downtown for Koreans before foreigners flocked to it. Myeongdong is a shopping paradise. Many Korean couples go to Myeongdong on Christmas
@@개털-p5oDo you have a shop in Myeongdong or something? Lol sure it used to be popular for locals before, but if you go there now it’s just full of tourists…. I meet my friends in Euljiro or Jongno a lot to hang out, but never myeongdong.
Still amazes me people do not even know where Korea is. Great travel destination. Clean and safe--and yes, food heaven. It's quality, price and diversity is awesome.
Welcome to Korea! That was tteok, which was included in the marinated fried chicken you tried on the street. Tteok is a sticky rice cake, and it's also used in Tteokbokki, one of Korea's favorite street foods."
What you had with chicken is not a cheese. It taste like cheese, but it is tteok(Korean rice pasta, only made with rice) actually. Tteokbokki is also made of that. You should try it. It is a real Korean street food, I could say it is a soul food to Koreans.
Zane! The korean alphabet is one of the easiest scripts in the world to learn how to read! It takes less than an hour to learn how to read korean! Sejong the Great had the script created specifically to make reading easier and replace chinese characters. Of course, you won't know what the words mean, but a lot of korean words come from english so you might understand more than you think! I highly recommend watching some youtube videos that teach you how to read this beautiful script.
Hi Zane, welcome to Korea! During sunset or at night, visit DDP first and walk all the way up north to Naksan Park, following the Seoul fortress wall, leaving Heunginjimun (Dongdaemun, one of the eight gates of Seoul) behind. It's a beautiful and romantic place, which I highly recommend to try at night. Walk all the way to the observation deck 2 and descend towards Hyehwa-dong to get dinner and take subway. This is a very easy trail. Hope you enjoy. I love your videos! I believe what sets Seoul apart from other cities is its beautiful surrounding mountains, combined with the ease of access to them. Another hiking trail I highly recommend takes you to the summit of Inwangsan, following the path of the Seoul fortress wall (again^^). Along this trail, you'll be treated to a nice view of the cityscape and the opportunity to experience a bit of mountain hiking that Koreans love to do. Plan your hike during the daytime. I think the autumn season, with its clear skies, offers the ideal conditions to appreciate the natural beauty of Seoul. You can start the walk from the exit 3 of Dongnimmun subway station. Another suggestion is a visit to Seoul Sky, which is the tallest observatory in Korea. You may think it is just one of touristy places, but it's not! During the autumn season, when the skies are clear and visibility is at its best, it's a must-see destination! (If skies are gloomy and foggy, don't go) Make sure to visit during the daytime. And don't forget to take a stroll around Seokchon Lake at night. It's right next to Seoul Sky.
Seoul is one of my favorite big cities in the world. I recommend an evening Han river cruise, hiking (though I was there when it was cooler, I hear it's oppressive in summer), and the meerkat cafe. So much to do though - enjoy your time!!
Don't just go where everyone else goes. Go to places that everyone else doesn't. The reason why it's okay to do that is because Korea is mostly safe. :)
that is what I'm about to talk. Seoul and the place nearby the city, is insanely huge to travel and there's a lot to experience, and you don't have to worry because it is always safe even if it is late night, the stores never rip off the price, citizens don't steal your stuffs.
As a Korean, I enjoyed watch this video and it was good to see how you feel about our country for the first look. And 35:35 it is not cheese, it is rice cake.
Someone may have already said it, but the chicken dish you got had rice cakes, not cheese. It's my favorite Korean street food. Sooo good! Beware, anything covered in red sauce is spicy, haha. There's this amazing place in Bundang (just slightly outside of Seoul) that is my favorite Korean fried chicken ever...but it's in my old neighborhood and kind of hard to direct you to. I'm not even sure that she survived the pandemic. But I'd be happy to tell you the address if you were interested. Edit: For anyone interested it's 봉킨 버거 in 정자 분당구 (Bongkin Burger -and chicken - in Jeonga, Bundang. This is on the red line about 15 minutes outside of Seoul. It's in the older neighborhoods on the other side of the river. Or at least it was. I haven't been back to Korea since 2019. I'll be heading back in the Spring and will see if it's still there at that point.)
As a Korean born and raised in Seoul (and has been living in Seoul over 50 years 😊), I have to tell you that Seoul is simply too vast to explore in a few days. Even for me (someone with over 50 years of living experience in this big city), there are some areas that I heard about but have never been to, or have not been to since 1990's 😅 -- that's how big and varied this city is! My advice is that even when you are mistreated (which could happen), or were not satisfied with the city (which could also happen), keep in mind that what you experienced in a few days may not be the complete representation of Seoul. Just like any othe big cities in the world (e.g., New York, London, Tokyo), there are dark sides and bright sides. FYI, the total size of New York City (according to Wikipedia) is 778.2 square kilometers (300.46 square miles) and that of Seoul is 605.21 square kilometers (376 square miles). But having lived in both Seoul and New York City, I believe that Seoul is bigger in terms of size -- I don't know how Wikipedia got such numbers 😅
I have been following you since your Thailand journey. I always wondered when will you go to Korea. Im a BTS army and for me Korea is my dream country. Im saving hoping to make it next year. Could you leave details about where you booked the room from and how much you paid per night in WON.
I am going to Korea next year and I am BTS Army too!. I haven't been to Korea so many years that Korea is almost a foreign country for me now. You should stay out of Myeongdong area like most of foreigners do often make a mistake to visit. Locals don't go there at all cause foods overrated, very crowded, and much more expensive. Hopefully you can have a opportunity to visit hometown of BTS soon. Not only staying in Seoul, recommend to visit Busan - hometown of Jimin & JK, Jeonju - mecca of foodies in S.Korea, Gangneung- in which "The famous bus station from the MV Spring day".
@@Dima-xu2qw I'm sure they do have a life apart from their favorite groups. Otherwise, they wouldn't have the money to travel. Someone sounds like they are jealous. There is more to life than being toxic.
I'm Korean, but I've only been to Seoul once because I live in Busan! Like other comments, Seoul is incomparably more advanced than other cities and seems like a new world. Looking at the video, I miss the busy streets among the huge buildings🥹 I hope many foreigners come to Busan and enjoy the night sea and drinking culture✨
But he mentioned S.Korea GDP per capita is high & even higher than USA & UK which is not true🤭 Singapore is the one with highest GDP per capita in ASIA for last 3 decades, thats why singapore been ranked richest in asia & is world no.3 richest🇸🇬..S.korea GDP per capita is not even closed to singapore GDP figure,they are about 3 times LOWER than Singapore😂Same thing for S.korea avg salary is about 2-3 times lower than singapore❤
Ahhh I love watching people come here for the first time it reminds me of my first time 12 years ago 😅 The tiny towels were such a shock!! But definitely more comfortable now lol I hope you enjoyed your time here and please visit again !!
34:57 Looks authentic! Just a quick correction - those small white blocks you found in K-chicken, are called Ttok(떡, Rice cake). They are initally came out as a long stick shape and Koreans chop them out into pieces and mix them up within various cuisines - i.e. Tteokbokki(떡볶이, Hot and spicy rice cake). Hope you enjoyed the most in Korea!
Im korean livin in seoul, here’s ma recommendations 1. Seongsu (a lot of restaurants, cafe, near han river, also near seoul forest. Popular among young koreans) 2. Bukchon(you can see many hanok there) 3. Yeonnamdong(near hondae, many shops, restaurant) 4. Seochon(near gyeongbokgung station, i hope u visit bar cham or bar cobbler there. Its cooool) Actually myeongdong is only popular among foreigners i guess. LOL😂 But if u have plan to visit myeongdong again, i can recommend u bar sookhee, they serve many korean style cocktail, and all of the cocktails are delicious. If u need more recommendation just contact me! Welcome to Korea🎉
@@Darth-xr5vrummmm i think most of Korean do not expect foreigners to speak Korean cuz we know Korean is bit difficult, but Korean tends to be more friendly to american who can speak Korean. But still not that important i guess. And i dont know how much time will u spend on studying korean, but here’s a thing, Daegu dialect is quite hard to understand for foreigners, so people can understand u when u use korean, but u may not understand when they saying i guess… but some of the youngsters in daegu can speak english(i guess..) so no problem!
Many of the land tours starting point is at myeongdong station. That is why I consider staying there when I visit. Is there a better location for tourists to stay in? I mean near attractions, reasonably priced food etc….
I'm a Korean) It's really nice to know the foreigner's view and opinion through this video. Thank you and I hope you enjoyed Korea and go back to your country safely. Have a nice day:)
South Korea 🇰🇷 has some very tasty 😋 delicious food of a grand dominated spectacular perfectly places to see an watch to snack 😋 flavor 😋 food. My great information for today. Have a great fabulous wonderful day.😀😊
Happy to say I'm going back there in March. Just found your vlogs - many thanks! Def intending to do KTX down to Busan this time. And I've still got my T-money card from last visit. 🇰🇷👍
I worked there for 4 years. 1 year a teacher, then 3 years a contracts manager at a shipyard. Jumping on the plane, I opened the WSJ.. all these companies I had never heard of. An entirely new world. Plus I was on a Korean drama TV show. :) I played poker vs the main character and won. I was the villain waygook. I miss korea. Just had Korean food myself here in Thailand.
I booked a random impulsive 3 day trip to Korea towards the end of my next trip to Japan😅 also no idea of what to expect or how to get around. Life’s an adventure! Thanks for sharing yours!❤
4:55 You had to charge T-money here like 50k KRW in your T-money card you received with the USIM. With that T-money you could pay the subway, the bus and even the taxi. And you can pay with it in the convenient stores too.
I dont think it is best to take subway bec it is time consuming. The limousine bus in the airport, though a bit pricey, is fast and efficient. Also there is an express train from Incheon to Seoul Station also a bit pricey. But since you are not in a hurry, subway is ok.
Love your video!!! Your comments in the video made me watch till the end... Don't worry about street music coming out of random stores, your voice is still clear and not bothered, actually it helps to understand the surroundings better. =)
Thanks for the informative video. Isn't it better to take the express train to get the Seoul station? That's probably why there were less people on the train you took.
Welcome to my hometown and home country! I love Seoul and I'm very, very glad you do too. Korea is far from just Seoul though -- lots of other wonderful places to visit. My favourites are the other staples Busan (plus some regions more inland), Incheon, and Jeju as well as other "lesser known" places like Yeosu, Gyeongji, Jeonju, Seoraksan Nat'l Park... all great gems. Edit: Also the subway systems (for places with one) are very nice. Clean, timely (most of the time anyway lol), and well organised.
you should learn hangul! its very easy to learn the basics, much easier than most asian languages. It can take almost 20 min to learn the basic sounds and somewhat pronounce the written form
This video is incredibly helpful for navigating Korea. Haven't been since '92, hope to visit soon. You're great at this. Best of luck with your channel. Subscribed.
34:59 This is 'tteok'(rice cake), not cheese. 29:49 It is a different shape of tteok like this. Sometimes, warm tteok have a similar texture to cheese😋

Wow everyday, amazing, maybe you were Korean in a past life?
11:47 that passerby stepping in out of nowhere to help you without you even asking for help is what I love about traveling to Korea. Their general attitude towards foreigners is more welcoming and open than other East Asian countries in my experience. Also, Korea, like Japan, does not have trash bins out in public. Best practice is to carry a small plastic bag with you to collect your day's trash and sort it properly when you get home.
thank you for saying nice thing for Korea :)

Living in US, I had visited Korea & Japan in December of last year after nearly 16 years of hiatus, and it felt so new to me, and it's so cool that your experience reminds me of that feeling again but with a fresh set of eyes. It's always interesting to see how a non-native Korean sees Korea. ;-) Thanks for the video.
Was Japan more attractive to you or Korea?❤
@@پریسامحمدی-ح3ط Each has its own character that are different from each other. I find both attractive in its own way. Koreans tend to be more openly expressive, and Japanese less so.

서울은 몇달 살아보기 괜찮은 도시입니다. 편리하고 깨끗하고 밤에도 대체로 안전한 도시에서 여행하며 즐겨보세요. 한강 근처에 숙박하며, 아침마다 조깅을 즐기는 것을 추천합니다. 가을은 특히 좋은 계절입니다.

The white thing you ate with the chicken is not cheese. It is rice cake. For korean fried chicken joint, I personally like pelicana or bbq chicken. Also try tteokbokki (spicy ricecake) and hanwoo (korean beef)
In Asia, Japan and Korea are the best places to live and travel. Wherever you go, you can easily find delicious, high-quality food and a place to sleep, and transportation is convenient. It is also relatively safe.

Seoul's my favourite city on the planet, once you've been you don't see the rest of the world the same way. Extremely modern, clean & safe, the best food and also has the best people. Koreans go out their way to make sure you feel welcome and have a good time. Always an amazing atmosphere wherever you are in the city. Whether it's being around the bouncing nightlife districts or chilling in the park at night having some chicken & beer. Can't wait to go back, hoping to live there full time next year

One thing I love about Korea was how intuitive and easy-to-figure-out the subway systems were. I caught onto it and got around everywhere I wanted to go like in a few minutes. I find the subways in similar systems like Tokyo were super confusing and I was getting lost a lot. Maybe I’m just dumb.
No, you are not dumb. I saw other youtubers said the Japanese subway system is super confusing.
I got lost a lot in Japanese subway station, too.
Japanese people also get lost if they make an appointment at Shinjuku Station
because Japan has govt owned subways and private company owned subways. It can be fucking expensive when you use private lines. Korean subway is pretty much flat fee. it takes 2 min for each station. So you know it will take 20 min for 10 stations. I'v never experienced a delay in my life because if it happens, it would be a national news and I bet employees will get fucked big time. Oh did I tell you it's a great place to fucking SLEEP? It's very chill during summer and very warm during winter. Everybody fucking sleeps. It's a magic you somehow wake up right before you have to get off! In other countries, people can't understand this concept like a caveman looking at the smartphone. They think I am lying if I talk about this WHY???? because in their country, people get robbed for sure if you sleep in the subway!

I highly recommend you to go to Han River. You can ride a bike and go for a walk along the riverside. So beautiful!
Koreans don't go to Myeongdong because the street food is expensive and not tasty, but it makes me sad that foreigners pay a lot of money to eat food in Myeongdong. enjoy your trip. Your video is fun and worth watching. I love your travel stories.
Many Korean go to Myeongdong too.
Myeongdong is the 9th most expensive area in the world and is a tourist destination Myeongdong street food is a little more expensive than other parts of Korea on average, but there are many kinds of street food and it is delicious
Yeah Myeongdong is too overrated in my opinion. Born and raised in Korea, I've never seen any Korean wants to hang out at Myeongdong😅I mean there are sooo many great travel spots in Seoul! If I had foreign friends, not gonna take'em to Myeongdong for sure.
I don't think so.
Myeong-dong has long been a popular downtown for Koreans before foreigners flocked to it. Myeongdong is a shopping paradise. Many Korean couples go to Myeongdong on Christmas

Welcome to Korea! That was tteok, which was included in the marinated fried chicken you tried on the street. Tteok is a sticky rice cake, and it's also used in Tteokbokki, one of Korea's favorite street foods."
What you had with chicken is not a cheese. It taste like cheese, but it is tteok(Korean rice pasta, only made with rice) actually. Tteokbokki is also made of that. You should try it. It is a real Korean street food, I could say it is a soul food to Koreans.

I couldn't imagine how it would feel when someone else came to Korea, but thanks to you, my country was seen anew. I hope you had a good time:)
Zane! The korean alphabet is one of the easiest scripts in the world to learn how to read! It takes less than an hour to learn how to read korean! Sejong the Great had the script created specifically to make reading easier and replace chinese characters. Of course, you won't know what the words mean, but a lot of korean words come from english so you might understand more than you think! I highly recommend watching some youtube videos that teach you how to read this beautiful script.
Hi Zane, welcome to Korea! During sunset or at night, visit DDP first and walk all the way up north to Naksan Park, following the Seoul fortress wall, leaving Heunginjimun (Dongdaemun, one of the eight gates of Seoul) behind. It's a beautiful and romantic place, which I highly recommend to try at night. Walk all the way to the observation deck 2 and descend towards Hyehwa-dong to get dinner and take subway. This is a very easy trail. Hope you enjoy. I love your videos!
I believe what sets Seoul apart from other cities is its beautiful surrounding mountains, combined with the ease of access to them.
Another hiking trail I highly recommend takes you to the summit of Inwangsan, following the path of the Seoul fortress wall (again^^). Along this trail, you'll be treated to a nice view of the cityscape and the opportunity to experience a bit of mountain hiking that Koreans love to do. Plan your hike during the daytime. I think the autumn season, with its clear skies, offers the ideal conditions to appreciate the natural beauty of Seoul. You can start the walk from the exit 3 of Dongnimmun subway station.
Another suggestion is a visit to Seoul Sky, which is the tallest observatory in Korea. You may think it is just one of touristy places, but it's not! During the autumn season, when the skies are clear and visibility is at its best, it's a must-see destination! (If skies are gloomy and foggy, don't go) Make sure to visit during the daytime. And don't forget to take a stroll around Seokchon Lake at night. It's right next to Seoul Sky.

Seoul is one of my favorite big cities in the world. I recommend an evening Han river cruise, hiking (though I was there when it was cooler, I hear it's oppressive in summer), and the meerkat cafe. So much to do though - enjoy your time!!
Don't just go where everyone else goes. Go to places that everyone else doesn't. The reason why it's okay to do that is because Korea is mostly safe. :)
that is what I'm about to talk. Seoul and the place nearby the city, is insanely huge to travel and there's a lot to experience, and you don't have to worry because it is always safe even if it is late night, the stores never rip off the price, citizens don't steal your stuffs.
As a Korean, I enjoyed watch this video and it was good to see how you feel about our country for the first look. And 35:35 it is not cheese, it is rice cake.
Someone may have already said it, but the chicken dish you got had rice cakes, not cheese. It's my favorite Korean street food. Sooo good! Beware, anything covered in red sauce is spicy, haha. There's this amazing place in Bundang (just slightly outside of Seoul) that is my favorite Korean fried chicken ever...but it's in my old neighborhood and kind of hard to direct you to. I'm not even sure that she survived the pandemic. But I'd be happy to tell you the address if you were interested. Edit: For anyone interested it's 봉킨 버거 in 정자 분당구 (Bongkin Burger -and chicken - in Jeonga, Bundang. This is on the red line about 15 minutes outside of Seoul. It's in the older neighborhoods on the other side of the river. Or at least it was. I haven't been back to Korea since 2019. I'll be heading back in the Spring and will see if it's still there at that point.)
yeah exactly. what he had was rice cakes.

As a Korean born and raised in Seoul (and has been living in Seoul over 50 years 😊), I have to tell you that Seoul is simply too vast to explore in a few days. Even for me (someone with over 50 years of living experience in this big city), there are some areas that I heard about but have never been to, or have not been to since 1990's 😅 -- that's how big and varied this city is! My advice is that even when you are mistreated (which could happen), or were not satisfied with the city (which could also happen), keep in mind that what you experienced in a few days may not be the complete representation of Seoul. Just like any othe big cities in the world (e.g., New York, London, Tokyo), there are dark sides and bright sides. FYI, the total size of New York City (according to Wikipedia) is 778.2 square kilometers (300.46 square miles) and that of Seoul is 605.21 square kilometers (376 square miles). But having lived in both Seoul and New York City, I believe that Seoul is bigger in terms of size -- I don't know how Wikipedia got such numbers 😅

I have been following you since your Thailand journey. I always wondered when will you go to Korea. Im a BTS army and for me Korea is my dream country. Im saving hoping to make it next year. Could you leave details about where you booked the room from and how much you paid per night in WON.
I am going to Korea next year and I am BTS Army too!. I haven't been to Korea so many years that Korea is almost a foreign country for me now. You should stay out of Myeongdong area like most of foreigners do often make a mistake to visit. Locals don't go there at all cause foods overrated, very crowded, and much more expensive.
Hopefully you can have a opportunity to visit hometown of BTS soon. Not only staying in Seoul, recommend to visit Busan - hometown of Jimin & JK, Jeonju - mecca of foodies in S.Korea, Gangneung- in which "The famous bus station from the MV Spring day".

Many of the land tours starting point is at myeongdong station. That is why I consider staying there when I visit. Is there a better location for tourists to stay in? I mean near attractions, reasonably priced food etc….

I dont think it is best to take subway bec it is time consuming. The limousine bus in the airport, though a bit pricey, is fast and efficient. Also there is an express train from Incheon to Seoul Station also a bit pricey. But since you are not in a hurry, subway is ok.
