Places we visit include Seoul, Incheon, Seoul Day Trips, Busan, Danyang, Hahoe, Haeinsa Temple, and Jeonju! While Seoul and Busan have a lot to offer and are arguably THE most popular cities in South Korea, there are tons of opportunities to get off the beaten path in Korea! Danyang and Hahoe might have been our favorite cities to experience in Korea. Grab a snack for this ultimate-sized travel video that covers 2 weeks in South Korea!

영상 진짜 멋져요!!! 거기에 자막까지!!! 잘봤어요!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
환영합니다~
You did a great job producing the video.
I was born in Kumamoto, grew up in Nagasaki, got married in Tokyo, and now live in Yokohama. I am a mechanical engineer in the shipbuilding industry and because of my job, I have visited Korea more than 200 times since 1982 and Korea is like a second home to me. Your videos are always excellent, as is Nagasaki's, and in this video of your visit to Korea, thank you very much for capturing images of Korea, especially Hahoe, that for me are nostalgic, sentimental, and appetizing for the traditional food.
우와!사진이 월드급입니다 우리도 놓치는 곳곳을 이런 아름다운 색광과 구도로 표현하신것이랑 무엇보다 코리아에 대한 따뜻한 시각으로 한국의 격을 높인 부부입니다 수고했습니다!
와우
한국관광공사에서 촬영한건가요?
울 나라가 이리 이뻤나?
미처 몰랐네요🎉🎉🎉
한국은 서울보다 부산이 가볼만한곳이 많습니다 서울은 인위적으로 가볼만한곳을 만들어서 1-2번 가면 실증이 나고 부산은 해얀절벽과 바닷가 다양하게 가볼만한 곳이 있읍니다 물가도 저렴하고 한국 수도를 부산으로 이전해서 관광국가로 만들어야 하는데 .. 서울인구 집중 포화로 망해 가는 한국 …
방송국서 촬영한거 같아요 찐 로컬
Welcome to Korea!! Your videos are beautiful and it’s one of the best foreign Youtuber videos about Korea. Most people go to Myeomgdong Hongdae areas but you have shown other hidden gems of Korea. Thank you.
아름다운 영상입니다 알찬구성이 정규프로수준방송인것 같네요~~디스커버리같은~~
광장 시장은 비추천.
구글에서 잘 못 안내하고 있군요.
방송국에서 누가 일하셨었나 봅니다 굿굿 ㅋㅋㅋ

For anyone wondering, "Gung/Goong" means palace so if you're saying Gyeondokgung Palace or Cheongdeokgung Palace, you're saying Cheongdeok Palace Palace. 🙂 You can just say Cheongdok Palace. For Hongdae, pronounce Hong like you would Hong Kong. It's not exactly the same, but it's close 🙂 As for the lack of trash cans, it's because of the trash system they have in place. You pay a fee per weight or how much you throw away and a lot of people didn't want to pay the fee, so they were throwing their household items away in public trash cans. So, the government removed the majority of public trash cans to avoid that issue. You can always find them in the subway stations, though. As for the snack you were surprised you hadn't run into before…you did! You just didn't know it, haha. It's all over Korea and it's called Hotteok. It's sooo good. You didn't get to spend much time in Gwangjang Market, but they have it there.
영상 잘 보았습니다. 정말로 문화관광부로부터 표창 받을 만한 영상과해설 돗보이네요.감사합니다.안동 하회마을 담장 호박같은 식물은 박이라 합니다.한국 전통 일명 바가지 입니다.잘 보고 시간 가는줄 몰랐습니다. 감사합니다.
진정 그 아이를 위하는
선생이라면 한탄만할게 아니라
직접 발로 뛰어야지. 아이도 마찬가지.
나는 찢어지게 가난한 시골집안의 장남.
최소한의 금액으로 진학하기위해
학교도 부산의 유명한 실업계 고등학교로 택했다.
국립이라 국가에서 주는 장학금으로 학비.기숙사비 걱정없이 공부에 전념할수 있었다. 고3이 되자 대학진학의 꿈이 생겼다. 나는 선생님께 도움을 요청했고,
선생님은 나에게 방법을 알려주셨다.
중학시절과 고교2년간의 성적표를 들고 선배님들이 경영하는 회사들을 몇군데 돌기 시작했다.
마침내 한곳에서 연락이 왔다. 4년간 학비를 대주겠다는 반가운 소식이었다.
그 회사의 회장님역시 어려운 가정의 출신으로 설움을 겪으며 자수성가 하신분이다.
조건은 아무것도 없었다.

당신을 한국관광공사 홍보대사로 임명합니다…
한국에 대하여, 한국을 정말 제대로 소개한 영상입니다. 다시 기회가 주어진다면, 한국의 산에 대해서도 소개할 수 있으면 더욱 좋겠습니다. 감사합니다.
OMG,You guys are fantastic.I LUV your VID,
thank you for visiting Korea and introducing Korea to the future foreign visitors so beautifully.
Thank you for this incredible tour of Korea- amazing!
Watching this helps because im coming in November
두분 늘 건강하세요
행복하세요 ^^
한국을 사랑하고 소개해 주셔서 감사합니다.
Koreans eat dogs and cats
❤
Really enjoy your video. Can you share information on how to purchase K-pop ticket, as foreigner. Will be there in the Fall and would like to attend a concert.
Was this in 2022?
So far this is the BEST itinerary that includes something new, thank you! I was not aware of the folk village and museums, everyone else just recommends the usual stuff and as a second timer I finally found a couple of new things to do!
Your FIRST pork belly?!! Better late than never 😂
Ooh I hope to go back to Seoul someday!
what platform did you use to buy k-pop concert tickets? keen to do the same!
정말 대단한 유투버입니다 !!!
40:44 There have been several attempts to form mixed boy+girl K-pop groups, but few have been successful. Marketing male and female members together is challenging, and due to the nature of fandoms, the way fans perceive a group can vary significantly depending on gender. The K-pop idol market in Korea is extremely competitive, and achieving success is difficult. Even with years of preparation and significant investment, there are far more groups that fail to gain attention and disappear than those that succeed. This is why entertainment companies tend to avoid creating mixed-gender groups, as the risk of failure is higher.
46:23 In Korea, there aren't many trash cans on the streets. While Koreans are used to it and don’t find it too inconvenient, it can be challenging for foreigners. This is mainly because Korea practices strict recycling. For small trash, you can dispose of it at public places like convenience stores, cafes, or subway station restrooms. There are many convenience stores in Korea. If you politely ask, the staff will likely smile and guide you. Just make sure not to bring an excessive amount of trash!
1:43:04 Jeonju bibimbap isn’t famous because it was the first place where bibimbap was eaten. Jeonju has long been known as a fertile agricultural region. Thanks to the favorable conditions, including a mild climate, few natural disasters, and abundant water resources from nearby rivers, crops grow well here. This environment allows Jeonju to produce high-quality rice and other ingredients like fresh vegetables, which are key components of bibimbap. Because of these factors, Jeonju bibimbap became famous and established itself as a traditional dish over time.
There is a slight difference between regular bibimbap and Jeonju bibimbap. Jeonju bibimbap places a strong emphasis on the harmony of specific ingredients. Essential toppings include a variety of seasoned vegetables, egg, bean sprouts, yellow mung bean jelly (hwangpomuk), and raw beef (yukhoe), all carefully arranged for both flavor and visual appeal. Even if you’re in Jeonju, if the bibimbap doesn’t specifically say “Jeonju bibimbap,” it might be missing some of these key elements.
maybe It seems that the Jeonju Bibimbap Festival focuses more on experiencing, making, and learning about the history and culture of bibimbap rather than specifically the original ‘Jeonju bibimbap.’ It felt more like an educational and hands-on festival.
Besides bibimbap, Jeonju is also known for Jeonju bean sprout soup (kongnamul gukbap), which you can find all over Korea, not just in Jeonju. There are hundreds of bean sprout soup restaurants across the country, so if you visit Korea again, be sure to try it! It’s easy to find even in Seoul. However, it’s a shame that you didn’t visit an original Jeonju restaurant that specializes in Jeonju bibimbap or bean sprout soup during your trip, as you might have had an even more authentic experience! 🥲
Well done. Lot's of coverage, with stops at not-so-well traveled places. Nuts and bolts, like a Rick Steves' PBS drop.
