Thanks you guys for this remarkable video about Seoul, South Korea this weekend in December of 2022❤❤❤I really LOVE this great video in joy 2022❤❤❤
1:05 Korea actually used to suppress Tea culture for about 500+ years as a part of the oppression on Buddhism under the Confucianism's rule. And I think that's why they could absorb coffee culture very quickly right after the west came. Joseon dynasty's confucianist governers thought teatime was an extravagant which had been maintained by sacrificing the peasants. They thought it was one of many factors of the corruption during the former Buddhist dynasty, Goryeo. So Korea already had lost most part of its former tea culture way before the west arrived.
The reason tea culture is not that widespread in Korea compared to china is that historically and geographically the water in Korea is impeccably clean and naturally purified. While in china people drink tea to remove the impurities in water while boiling them. Btw I really enjoyed your video and hope you have a wonderful time!
이게 정답임...물이 깨끗해서 굳이 차를 만들어 먹을필요가 없는것.
@@DawnMir During the reign of King Seongjong there was a shortage of silk in Korea, while there was an over-abundance of tea plantations and the water quality was naturally good. So he ordered that the tea plantations turned into mulberry orchards leaving just some of them. It was not that it was 'very hard for commoners to drink tea' because tea was 'exclusive item for the royalty and the Buddhist monks.' It was just that tea was not around much in Korea because it was not grown much.
Another 국뽕 making up fake story about Korea! “Naturally purified water” 😂 unlike Japan or China, Korea was a dirt poor country!!! 78%of population was a 노비 (slave) class! People didn’t have the luxury of drinking tea!!! Stop making up lies about how awesome Korea was!!!
이게 정확함
주접 떠네.차문화는 불교문화와 가까워 유교문화가 발흥인지 발정인지 모르게 사회 상층을 덮은 조선 사회에서 한계를 보였음.물이 깨끗한게 아니라 차를 마시는 문화가 전반적으로 퍼지질 않았다. 끽해야 사찰등에서나 행하던 문화였음.
The food in Korea was amazing. Spent 3 weeks there and had amazing meals every single day.
100%! The food is top notch, and when you dig down, there's such an impressive variety to choose from.
I live and teach in South Korea. I get served fabulous Korean food every school day. It's a hard life, but someone's gotta do it!! 😁😁
@@fransmith3255 indeed, somebody's gotta do it! 🤣 happy for you!
Exactly, these two don't seem very worldly, especially the guy. Look at the way he puts food in his mouth. Bizarre.
Is it all noodles and vegetables and strange slimey things? I know thats a rough question, but, i love korean food, but for a 2 month holiday im sure il need western food for a change.
Not westernized it’s modernized
Good point - definitely a distinction that should be made
It's partially westernized too.
its westernized somewhat as well. Dont deny
I agree with modernized. Japan, South Korea, China and Singapore etc are not western and a lot Seoul's advance tech and architecture comes from there.
@@Wvk5zcWhen I was in Canada, there were no “westernized components” which I have experienced in Korea.
I am really surprised that you couldn't find good food in Korea! Most people when they visit Korea they absolutely love Korean food! I've lived there for 5 years and loved Korea food - don't understand why you guys thought every restaurant smelt rancid! Perhaps you guys just aren't suited to Korean food - still very surprised!
I appreciate that they were honest... but seriously, the food is amazing 😂
@@FlavorofMind i don't think they have tried right food as a beginner for Korean food.
@@heavenhaven7254 good point!
Maybe it's an acquired taste. The US korean food is probably tweeked to accomodate American taste. They do that all the time. The traditional american food is tasteless, full of fat and sugar. But then, there's so much international cuisine in the US. They all just get mixed up anyway. I'm used yo asian food and I like korean food. My hubby isn't asian and he never developed taste for korean food despite living in korea for years.
@@babypanda0201 I must say, I agree about 'traditional' American food 😅
S Korea has developed so so fast from the scratch to the current status. Naturally, the life tempo in Korea is amazingly fast, especially in Seoul.
So, if you sought to make friends or communication with locals, not easy for such a short time. Everybody there is just busy. Longer staying, you will find different facades.
Very accurate assessment - people are always busy hustling in Seoul! But if you can get to know them over time, they're often very warm people 🙂
@@FlavorofMind Exactly. I live in South Korea and that's one of my favourite things about Korean people - their warmth and kindness. And honestly, tourists would find that in every country. People in any country are doing their own thing and living their lives (just like everyone else does) - they don't stop to make friends with tourists. I'm not sure exactly what they expected...people to stop their day and idolise them like popstars or something? I'm Australian, a country where tourism is a major thing, and we're regarded as friendly apparently, but we don't stop to idolise tourists, either. 🤣
@@fransmith3255 well said! And glad that your time in Korea has also been a positive experience!
My korean fiance is incredibly polite but such a cold person due to business to everyone but with me his the sweetest teddybear ever
@@fransmith3255 호주는 카타르나 사우디아라비아처럼 자원이 많고 인구가 적어서 한국처럼 치열하게 열심히 일할 필요가 없는 나라.
Seoul is like NY, you have to know where to go. Winter is also not a good time
We figured! Being able to meet our friend for dinner made the whole day so I'd say Seoul is 100% better with a local 😄
A lot of food in Korea uses kimchi which is spicy fermented cabbage, that's the smell you are noting when you go into restaurants. People either seem to like it or not enjoy it. Doesn't mean the food is bad, but fermentation is a huge part of Korean cuisine, and that's also what makes Korean food really healthy. Glad you tried it regardless!
My husband and I went to work in Korea in 1998 and lived there until 2018. In 1998 it was next to impossible to get a decent cup of coffee....but Koreans (this is a generalization...of course)...tend to be very all or nothing, so when they got into coffee...they REALLY got into it. We initially worked in Gangnam ...it is THE business district. The other side dish that you weren’t sure of is ‘gakttuki’...white radish kimchee...there are lots of kinds of kimchee, not just cabbage. It was an interesting place to live....but a VERY competitive society.
Bibimbap literally means mixed..you're supposed to mix it
A little google search goes a long way
Would probably help if a spoon was used to consume it as well.. but what the hell...
And she didn't seem to use gochujang sauce at all....
....after 20 years in Korea still one of my favourite dishes....and I love the crunchy ‘narunji’.😊
@@ryuhyang658 they probably like ketchup and mayonnaise
Please do some research before choosing a place to eat and how to eat a dish properly.
Even as a Korean who lives in a province other than Seoul, I research restaurants in advance when I travel to Seoul
Historycally, water in Korea has been very clean. Koreans did not need tea culture to clean the drinking water.
In that part of the water S. Korea has the best water. China drink tea daily for meal probably due to wok cooked food with a lot of oil to wash down after meal.
I think you mean how “Modern” is South Korea. Westernization and Modernization are not the same thing, otherwise you would have say countries like the United Arab Emirates are Western as well.
We can say that South Korea is very modern in that it’s Top 10 Exports are:
Electrical machinery, equipment: US$184.6 billion (30.5% of total exports)
Machinery including computers: $77.7 billion (12.8%)
Vehicles: $61.2 billion (10.1%)
Mineral fuels including oil: $48.2 billion (8%)
Plastics, plastic articles: $34.9 billion (5.8%)
Optical, technical, medical apparatus: $27.8 billion (4.6%)
Organic chemicals: $25.4 billion (4.2%)
Iron, steel: $24.8 billion (4.1%)
Ships, boats: $20.3 billion (3.4%)
Articles of iron or steel: $10.5 billion (1.7%)
Source: South Korea’s Top 10 Exports
We could also say that South Korea is Modern to the extant that many of the worlds electronics are made from Samsung, which is a popular international cooperation from South Korea.
Source: Samsung Electronics already set to sweep the 2012 CES
Now, in case you actually are asking how “Westernized” (the proper definition of Western) is South Korea, I would say that South Korea is “Western influenced” rather then “Westernized”.
South Korea is “Western Influenced” in that the country:
Is a Democracy
A staunch and traditional ally of the United States
Has imported Western Pop Culture and made into their own Pop (K-Pop)
Has a large population percentage that adheres to Christianity, about 30%, but a lot of Korean Christians tend to blend the religion with some elements of Confucianism, an ancient Chinese Philosophy.
But that is as far as I can go in regards on guessing how “Western Influenced” South Korea is. But despite such influence and modernization, South Korea tends to have a society much different and more strict then Western society in that it’s still adheres mostly to Buddhist and Confucianist values. But take this part of my answer with a grain of salt.
For example, Korean is a lot more modernized than most of europe, despite all european countries being countries of the west. It’s more modernized than france, most parts of germant, for sure more modernized than Italy so on and so forth. I understand how you could be confused between the two, but we aren’t exactly living in the era were so many countries were imperialized. Lots of Koreans speak English and many places have english because the country is globalized.
Similarly, the Philippines are more “westernized” than Korea Japan or China because their main religion is catholicism, their submain language is English. Their language also uses the English alphabet. Again, I struggle to see how Korea is westernized. If you are thinking westernized=affluent, I see 3 east asian countries within the top 10 global economy so that definition would not work either.
Is Korea westernized because you see western franchises and car manufacturers? If so, in that same line if reasoning, since over 50% of household goods in the US comes from China, the US is easternized. The US is also southernized because you see food franchises selling burritos and tacos with guacamole everywhere. It’s also easternized because people grew up watching bruce lee/jackie chan and anime. No, I think the US is globalized. And so is Korea.
Western centric perspective.
Im so surprised about you not enjoying or finding good food in Korea. I feel like it's much more easier on the palate than the ones you mentioned like Japanese and certainly Chinese (authentic cuisines). Thai and Korean are my favorite asian cuisines
@dejuren hmmm theres a lot of data points from anecdotal experience of people coming back from their trips to mainland china and having lost weight. Most western people are used to westernized chinese food not authentic chinese. You could probably google that and see exactly what I am saying. Watching other videos from them, It does seem like the couple was exposed to kbbq before arriving to Korea but not any other dishes.
@dejuren I never said or inferred any of that stuff, youre projecting lmao I just said in my experience, most people find it harder to eat authentic chinese and japanese cuisines. Which can be supported by other data points online. But I recognize people have different tastes, I think that goes without saying.
Gwangjang market is a place of heritage of an older Korean way of doing things to make a living, in that people went there to sell and purchase things to make a living in my grandparent’s generation around 1950’s and naturally had to make east food available for the merchants and shoppers. It is not a place to find korean “cuisine.” Thats the equivalent to saying going to a flea market food vendor/cafeteria for the american cuisine. Netflix made it popular, but as someone who lived in Seoul for 12 years, I never went there a single time because my parents never took me there. Koreans who are looking for food, and “not just a fast and easy way to take care of a meal” would not venture out to that market. And you say you haven’t liked Korean food, but it makes me wonder what have you actually tried. Have you tried dakgalbi? Have you tried hanwoo? Have you tried haemulpajeon with makguli? Have you tried set menu Korean cuisine in a nice place?
I'm about to come after Christmas be my guide
@rain sky 그럴수도 있죠...근데 시장음식이고 막걸리나 저녁 먹으로 가는거지...아주 맛있어서 가는건 아니잖아요...전 서울 20년이고 그 앞에서 10년 근무했지만 한번도 안먹었네요...이미 아는맛, 다른 시장에서도 먹을수 있는맛..
Great points. And above all - heamulpajeon and makguli is perhaps the most unbeatable combo... So good, so satisfying 🙂
광장시장은 구경하는 곳이지 먹는 곳은 아니라고 생각함.
God it hurts watching people eat bibimbap like that. You have to mix it with gochujang. Also a lot of westerners come into Korea and go to those markets but really you got to go to department stores and get some food. Also Korean national food is Fried chicken. I know it’s easy to fall in trap of trying to try out Korean traditional foods but go to issac’s toast, get some friend chicken, get some jokbal.
yes, much of traditional Korean Food is acquired taste.
I know right. I cringe 😬.
Those you mentioned are good choices but also budae Jjigae, gamja-tang, Dak-galbi, crab stew, etc. All delicous.
I have been travelling to SK since 2007, where flight tickets ranges from SGD1200-1500 Changi to Seoul, the Metro is so easy to navigate coz of the english translation. Streets are in English Alphabet. People whom may not be able to talk to you if you ask but if you show the address, they will walk you there! They are so generous with food. I learned the word " Service" means additional food, extra dessert, fruits -ON THE HOUSE 🥰👍. I always enjoy visiting korea! Try to visit the island too. 😊
You guys are the first honest youtubers to say they didnt like the food in Korea based on your personal experience. I admire the honesty. Try the street food in Hongdae especially the fried chicken ,the street fried chicken taste better than the KFC in Seoul.
Yea, like typical bland white people
its understandable to not like the food but to say its rancid? damn bruh stick to hamburgers and pizza
Modern means westernized? Lol. This is what I don’t like about Americans. It’s modern and developed so let’s call it westernized.
Ikr I get what they wanted to say but honestly they could have used a better word than westernized for sure
@@hyoeunkim7543 Sadly, Americans are brought up to believe that America is 'greatest country in the world', and "westernised" means "American-inspired". It's not only Asian countries that they view like that - that's how they view every other country outside their own. They can only see things from an American perspective. Some American people actually look outside their country and realise what a warped viewpoint that is and change that perspective, but very few do that.
Their last point in particular made me laugh! "We had amazing Korean food in the US." And now they're disappointed with the real thing. They haven't even learned that what they had in the US will actually be the UNauthentic food, not the other way around - that the Korean food they had in the US would have been changed and tailored towards what people in the US would like. They brought their US taste buds with them and compared the real thing unfavourably with the first "Korean food" they tried in their own country!! They actually think what they had in the US was better, lol!! They prefer Americanised Korean food!! It's a kind of narrow-mindedness that is sadly unsurprising. I found that incredibly arrogant and naive!! And quite insulting!!
As an American, I agree 💯
Korea is waaaay more modern than Europe and most of the US tbh.
Anyone who has actually lived there (not just visited) will agree with me.
Exactly. America and most of Europe isn’t nearly as modern nor technologically advanced as Tokyo, Seoul, Singapore or other metropolitan cities in Asia. And tbh, it’s sad but whenever I go back to the States from Korea or Japan, it feels like I’m coming back to a developing country with all the pot holes, homeless people, and dilapidated infrastructure. America, and specifically, California, has to step it up if we still want to be viewed as modern and developed.
As a Korean, there is an inconvenience when I see foreigners eating Korean food. Especially in case of bibimbap, you have to mix it perfectly with red pepper paste or soy sauce, but it's a pity that you can't feel Korean food properly when you eat meat without eating it in one bite.
Inconvenience 보다는 uncomfortable이 적당해보이네요 심리적으로 마음이 불편하다는 뜻으로 쓰이는거니까.
@@dkanfhehamfmrksl 번역기 돌린거라... ㅡㅡㅋ
앗 죄송해여
With Korean food you either love it the first time or it requires an acquired taste. But you have to know how to eat it properly.
My wife grew up in Korea and so far been in the US for 24 years. When it comes to food she chooses Korean food over any other food; chinese, american, thai, italian, mexican, etc. She can't live without Korean food. I on the other hand grew up in the US so I can live on any food but Korean food is so much more savory and flavorful.
For food western tourists find it easy to like are, Korean chicken (many types), k bbq (many types), korean toast/sandwich, army stew (buddae Jhigae), korean full course meal (hanjungsik), etc
the K food is so much better in SK - K food in US is tuned down mostly
By a long shot!! Very hard to replicate the magic that goes on in South Korea - the local ingredients, the high standards, and everything else...
Great video, amazing view, delicious food and interesting explanation.
I like food South Korea is Tteokbokki, Jjampong, Bibimbap, Bulgogi, Samgyetang, Yangnyeom Tongdak, Japchae, Sannakji, Pajeon and Kimchi.
I like tourist place in South Korea is Jeju, Nami, Seongsan Ilchulbong, Seoraksan, Hallasan, Hamdeok, Jeongbang, Seopjikoji, Hyeopjae, Jusangjeollidae, Suncheon Bay, Bukhansan, Manjanggul, Carribean Bay, Cheonjeyeon, Osulloc, Halla, Gwangalli, Seorak, Taebaeksan, Jangsan, Odae and Udo.
I not born in South Korea and I not South Korea people, but I know food and nice places in South Korea. Oh yeah, I know serial film 49 DAYS from South Korea and I know this song from "NAM GYU RI - LIGHTLESS WINDOWS", "MAYA - AZALEA" and "HONG GIL DONG - PARK WAN KYU FATE" this song very good.
So, my score for South Korea is 9.5/10. Just try asking South Korea, whether what I mentioned really exists in the South Korea or not. Even when I was in South Korea, there were Korean women who were the same age as me who heard from my explanation about tourist attractions, food and anything in South Korea. Even though I'm not Korean but I know. So from that conversation we both got to know each other and became friends. I always remember whatever happened when I visited abroad.
Greetings from me and stay healthy.
Secret to bibimbop is to mix it well with the sauce until it has a reddish tone to it. If you don't mix it, it will be bland. Mix it with the sauce and add some sesame seed oil...delicious!
Food were disappointing in Seoul???? Dear. U really needed a good Korean friend there in Seoul.
Great vid. And I love Seoul because I was born there but I live almost all my life in the Netherlands so thank you for sharing and have a great time in Seoul!✌🏾🇳🇱🇰🇷
Nice! I have also lived in both the Netherlands and Seoul - a nice combination of places to enjoy 🙂 Hope you can also get a chance to go back and visit Korea sometime.
You have to fully mix the bibimbap from the bottom up. “bibim” means mix and “bap” means rice!
Congratulations to you guys in Seoul, South Korea this weekend to tours around the city in December of 2022❤❤❤
Dead? Keep your honest opinions to yourself. Food is disappointing? We don’t need your honest opinions on here.
한국에서 멋지고 기억에남는 여행이 되길 바랍니다
새로운 음식 새로운 한국문화를 느껴보시길~
Oh nice I was thinking of going to Korea looks cool
Great video! Enjoyed watching it💜
Appreciate the troubles and challenges of another fellow content creator...... The last time I was back in Seoul was 2019 ( right before the pandemic started ) .. Places like Gyeongbokgung Palace , wearing the tradisional clothes, KwangJang Market, The city stream.... etc... Will wanna head back there either next year or 2024...Thanks for showing us around and to relive the great moment in South Korea ... Cheers mates!!
Idk which part of the states yall came from but seems to have been cruising through very generic touristy areas. Same thing as walking around in states and saying its just burgers & chicken tenders over and over again. All im saying is it's hard to judge a country when you've barely skimmed through the facade. Cheers
Oh man.. sounds like you either need guidance on how to eat korean food or you went to really really bad places which is hard to do. Because there isn't a Korean restaurant in LA that can hold a candle to restaurants in Korea. I kinda got that feeling the way the bibimbap was prepared.. you really need to add the red sauce... and the egg looked over well which i've never seen before. It had to be specifically requested to serve bibimbap with eggs over well.
Yes, the bibimbap actually made me sick 🥺 So I do think we picked the wrong place to eat! I had it again when we went to Busan and it was 10000% better and yes, the egg was runny and much more delicious!
@@HobartsAbroad oh my goodness that's terrible!!
@@HobartsAbroad if y’all are at Busan I’d recommend Eonyang Bulgogi. It’s a chain in that southern area of Korea that serves a different style of bulgogi and it’s worth noting the nuances and differences across regions. I get the notion of giving honest reviews but that might best be served with still some planning on where you’re visiting and eating. Y’all are spending a lot of money on traveling so might be worth looking up where the recommended places are and what the pro tips are. And then give your honest opinion on those tips, restaurants, and additional suggestions. I know “honest opinions” is a different twist on other vloggers but it kind of comes across as forced provocateur. I suggest having a list of what you want to eat and visit. Highlight a particular ingredient that you noticed was different and didn’t like. Not everyone likes the same things so would be good to provide those honest specifics.
@@HobartsAbroad Don't worry about the comments. Korean food can be an acquired taste. I appreciate that you dived right in and tried it.
Thanks you guys so much for this remarkable video about Seoul, South Korea this weekend to shows these great things in December of 2022❤❤❤
8:57 “I found hard to find food that I like here in Seoul”…. Seriously?
7:44 Bread name is gyeran-ppang(계란빵). Means gyeran(egg), ppang(bread)
Make by mixing cake flour with eggs.
+ 10:12
Bibimbap ‘bibim’ means to mix and ‘bap’ means rice.
Bibimbap is mixed with red ‘pepper paste(gochujang)’ or soy sauce and vegetables.
And use a spoon
Banapresso is popular because it’s cheap and fast 😂 Korea does have a lot of cafes.
and the palace they visited was either burnt or broken down during the war unfortunately. A lot of what we see now has been rebuilt quite recently.
I think it “starting from night” is only applies to busy districts in Seoul…where I live in Korea,everything closes at 9…. except convenience stores.
Surprised with your assessment on the food. I’m from California and they have some good Korean food there, but it doesn’t nearly compare to the real thing in Korea. The food in Korea is incredible. You must’ve gone to some mediocre places cuz you guys are the only ones I know who says the Korean food in the States is better.
nice
5:24
try visiting the Buddhist temples -> Jogyesa (near Jongno) or Bongeunsa (near COEX, line no. 9). Theyre surrounded by concrete jungles, but when you go inside, it's like youre transported to another world...
Thank you so much for the recommendation 😊 We'll have to check it out when we come back!
Great call with the Bongeunsa recommendation.. One of my favorite spots to go to and just quiet things down a bit!
I’m going to assume you guys are from Midwest of the US? Your taste bud is not ready for SK I think.
Also, it’s a big city so it’s like NY…, you don’t make friends with strangers especially foreigners.
Definitely different from SE Asia.
Welcome to our City!
Enjoy the flavor of every district..
Its kyeran bbang ( egg bread in english)
When you eat bibimbap, you need and put some little amount gonjuchang( red pepper paste) and MIX it with SPOON 1st before you dig in. Bibim- mix
Bap- rice
Wow, thank you so much for all the tips and recommendations 😄 I did end up adding a lot of that sauce and it was really good 😋
In Busan we have also tried cheese Hotteok and it was absolutely our favorite food on Korea 🤤
As a Korean, I never liked those new variarions of hotteok. And I don’t think there was such a thing as a cheese variant just 5-7 years ago. The original sweet ones with the cinammon and nuts are the best, bar none.
Kyeran bbang makes my day better - love it so much! Also a fan of the cheese hotteok, I must say 🙂
Uber works fine here in Seoul.
우버아주좋아요!
Never been in Korea. It is definitely on my bucket list. Meanwhile I enjoy it through your videos. You just got a new subscriber!!!!
Thank you for subscribing! Your comment made our day 🥰 It's a privilege to be able to take others around the world with us 😄
A great thing to have on your bucket list! Hope you get to fulfill your wish and come here... it's wonderful in many ways!
I am sorry that you seemed not to be satisfied in Seoul.Where you have been to were the places introduced in the guidebook 15 years ago...the restraunt seems to be for a foreigner....There are lots of other places trending thesedays and restraunts afforable 10 to 15 USD.. Hope you enjoyed more in Korea....and highly recommended googling before travelling Korea especially in Seoul..I think you explore less than 10% in Seoul.. hope u find the hidden gems next time..
Well said... And there are a LOT of hidden gems!
When I visited South Korea for the first time last month. I wasn’t interested in going to palaces or shrines. I went there for the nightlife and dental procedures that only cost me $2k that something that it’ll cost me about $13k in the US.
Actually you'd better take metro faster than taxi
Because of the traffic jam furthermore Korean metro is exactly coming on time. Koreans only know this point when we have to hurry in Seoul we go to the subway station.
Welcome to Korea.🌺
About the Hanbok(the traditional costume), those you see from the stores near by the Gyoungbokgung palace, they don't carry the real traditional hanbok. In stead, they rent the changed and more adorned(with the gold trims and big ribbons kind) clothes. I hope they rent the real traditional hanbok which I think really elegant and beautiful. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you for your honesty. I love travel vlogs but I feel far too many always have excessively exaggerated views. Everything is always “amazing” or “mind blowing”. Glad you had the courage to just speak it like it is. Ultimately, everyone has different opinions.
좀 많이 아쉽다 ㅜㅜ 음식들은 어떻게 먹는지 검색하시고 드시면 더 맛있게 즐길 수 있어요! 특히 비빔밥은 비벼서 고추장이랑 같이 먹는겁니다ㅏ!!
hope you guys having wonderful times in S Korea!
I Love Korea!!!
07:53 / the bread name is egg bread , it`s kind of korea traditional snacks when highly popularity at 1980~2000 for street food. it still porpular though. that contains only eggs , and flour.
uber app actually works in korea but app doesn't show as uber. my uber app changed it to "UT". i think you need to update the app tho
Thanks for the tip!!
영상을 너무 아름답게 찍으시는군요. 다른 서울 소개영상보다 영상미가 좋아요.
I was wondering what the name (and location) of the college roommate‘s favorite restaurant is. I‘m going to Soul in a couple of months and would like to go to a really good Korean restaurant. Thanks.
7:45 계란빵(Gyeran-ppang) the literal translation of it is 'Egg bread' and that's what it is. It's a snack.
솔직해서 좋네요
Loved this one!
So glad you did ☺️
That’s amazing! So glad we got to show you a bit of your own country ☺️🇰🇷 Netherlands is also on our list so maybe we’ll bump to you there!
Thank you for the information. Very good video. Do you have a good Tipp for a romantic dinner, with a amazing view on the city and which maps do you prefer to find some good places in Seoul. Best wishes Siri and Uwe from Germany
What's the name of the restaurant where you ate cow intestines?
한국여행을 잘즐기신것같아서 기분좋네요 ㅎㅎ
thanks
When They eat bibimbob without mixing, I couldn’t watch anymore wth
Food was rancid with 🤢emoji?! Wow
Korea = Morning calm :)
If you stay in Gangnam... of course it seems dead in the morning. It's like staying in the financial district of New York... everyone is on their way to work... You may have enjoyed it more if you stayed more central... like Myeungdong or somewhere more younger like Haewadong..
Never saw a person who did not like korean food lol
I have- a lot in fact.
maybe he likes the sausage better
Me too
They prefer the unauthentic Americanised Korean food, lol!! 🤣🤣
@@fransmith3255 yeah they should stick to pizza and hamburger lol they have much worse food in their home with low standards
사장님...ㅋㅋ~~!!👍👍
Na Coreia do Sul tem Cafés como no Brasil tem igrejas 🤗💒 Uma a cada 100 metros.
Uber now works in Korea to call the taxi...food wise, it does take more research...u need to go to "specialty" restaurants. If you eat at general restaurant, it's like expecting great burger at Denny's
우버좋아요!
“Megan Osten” South Korean travel coach videos are extremely informative too!
As someone whose a picky eater and dont eat meat...man this was the first time I hear someone spoke their truth about food in Seoul.
Food reviews were a bit ethnocentric but over all good trip vlog guys. Korea has every type of cuisine available so if Korean food isn’t to your pallette’s liking you can still enjoy the sights and sounds and have whatever kind of food you enjoy
I heard you are planning to go Busan.
It's very windy and cold nowadays.
You might want to check out the lotte department store. It's one of the largest department stores in korea. There are many different cusine to eat. Have fun
Koreans love coffee. We work hard, play hard that's why we need caffein.
You were being kinda whiny about the food about halfway in my man...There's tons of great food there
바나프레소 저렴하고 맛있는곳 잘 골라서 가셨네요 ㅎㅎ
They said that the white candy used to be only served to kings traditionally.
Country oriented to Convenience
추운디 ㅠㅠ 😭
It's Egg bread. "Gyeran ppang". It's sold in almost every regions of Korea.
When it comes to experiencing tradition, seoul is not the final destination, but jeonju or kyungju are.
I think the smell they are referring to is possibly fish sauce maybe they are not used to it?
There is an Uber app in Korea! Instead, the name is UT. If you change the Uber app to a Korean SIM card, the Uber name will change to UT!
good video.
Fermented vegetables and soybeans are fundamental in Korean quisine and the food is way to spicy for Americans therefore Korean food sold in US is adjusted and less spicy
First , Im so sorry~ I can not speak English well~ Forgive me~ I love your honesty.U never lie to your closest family and friends~If not, they are not your family and friends~Some Koreans only want to hear compliments~ If It's not a compliments~they will get angry~ I hate that so much.

Wherever you guys go in the world,be hppy and healthy~ I wish you guys good luck~God bless you guys~~~~

한국음식은 먹는 방법이 있어요! 어떤 양념을 넣는지 어떤 소스를 넣는지 ᆢ 알아보고 제대로 즐기시면 분명 좋아하실꺼예요 또 맛집검색 해서 퀄리티 좋은 식당을 가세요 🎉
When it comes to Korean food for western appetite, sticking with the traditional beef flavor soups without spice are usually the most palatable. When he said the soup did not smell good for him, i totally get that. Some korean food smells worse than it tastes. Ive been to that market and to be honest, it is a bit overhyped but it is the perfect place to grab cheap food and a variety. Of course there are some stalls much better than others.
People are so sleep-deprived from work and school schedules into the night, that they probably live on caffeine…. A fried chicken place would have surely pleased you….
Wow~ Thank you for enjoying Seoul. From the point of view of Korean, it seems that the two of you have adjusted your comments. You guys must have thought of that too. I want to come again with my same-sex friends. Not a negative approach, come and enjoy Seoul again. respect for your video
