- Overall our experience in Seoul has been extremely positive. We really do love living here but there are pros and cons to living in every city.
These are 10 things that I don't like about living in Seoul South Korea. We have been living in Seoul for 8 months after moving here from Los Angeles.
We sold everything we owned on a whim to travel the world with our husky Nala. Currently in Seoul, South Korea 🇰🇷

I agree with most of your points. Amazing how you were able to spot all these!
Just that I wouldn’t say mandatory drinking is a common thing. It only happens in a certain high-end restaurants or restaurants in a certain neighborhood. (Touristic&Hippy places) elsewhere u don’t really experience this. Enjoy your staying here!
Thanks! Yeah definitely not everywhere but surprisingly common. Good thing I don’t work at a Korean company then the social drinking culture will REALLY be there
I love the content like this because almost everyone is taking about how fabulous Korea is. Oh Korea is beautiful wonderful fantastic but not so many wants to talk about negative side of Korea. There is nothing wrong talking about things like this. So that people can learn and improve the situations. Thank you 🙏
Thanks! Pros and cons to every city and also just things that are not cons but just things different people are not used to. All feedback with love
great tips! thank you 🙏
Thanks for watching! My pleasure 🙏🏼
Very helpful. Some good points I never had heard.
Thanks!
dang ive been watching korean content for a years (good and bad) and most of these complaints I've never heard of!! Thanks for the new insights!
Thanks for watching! I’ve watched a lot of the vids too and they usually mention the same stuff so I wanted to dive into some specific and different cases
Yo david, i first started watching your vids a few weeks ago when I was looking for Danang vids. I'm also a californian living in korea now (coming up on 4 years) and all these were right on the money. I hadn't already done so but I subbed today, keep up the good work.
Fuggin mosquitos.... I also use a net for sleeping and taped all the window edges lol. We got the hot and tasty blood yo. There are covers for the sewage holes in bathroom/sinks that can prevent smell and maybe mosquitos coming in? Honestly I don't know how they come in either...
Taxi drivers are the scourge of the korean roads, and this comes from not as a rider but as a driver. You'd think they'd be good drivers since they drive all day but they are damn awful, not turning on blinkers, stopping in the middle of the road, double parking. Makes me "yok" all the time.
If you don't have a korean number, there should be plenty of VoIP apps where you can get numbers for at least the restaurant waiting. The cellphone authentification for EVERYTHING is actually convenient for me but it being a requirement is troublesome for visitors.
Haha we got that sweet California blood. We’ve been able to use a 012 number (tourist number) which works most of the time but some systems need a 010 number. Thanks for the sub! Glad you can relate to these things!
I hate this housing system. None of the developed country has it. You earn enough money, have a nice house, but it's in another world. Here, you have to have zillion dollars, then freeeze them for at least for two years, and live and pay rental fee. You could have invested money, or buy something, or go for trip, no you have to lose money on this shit system.
And as you put deposit in Korean wons, you lose in inflation pretty much. For example in two years, for renting small room, i lost 2.500$, because of inflation,as i exchanged dollars to won then won back to usd. It's pretty much for me. I could have had two week trip in Thailand with family for this money
Yeah you nailed it. Most people don’t think about inflation or investing and they think it’s just free rent
any good, authentic pho in Seoul?
Yeah there’s actually a lot of Vietnamese people living in Seoul that have restaurants. There’s on by our house in Yongsan that we go to often but I don’t know the name 😂
Wait what??? People force you to order alcohol???
Yeah it’s restaurant policy in a lot of places for evening time
Taxi drivers mmm. Your story is pretty bad. My worst taxi driver experience was when he got extremely angry at us because I was digging in to get my wallet out. He barked that I should have had money out already. Can you believe that?
Yeah if you take 1 second too long to do anything they act like you’re stealing their money.
I should have watched such videos before moving in Seoul instead of female Russian speaking bloggers. They have rich husbands, who solves all problems
😂😂😂 lots of different perspectives you gotta watch them all to get a gauge but nothing beats experiencing it yourself in person
Who said Korea was perfect??? The delusional y’all must be living to be thinking anyone but the Koreaboos think korea of all countries is perfect. Like please.
Haha every place has pros and cons for sure
