    Anna, this video is great. This is the first video about Hongdae that I have seen that is actual informative of the history of the area, but also fun to watch. Keep it coming with the content!!
    The story of Hongdae reminds me so much of the West/East Village in NYC back in the 1970's to late 1990's. With NYU un the area a lot of student stayed off campus because it was cheap to live and close to the school. A lot of artist and artist lofts in the area, which created spaces for visual art and alt music to be seen and heard. Just like Hongdae gentrification and big business made it had of students and artist w/o money to live and create in the area.

    Spent the whole month of February in Seoul and thought I'd seen a lot every day, but your videos are showing me more that I missed, so I will definitely be returning ASAP. I've very travelled to 40 countries (and this was the 2nd time in Seoul) , but Korea, IMO, is the BEST ( I KNOW it has faults, but the general vibe is GOOD). Keep up the neighbourhood videos, they give so much context to the whole Seoul experience 💚💚💚

      hey i arrived in korea two weeks ago and i came here completely alone (im 18) and i just wanted to reassure you that you can do it!! the first few days will be super overwhelming and you'll probably just cry and want to go home but that's normal and once you're over that it's amazing here. my korean is also not good but i've really never had a problem, you'd be suprised how far Papago and a bit of sign language can get you, and in stores/restuarants you barely need to speak, just point lol. also everything is just very easy here, especially the subway. i reccomend watching Korean Unnie's vid on how to use it and then you'll be fine. definitely download naver maps if you haven't already and bookmark attractions/cafes/etc. finally, if you're worried about not having friends, download bumble bff! it works the same as a dating app but for making friends, i've used it quite a bit and met some really nice people. even if you wont be there for long it's sometimes nice to check out places with other people, and trust me there are so many people all in the same boat. sorry for the long rant but i wish someone had given me some similar advice/reassurance when i first arrived because i was so scared, but im loving it now. good luck with everything!!
