    I AM A KOREAN. YOU'D BETTER VISIT ANOTHER MARKET. THIS MARKET IS TERRIBLE! I AM SURE THAT YOU WILL REGRET IF YOU GO THERE! THOSE ARE RIP OFF! 😂😂

      Perhaps you can suggest to viewers reading your comment another place for people to check out rather than leaving the statement so bold and incomplete? That would be helpful

    The long lines in Asia no longer holds. I was in Osaka last week. The famed places promoted by UA-camr’s had very long lines. They were so bad, I’ve got enough material to make a video myself.

      Thanks for subbing and hope some of my Seoul focused videos were useful. I have a comprehensive Seoul guide I put together that ties them all together.
      For my latest vlogging setup, yes, I just use my iPhone 15 Pro Max + DJI Mic + Wide Angle Lens on a gimbal. It’s a pretty simple setup but gets the job done for now.

    Gwangjang Market is going downhill quickly. Prices are too high and quality is going down. It is way too crowded on the weekends. Also some of the ajuma are so rude. I do not recommend it at all anymore. Some food items are double the price of other markets.

    Plenty of videos from locals telling people to stay away from this tourist trap. This is why you should be skeptical of any recommendations from another tourist. 😂

    • @fomoyolotravel
      @fomoyolotravel  8 місяців тому

      Some people will only want to do what the locals say. Some people will only want to do pure touristy stuff because they are, after all, tourists. One travel plan that is suitable for one person may not be suitable for another. There is no right or wrong plan. If you don’t like my message or video, move on.

    • @gopher4life1
      @gopher4life1 8 місяців тому

      I commented to let other viewers know that it’s a tourist trap which you failed to mention. Of course, some people might still prefer to visit a tourist trap but it’s important to not hide such information. For some people, it’s expensive to travel and the last thing they need is being misled by someone’s advice. Typical problems with tourist trap: you get scammed, poor quality, expensive, etc.

      @@gopher4life1 so you're are making a statement that it is a "tourist trap" but that's purely your opinion. You're also implying in your original comment that only locals know best and to be skeptical of any non-locals opinions. You're entitled to that opinion as well.
      I didn't experience any of the "typical problems" you mentioned during my visit, doesn't mean it doesn't happen though but I go off of my personal experience.
      If you also think I failed to mention anything or hiding information intentionally, I 100% disagree but you're also entitled to your opinion. I do know throughout the video comments are made about the crowds of tourists, long lines, and even close the video with a statement that for me, I think it's still worth visiting. If that's not enough for you and you think people can't make their own decision on whether it's worth visiting to them or not, it is what it is...
      Thanks for watching til the end, if you did.
