Would be cool if you recorded a video of you just walking around these amazing places. Not everyone will get the opportunity to travel to South Korea. Another idea is maybe if you have any wacky/cute cafes in Korea like with pets or anything?

[@MrTobi013]

I have been dreaming of visiting this legendary marketplace! I hope to go one day and maybe meet you Anna!❤

[@marystratton9769]

This is one of my favorite videos. Loved the vibe, the food, and especially seeing people recognize you and the great work that you do! Well done!!!👏👏👏👏

[@carmenrodal6842]

I will be visiting Seoul in 3 weeks and this video is really helpfull tsm! What a surprise to see James Rodriguez in this video! He is very popular in Spain, the best tiktoker and KZbinr about Korea from Spain for sure! Hope you can do a collab one day ☺️

[@janaej8562]

Loved this vid! Thanks for sharing different spots to go to.

[@karyn777]

Definitely going to save this for when I visit next year!! Love the added history facts of your recent videos Anna. Keep up the great work 😊

[@Buppet]

Your vlogs are very good Anna, congratulations, the interaction with people made the video even better!

[@Crystal_Sky_]

I love how through Anna's channel we get to learn about more places and its history Its so so much fun!!

[@allisonB123]

Loved this video, thank you Anna! I really enjoy being shown Seoul by you. You are so good at making us feel like we are there, visiting with you - I think you are a fabulous ambassador for Korea (maybe one day you can do a vlog of Jeju Island, I think you would do an amazing job, it’s such a beautiful and tranquil place). 🙏💜💜

[@annette_164]

This was a super cool vlog Anna! I always look forward to your adventures😊 love this Seoul series you are filming 👍 the food looks amazing!

[@kevinkevin-tj8mb]

영상 잘 봤습니다^^ 항상 행복하세요!! 외국인들에게 우리나라의 좋은 모습을 보여 주셔서 감사해요

[@flowerlane7525]

Thank you Anna for such a sweet video! Love food markets and this one is definitely a must when visiting Korea! 👍 I agree with you that beef tartar is super delicious! The flavor reminds me a lot of minced tuna sashimi! 🥰👍

[@kdandhissismk4053]

Everything looks so delicious. Love your videos. Thanks for the info ❤

[@udchen1211]

I love how you show us how to pronounce the words so we know how to order 😁

[@abutravelstheworldforfood]

Shout to you Anna! Thanks for stopping by during your filming and speaking that day at the Gwangjang market during my visit in Seoul!!

[@mkoose]

Nice vlog. Very wholesome how you communicated with people who recognized you and fellow youtubers !

[@edwintan6091]

Glad that I found this video, it's amazing!

[@lazar485]

I’m going in March in Seoul i hope i will find this market 😊

[@SeoulForeigner]

Hi Anna. I found your videos recently on KZbin and have been watching your content over the past few weeks. This is my first comment on your video but thank you ever so much for including the English and Korean subtitles for your videos. It has certainly helped improve my Korean vocabulary and sentence construction and is hugely helpful! Your recent videos are making me feel more excited for my relocation to Korea with family and I can't wait to try out all kinds of food, particularly 육회 (beef tartare) and 광어회 (flat fish? not sure!). Anyhow thanks again for your content and sharing the many delights of South Korea. 😊

[@Bebekmatrix]

Love your vlog

[@theglodetrotterty]

Thank you Anna!! So excited for my first trip to Korea and 6 other countries upcoming July!! My first time in Asia will be amazing because of your videos and others too! 😊❤ Congrats on being recognized alot too! It makes me happy that people love your content 🙂

[@Susie-fw3oj]

Hi Anna! I’m heading to Korea soon. Thank you for your videos! I especially love the ones on the different neighborhoods like Hongdae and Itaewon!

[@jaebeommie]

I've been on a binge of your videos as KZbin recommended your channel to me!! I love all the content I've seen so far and look forward to whatever you'll put out in the future.

[@jamescho9275]

Anna, really been enjoying your videos. I like how you spin in the historical facts about the place you review before you start each video. Keep the quality videos coming. Thanks!

[@ekim8958]

I just went here last week to the Netflix noodle place. My friends and I didn't think it was that great. Did enjoy her story on the show though. Made me cry and glad to have supported her business. Lol

[@jyannalee]

Tbh, it’s just noodles so it wasn’t like groundbreaking either for me 😅 but maybe the cold spicy noodles are better!

[@LaGantoise]

Thanks for the tour. I'll definitely go there.

[@hanna0322]

Subscribed! Your videos are fun and very informative 👏👏👏

[@ruehln2000]

Anna!! Of course everyone loves and watches your Seoul videos!!! I can't wait to visit next year, sending you love from London xx

[@Crystal_Sky_]

2:52 Literally the best clip when anna tasted the beef and started dancing in tiny. The way her face turned into sunshine, Living for it ♡

[@Ciaseea]

You're so popular! Thanks for sharing all these wonderful spots. They are on my list when I visit soon.

[@Sarah-by5bi]

I love your video Anna Lee you really are amazing

[@lisama4903]

Loved this video of the market. have heard so much about it. Wanting to come to Korea this year. Would love to try all those amazing foods . ❤

[@themediterraneanguy]

GREAT video content about Seoul, a TOP touristic destination, worth visiting and exploring. Friendly people, delicious food

[@vitaminj.lifeinkorea]

the qualiy of your video is just wow!!! It’s like I’m watching a vlog + a travel guide video + documentary at the same time!!😮

[@secondamazonprime-kv5xo]

Mahalo for your suggestion for the yukhye it was fantastic! Luckily it wasn’t too busy today and they sat us very quickly. It was the best we ever had!

[@Crystal_Sky_]

I literally couldn't stop smiling when So many people recognized you!! I hope one day I get to meet you too ♡

[@plummyplummy]

It's so cute watching you run into subscribers while you're out makin videos LOL, and thanks for another seoul guide!! i'm gonna have to track down that bboongobbang stall OMG

[@Marie-nt1in]

We went there while visiting Seoul for the first time this week! Thx for the recommendation, it was a great meal!

[@AviationAndTravelWithSash]

This place is on my bucket list!

[@tomiw8272]

So cool how you say hello to everyone that recognizes you! I'll be in Korea in 2 weeks and if I see you, you better come have a drink with us! LOL if the situation allows! Keep up the good work!

[@ainaandrianatoandro4960]

Really looking forward to going there!!!! That is dreamland for foodies

[@FlavorofMind]

I've also heard the kimchi at that famous kalguksu stall is bonkers good.. Now I definitely need to go and try it!

[@walnut8497]

I just came back from Seoul. Like your video of introducing Gwangjang Market plus your sweet smile! 👍

[@RockmasterVideos]

South Korea is amazing........& your videos/vlogs are too, Subscribed!

[@briannhansong2851]

I'm going to Korea this August. This place is a bucket list

[@maviswong3500]

Hi Anna. Thank you for your videos. You shd start up a tourist guide service for visitors. You are amazing. Thank you for all your hints and advise and just everything. Luv ya from downunder.

[@HelenSab]

I love this series that you do!!!!!!!!! Please do more!!! Can you do spas? 찜질방

[@mandyloh6691]

thank you anna for this wonderful video and i so enjoyed it. will keep all that in mind should we visit seoul lol.

[@antonioflores1531]

The food looks great! 😃 I have to go to South Korea at least once for the food and the rich culture. Love these food videos, hope to see more in the future. ❤️☮️

[@Han-cj2jp]

Hi Anna, Everything looks so good. My favorite is the fried squid and the Japchae, glass noodles. The fried squid in the states is called cuddle fish. In the Korean mart, there’s a banchan area where they cook it and it’s still hot. Sikhye is sold in cans like soda in the Korean mart and it’s call dansool, sweet beer. Wow, you are so famous, everyone knows you.

[@marie09456]

I'm going to Seoul in twi weeks so I'll definitely will go to this market. Continue with your videos.

[@VegasVizsla]

Hi Anna, I really enjoyed the video. I am planning to visit Gwangjang Market next year with my family from US( first time to Korea), and Gwangjang Market is one of the places I want to take them. It is getting really crowded lately but it will be super fun! Can't wait to try beef tartar again. and BindaeDuk with makulri.

[@dul1693]

귀여운 안나~~

[@RockingMarshall]

Really cool!!! Like your touring videos a lot. 🤩🤩 Wanna try that raw beef tartare. 😋😛 All that food looks really good. 😛 You are a really famous local youtuber. 😍🤩

[@FlavorofMind]

Going to the gym for 2 hours before loading up at the Gwangjang Market... that's a pro move! 😂 Enjoyed this video a bunch!

[@Nursmusic10]

❤❤❤❤❤ you look so refreshing

[@siddhantdancestarvideo2227]

Thank you for acknowledging us 💕

[@sampras9216]

Ohmymymy bon appétit 😊💜

[@jlyn9893]

I really wish I could go to South Korea in the future. If I did, this video will be very helpful! Thank you 💞

[@HansaNayani]

Randomly watching this , love from Sri Lanka ❤ I love how you talk and film

[@dc2davit]

This needs an update. Currently here and myeong dong market way cheaper and Gwangjong market is pricier and more tourist. Bought hotteok at both and Myeongdong was 1500 won gwangjong was 4500 won.

[@savage1510]

I felt targeted when you broke that yolk Anna, lmao !!! I really enjoy these videos and it makes me happy to see people recognize you. You're so sweet to talk with them for a few minutes. That food looks absolutely amazing (except the raw yolk haha). Ugh I wish I was there !!! Love, love, love your content. Be safe and stay healthy

[@9999Ives]

Ah no I was there last week n could not find the beef tarte place; I will come back thanks for the video looks so good esp the sweet n savoury dessert

[@DivaLamby]

Hey! It’s Toni from London in this video 😊 lovely to meet you. Thanks for the chat! x

[@TheSanoko]

I am leaving for South Korea in a few days and your videos have been really helpful. I'm so scared to eat alone since I do not speak Korean, but I will try my best. Thank you for your videos !!

[@TheMiniRach]

Since you really help people by showing where to go it would be great if you could do a video on what to bring if you travel to Korea for the first time! I plan on coming next year mostly because of how well you’ve presented the country to us! As well.. do you ever plan on visiting the UK again?

[@jyannalee]

I want to!! I need to see my friends 😭 hopefully soon

[@bliss.45]

nice video iam watching from uk :)

[@sampk9229]

beautiful and flawless make up .

[@nicoletan7056]

This video came in handy! I'm going to visit Korea very soon! Hopefully I can see you around? hahaha

[@francisimanuel8824]

Evertime people ask me what I did not get to do but was on my list. I say this market. Most of the things on my list were food related😅. Uri Jin Wu’s list was long, so I ate a lot of kids type foods. But If you ever make your way to Amsterdam, beef tartare is a Dutch favorite, not very well known.

[@oulanhkeola5925]

Hi Anna, great content here, could you recommend the best ramyun place in Seoul?

[@dmadianasaufi5070]

Love to see interaction with her foreigner fan😊

[@frankhofmann5819]

I love your vlog. I actually feel like I'm there. If you ever come to Germany, you will experience a culture shock. The world is still analog here 🙂 You are definitely invited.

[@joshthegardener]

Hi! Thanks for the great info! I just went there myself few weeks ago but it seems like I missed out on a lot of good food there :(

[@geearepee]

My dream is to visit Korea! Also I would love to run into you as well! You really are the cool girl of Korea! 💕

[@Ashley-nw3vw]

Que sorpresa ver a James 😍🤩

[@Alen238]

💜Army here visiting Seoul soon. Thanks for all the tips! May I ask is it rude that I can’t finish food that I order ? Also is packing up left over a thing there ? Many thanks, Anna!

[@Mission2Transition641]

Great video. Will go check this market out when i arrive in 3 weeks. I want to start filming also. What type of Camera you use, Anna?

[@jyannalee]

I use a Sony ZV1, an Insta360 X3 and my iPhone 14 pro!

[@CarlywithaY90]

I like sushi and sashimi, so I know that it largely depends on the quality, but I'm still working on the idea that I could conceivably eat a plate of uncooked egg and beef and not die/get food poisoning. I guess like with sushi, you just have to find a place that knows what they're doing. So, if I go to Korea, I will be brave and try yukhoe (sp?). I always make a point to try the local cuisine anywhere I go. It's part of the experience 🙂

[@jessikacaxeta2031]

I went there last month. First time I had tteokbokki, and the most amazing dumplings ever! I don't even like dumplings lol

[@im4ginary]

Thank you for this video! So, I went to this market during my trip in March (with my husband) and was really overwhelmed by the crowds - it was at least 2 or 3x more than what I'm seeing in this video ._. I probably can't even tolerate mildly crowded places. It was so off-putting that I decided to just leave with only the nude kimbap in my stomach! And I left not understanding what the hype was because the madness in crowds really made it seem like it was just another tourist trap :( I'll be heading to Korea again this October as a solo traveler and I hope I can brave thru the crowds again now that you've given me some really good ideas what to eat there!

[@downtoearth5108]

Annyeonghaseo. Cool guide Anna. Thanks for the tips, Korea people would know best where the best foods are. Korea is admired respected for how they emerged out of the Korea war, from a war torn country, now in the top 12 economies. ❤Love Korea people.

[@djfouse]

Nice save. I thought you were going to roll the egg yolk right off your plate. What happened w/ the pizza roll? You made a funny face while tearing it apart. Did you burn your fingers on the hot cheese? You're a STAR! Everyone all over the world recognize the lovely Ms. Lee. 😀

[@Look36966]

Can you do a list of the best or top three Cafe

[@raffaellokendrickcaballero2050]

Hi anna! Whats the best hotel or airbnb you can recommend there in myeongdong? Thanks :)

[@downundabrotha]

One thing i hate about your Vlogs is they make me Hungry 😂😂😂 3am and im lying here wanting that Beef Tartare and Noodles 😭😭😭 luv the content Anna. Personally i love Fish dishes especially Raw Fish on a Hot summer day.

[@slavvalb3933]

Anna, it is always such a fun watching you eat! You should be on TV commercials . But, how do we know what to order ? Most of the food is so spicy . How do u know what is at least mildly spicy ?

[@jyannalee]

I do my research on social media before I go lol

[@slavvalb3933]

@@jyannalee really a research all right, because for you it might be very mild food, but for us, being from Europe, it could be flamingly, spicy 🔥 😂

[@anthonyteo9579]

young lady l am getting my backpack ready, all because of you, thanks alot!!😂😂

[@himanshuarya2704]

Anna, What is yeopjeon? I heard about it while watching new jeans video..

[@AroundMe_Ara]

nice video! it would be grat if you do a similar video but with vegetarian recomendations... for example traditional meals, side dishes, and street food that doesn´t contain fish or meat

[@amishatripathi5954]

I hope you do video on the vegetarian food in Korean market. It’s all beef and meat I heard.

[@himanshuarya2704]

Annyeong Anna 👋 👋

[@JohnCiaccio]

Its making me hungry for Korean food! Unfortunately we have only one authentic Korean restaurant here and it's very pricey for the size of the restaurant.

[@user-xl9gd4tt2u]

먹을때 너무 고급스러워요

[@mark_gbkr]

Love the Gucci couple

[@caspergamingph7119]

okay my anxiety striking again just because of that lil’ tteokbokki sauce on your hair 😣. Nonetheless, still love how you enjoy eating those yummy street foods 😍😍😍 hope I can visit South Korea soon too 🙏🙏
