Walk To Work With Me (숙대입구역부터 원효로동까지) - 🇰🇷 SEOUL WALK

[@ThatFreikugel]

These types of videos are the best. Minimal to no editing, no background music, just you and the person taking the video out for a walk. Keep it up

[@clifforddang5947]

Damn it, I'm second....haha. Anyway, I like how steady you hold the camera, it feels like I'm playing a video game and the micro phone works wonderfully which makes watching the videos even more enjoyable, thanks Cory!

[@clifforddang5947]

And I though you've been walking real gingerly this whole time...lol

[@ErikaLindberg]

This is like.. visual ASMR. Super relaxing video, it was really interesting as well. I live in Stockholm, which is very spaced out and spacious, so we don't really have a lot of small allies like this. It was really fun to see some pretty murals and colourful details, and I love the way the buildings are so unique to each other. It's like the opposite to our big graffiti tags and uniform, mutely coloured buildings.. very refreshing to the eyes. Can't wait to be able to explore Seoul's streets on my own. :)

[@Mort7an]

Thank you so much for taking the time to do this. Just brilliant. Those backstreets are endlessly fascinating and I feel this video will reward many repeat viewings. The fact that you are discovering new things and seem genuinely thrilled by the discovery and we can share in your sense of wonder makes such a simple idea quite compelling. There is always something meditative about walking around quiet streets in the morning before the world is fully awake and your calm voice-over perfectly compliments that. It's amazing how many of the store-fronts on the main streets at the beginning of the video have changed since the Google maps street-views were taken. Thanks again. Your videos are inspiring.

[@Guitarfreak2689]

Great to see a walking video again! I have always loved how you just randomly walk in any direction ㅋㅋㅋ I even get lost on the main roads

[@musafawundu6718]

I liked the machinery workshops and hardware stores...

[@cutymiro4659]

Wow! Excellent! Video, I enjoy seeing your video of the true Korea. There is a lot of small hills, no sidewalks only in the main city.

[@vuesweets]

Another great walking video. Love watching these. It's super simple yet very calming at the same time. I do agree about preserving old Seoul. Its very beautiful and so much history behind it.

[@vuesweets]

***** It will be sad for all the people who lived there for a long time to see their beautiful country be redeveloped with new high rises. I'm sure all the old buildings need to be redone but it will be sad to see it go.

[@awkwardaquamarine19]

I love these exploratory walks on the backstreets of Seoul. Better than Google street view IMO. I did something similar during my last day in Japan and walked about four square blocks around the neighborhood where I lived for a month. The houses are all beautiful and most of them have little Japanese gardens that are so adorable. Anyway, more power to you, sir. I hope to see more of these walks.

[@CoryMay81]

Thanks for the awesome comment Pam! Your walk around your block in Japan is exactly what got me into doing these walks. I grew up in Japan, and would always explore alleys and little streets to try and find hidden places or shortcuts when I was a teenager in the 90's. I always wanted to capture that feeling of exploring the alleys. So once I had the opportunity to do that with a GoPro in Seoul, I jumped on it right away. I hope you enjoy the rest of the SEOUL WALK playlist, and make sure to check out the VIETNAM WALK playlist as well! ^^

[@awkwardaquamarine19]

Will do, sir. Currently binge-watching all your walking tours right now. Love your vids!

[@anhphu7194]

Hi Cory, I love your alley walk and show the old, unusual details of these neighborhoods.

[@CoryMay81]

You're welcome! I really am happy that you are watching some of my older videos from Korea. I need to get back to doing more walking videos here in Vietnam. I spend most of my days editing and doing busy work on my laptop. T_T

[@chaeunhan3166]

8:21 omg I love how you say it like you're so used to it LOLOL

[@chaunguyen5813]

+Cory May ,I love your video clip. thank's somuch...!! got any more..??ha. ha. ha.! someone, moving there ..SHOT..VIDEO CAMERA. TOO FAST, when we're watching their movie,we're feeling headaged! but, your video clip is. NOT. thank's

[@RedmiXiaomiA3-y7e]

Good evening.happy new year next 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤

[@sweetaznspice1]

Hey Cory, Yet another interesting and informative video, love it. I relax in the evenings watching your videos and feel like I'm there walking with you. This video is particularly special because that was my neighborhood before our family immigrating to the states back in 1978! Our house was located at the uppermost part of that area, and what's interesting is that my mom told me that Wonhyoro-dong was like the Gangnam back then. In fact, one of our neighbors was/is the daughter of Lotte's founder. Would love to to get together with you and Marie if our schedules permit, as I plan to to do a grand tour of Korea in Spring07. So looking forward to it! Thanks again for posting these videos! Sam

[@sweetaznspice1]

Well, there goes the neighborhood, ha! That would be awesome to walk around my old neighborhood with you guys. Keep up the good work!

[@kohai8676]

I love these type of vids, like, someday I could walk those streets too and its exciting

[@kohai8676]

***** Yeah you're right! The only fear I have on doing that is to get really lost, but also it's a kind of experience too haha^^

[@hanags3605]

Is there a better way than starting the day with one of corys videos? No ^^ I loove those alleys they are so beautiful..but imagine to have to deliver the post there~ too confusing I think around the area is a racoons cafe? If its the same Womens University I mean ^^ Maybe you could do some "Weird cafes in Seoul"- Episode haha

[@dela_legit]

I love ur walking around videos, can you please do more 360 video's?😄❤️

[@celestine811]

It's nice when you go up alleys, never know what you might find. Always enjoy your walks interesting and good camera work just the right hight . Thank you so much.

[@reilea9977]

I love this! This video is the closest I will ever get to going here. Can't afford to go anywhere really. I especially like this because you didn't film it in bits and pieces, you know, film 5 seconds then stop, film something else for 5 seconds etc. It was a complete walk of where you're going so it was like I myself was there and that you were talking to me. This was also quite relaxing. Thank you for thinking of this and doing it for your viewers. I really do hope you do more of these....a lot of people like me wonder what the world looks like and can't really go anywhere for financial or physical reasons. Hmm, maybe you can do a separate type of video and title it "Around the World with Cory" unless you got friends who wanna do it with you, then it's "Around the World with Cory and Friends." Oooo, yes please!! 💙 💙

[@CoryMay81]

I love this comment!!! Don't worry, though. You'll get to travel one day if you make a little plan to put aside small amounts of money here and there from each paycheck. I promise even just $50 a month put into a savings you don't touch for a long time, will definitely be able to buy you a plane ticket and what not. And yes, these walking videos are meant to be just that... walking. And exploring, in real time, as opposed to edited clips smashed together. I just want people to see parts of Asia the way it really looks as if you were there. I'm so glad that comes across to viewers. ^^ Stay tuned for more walking videos from Vietnam!

[@reilea9977]

Feed The Cory Yaaaaaaay!!! Clapping hands and shaking like Kermit the frog 🐸 !

[@Sam-gb3sg]

Cool video Cory, please more of the same..little streets and restaurants! Plus markets are very interesting to!

[@yjun2]

I was born and grew up there until I moved to the United States more than 30 years ago. Amazingly you showed the house that I was actually born in (@22:05 - the house on the left with green door) and I can't believe those old houses are still there! I recognize all of them. Thank you very much!

[@yjun2]

Yup. My plan is to visit Korea next summer with my family. I would love to take my kids and walk the same streets as you did. I will definitely go back to the house and take some photos. :)

[@andreamoboe]

Ah, feeling nostalgic! Love the walking tours! Thanks Cory 😀😀

[@NevHeart]

I love these types of vlogs

[@milahh6422]

me too

[@NellaMars]

Hej, this may be the third or forth walk-around-vlog I see and I really like them. Unfortunately I never had the chance to travel to southeast asia (I'm from Switzerland), but it's on my bucket list. I have the impression that I get a good glimpse of what is expecting me, when I com to Hanoi, Seoul or other cities.

[@CoryMay81]

Oh very cool, I'm glad you can travel through my videos to these different places! And I'm also glad that it can help you with knowing kind of what to expect in terms of visuals, street sounds, etc.

[@g1yuhmdoongee]

I love these kind of videos Cory! I'm not into asmr but the sound of your voice and the sound of the cars passing by made this video so relaxing.. at least to me lol

[@lizmalin3194]

Thank you Cory for all of your work in making this vlog. I just love and appreciate all of this.

[@CoryMay81]

You're welcome Liz! ^^ Glad you enjoyed it. You should make sure to watch the entire Seoul Walk playlist!

[@paulh4430]

This was fun to watch! You walked right by my workplace. We're basically office neighbors!

[@debb0r]

I loved this! thanks again :)

[@hangoutinkorea]

I just found your channel and had a chance to look back what I've done in making videos for introducing Korean culture. Got hit by your chilling video and you inspires me ! :) Thank you !

[@davecms]

Cory, We really enjoyed your walk to work video. I worked at Yongsan Base for 7 years and explored the areas quite a bit around there. We are very familiar with the road to Sookmyung Women's University and all the great food places but you ventured down some back alley places that I never explored. Really nice exploring the area with you

[@Misscinnabon]

Ywessssss. A walking video. Always look forward to it. 🌼🌼

[@MrCharlieAL]

hope to see more of this, especially the ones you used to film while riding a bike.

[@saepark2542]

brings back childhood memories much nostalgia I used to live at 흑석동 right over the 동작대교 next to 노량진 thanks I also like older rustic places.

[@saepark2542]

+Cory May thank you I am gonna visit in September and that would be awesome.

[@RobertsBrainIsGone]

I always love seeing the roll-up security doors and garage doors that have the splashes of color every few bars. I wonder about why they're like that all throughout S. Korea, but I never ask because I think deep down inside, I just don't want the answer to be something like "well, there's only one company that makes them and that's the only design they make." lol I also love how the cars there always have the blue door stops attached. Here in the US, people always make their cars JDM or EUDM, but it's rare to see one converted to KDM. Just a few weeks ago, though, I saw a Kia Optima with the KDM emblem, the badge switched to the K5 counterpart, AND with the blue door stops attached. I got a little jealous because that's exactly what I would have done if I had one, but I can't part ways with my JDM Infiniti.

[@taekim9556]

Thank you, I've enjoyed watching all your videos. Your "Korean Street Food: Myeongdong Winter Street Food Tour" is my favorite because there is a lot of action going on, however, your everyday walk through streets videos are interesting also. It's just an idea but I think that you are an excellent candidate for a large production Korean documentary of Korean street food and it's modern developments for the Discovery Channel for western countries. You definitely would want May in it because she is such a warm person. A documentary for couples wanting to visit Korea one day, it would be unique.

[@taekim9556]

I saw your EBS travel video, it was tailored for the Korean market for Koreans only, that's great, but I was talking more international. You and Marie would be perfect because international viewers would receive not total Korean-looking hosts better, it would be in English. You already have many things going for you, you have many very interesting KZbin videos that people would like to experience first hand, but it does not encompass everything, and enough for a large scale production. A documentary has to be very exciting to watch and profitable from its commercials and cable affiliates for it to be a success, and you know it has to be a hit. Since you are already well versed in Korea, I think that it would be easy for you to show the whole world the greatest things of Korea. Here's an example: Korea has one of the best rated airports in the world, you could show its grandness and how easy it is to travel. You could tell your viewers and future visitors how to best go from one great exciting place to the next through its subways and transit system that you explain in ease. Definitely, show the speed of modern development like the city of Seoul itself and a few of the other big cities and its great and unique developments, from a poor to modern nation in a short period of time. Show it from the top of the tallest building, from a moving helicopter during the day and night (night at sunset, when the city is lit, this is amazing of any city in the world), and finally, on the street which you're already expert at, looking up and around. Definitely, show the Myeongdong street food market when its busy and lit up beautifully, also the other hustling and bustling markets during the day like you have in your exiting videos. Show some of the great food in the restaurants like the barbecue, mixed rice in hot pot, hot boiling stews, etc. They make my mouth water. Show people why they want to visit Korea like for its great cosmetic products. Show the interesting changes from the old to the new generation. Use some good horizon music for the background like in the movies. Everything can be condensed in a one hour documentary but it should contain a lot of action, quickly going from one thing to the next, to make it exciting and make people want to visit Korea right now, to see an amazing, exciting, newly developed country of modern enhancements and mouth watering food of the best street food in the world, but also show the great, delicious restaurant food. Show me another place in the world that buzzes street food like Korea, nowhere, it's not the best food in the world but it's one of the best worth showing. You could mention why you want to try Korean food, like Kimchee and Soybean sauce or paste that have one of the most prolific beneficial bacteria that cleanse the body of pollutants, boost the immune system, and greatly help digest food. Actually, Korea has one of the most fermented foods in the world for that matter. You should talk to KBS, EBS and other stations' execs if this is something you like to do.. Hope I've helped. Thank you for all your videos. I thoroughly enjoyed them.

[@papaflickr]

Love these alleys and all the decay ! :-)

[@CoryMay81]

Thanks Dom! Make sure to watch all my Seoul Walk and Vietnam Walk videos! Vietnam has some awesome alleys and decayed facades as well.

[@808slowly]

Thanks Cory! I am glad you enjoy doing these walks because we enjoy watching it. It takes patience to do what you are doing for sure. I tried it but didn't get the same results!!

[@lapearlablooms9651]

Hi Cory,u neva fail me... always luv your vlogs....excellent work..

[@이재완-d8b]

Aren't you coming back soon? I miss your video. I wish I can see your other video soon.

[@CoryMay81]

I live in Vietnam now. So you can see my new videos about Vietnam. ^^ I will visit Korea maybe in winter time... before February 2018. When I visit, I will make videos there.

[@shannenlee2011]

wow, it's really quiet in the morning! And the video is like taking me to real Korea, cool!!

[@shannenlee2011]

+Cory May you're right!!! That's why I love 코리 'n 메이!! You're cool~ keep on doing what you're doing now! 화이팅!!!

[@shannenlee2011]

+Cory May oops...I didn't know that's your last name...thought it was the way you address Marie...😓 anyway, I'll be in Korea in June...for vacation. There're so many places I'd like to visit and there're so many things I'd like to try! And, I'm kindergarten Mandarin teacher...I'm so curious about kindergartens in Korea! Hopefully I have the chance to visit. Haha...too many things I'd like to share with you 'n Marie...

[@BLACKOREANangel88]

nice long walk! so you stopped teaching for now and runnin ur business? yall are doing so well for yourselves in korea! ^^♡♡ so happy for you guys! ^^♡

[@BLACKOREANangel88]

nice man! ♡♡ ^^ korea opens so many doors!

[@BLACKOREANangel88]

+Cory May that is one amazingly fantastic thing about meeting your life partner. you can help and support each other in your dreams. i cant wait to find my partner... so much i wanna do that im working towards on my own but with a partner it would be that much better! so proud and happy for you guys!

[@BLACKOREANangel88]

+Cory May that is one amazingly fantastic thing about meeting your life partner. you can help and support each other in your dreams. i cant wait to find my partner... so much i wanna do that im working towards on my own but with a partner it would be that much better! so proud and happy for you guys!

[@jongapong]

Subscribed! I don't want to be too demanding but hope you could do this kind of walking tour atleast once a week.. :)

[@kenjix1794]

really nice walk to your office😃👌🏻

[@misosoup7275]

Hi, Cory! I really really love this video. So relaxing. And I like you voice too.

[@chiefrivera]

Corey, as always great video. We really enjoy and find them to be very informative. We are so excited for our move and your videos are one of the main reasons for that. Hope to run into you soon. I will be there in about a week.

[@jcbaily5559]

You always do such a great job with your videos....thanks!

[@theorginalsnaxyz]

Amazing video. I hope i can travel there someday-. Btw i think first person videos are better than 360 videos because you have to have a really fast internet to get decent resolution plus you get distracted a lot.

[@SAA-ys7mi]

How was the weather that day? I really enjoy the Seoul walk videos ❤️

[@beryosa]

amazing video. I enjoyed it very much. especially old places. thank you for it.

[@NevHeart]

Wo!!! Clicked on the notification soon as I opened my screen lol

[@NevHeart]

+Cory May Besides the barbed wire above some houses, it was my first time ever seeing a home with foam tile/roofing....I do wonder what will happen to the homes & architecture from years ago 😟😟 on a lighter note, I absolutely LOVE the startup program free for new companies, it's so awesome!

[@EMK19]

Yay for these walk & talking videos, love them as always. Would be great if you can do more of these whenever you can! It was cool to see this particular neighbourhood as I never had the chance to really explore it fully (although I've been to the nearby Hyochang park which is very nice).

[@EMK19]

+Cory May Yeah, that is truly a damn shame. I was actually born in Seongsan-Dong in Mapo-Gu, and I grew up in a neighbourhood which actually resembled the one you walked in the latter half of the video... but now it's basically unrecognizable now because the area was converted to DMC and WC stadium... they're also planning to redevelop the Yongsan Electronics Market entirely by 2020 which I am also very bitter about...

[@MaG-lw7sm]

This is so chill~~

[@cocktailbunny8046]

As always a very joyefull walk with you , i hope you enjoyed your new work and pleaaase do more videos cuz you are really good at them

[@jayromano7054]

I love all your videos! You are the best! Thanks for sharing.

[@MrRagamuffin13]

thanks love your walks

[@tisonly143]

Enjoyed!! Looking forward to watching more of these :)

[@kymberleyuk007]

another great video cory - as for those flowers you liked, we have them in our garden in the UK. Im coming over in october as you know, so i can see if im allowed to bring a couple over if you like. Give my love to marie please :) x

[@RobertsBrainIsGone]

+Cory May No joke, I typed "cool flower" into Google Image Search and a very similar flower came up called Oseospermum ssp, wefollowpics.com/cool-looking-flower-osteospermum-spp/. When I searched that, I found more similar flowers called African Daisies. Check those out and let us know if they're it. They're soooooo cool!

[@bttrlamb]

Great video Cory, basically came to say what everyone else did - love the walk videos, the subtle comments compliment the walk and the sights haha. By the way - in your experience of being in Korea for a while now, are there cities in other provinces that have a similar feel and look as this one? This type of atmosphere is what I love and I'm hoping when I go I'll be in an area like this. Keep up the great work man

[@bttrlamb]

Hey man, think of it as your duty to document this for the greater good of the Koreans who want to cherish the historic significance! haha Thanks for the insight, I'm looking forward to more videos.

[@scubiduugmail]

amazing vlogs , like it so much bro :)

[@thatdude123]

at T-world it's basically like T-moblie of S.K.

[@RepublicOfAce]

Awesome video yet again! Btw what's your camera set up for this walking video?

[@marypercoski3326]

Cory, appreciate your adventurous spirit and taking us along with you on your walk. This may seem like an odd question... I noticed piles of recycling, however, no trash cans...will you elaborate on how Korea deals with their trash?

[@marypercoski3326]

Thanks Cory! I appreciate your response!

[@PrincessMeganElsaBoo]

😘 Korea! 😘 yay walk video !

[@PrincessMeganElsaBoo]

+Cory & Marie (코리 & 마리) lmao

[@pilnymarek]

when you were saying old I was wondering how old these buildings can be, like 70s (except that old house)?

[@irmahapsari3748]

your video so helpful because i've plan to go to seoul next week and will stay in sookmyung univ. station area.... may i know, is there escalator in exit 6 at the station? thanks before :)

[@readysetsleep]

What are those metal bins you keep walking by ex. 20:13? I was thinking trash bins, but Seoul Korea it is impossible to find a street trash receptacle .

[@readysetsleep]

+Cory May It was right between the black sedan and fence. Yup with the rounded top.

[@EpicHawk]

I was just there! I've been following your videos for a long time and I'm finally in Korea I didn't realize that you lived there haha. Have you been to the Racoon cafe there? haha It's called "Blind Alley" haha I went there the other day it was fun lol

[@EpicHawk]

+Cory May omg thanks for the reply! I'm a huge fan :D

[@amanteliteraria1904]

Estás muy guapo☺️

[@이뽀미-c1t]

Thank your for the upload! Can i ask you something? What makes the video screen so stable? It's not really shaking although you were walking.. Just curious..!

[@Pferdekopfnebel]

Imaginary Yongsan-gu park?! Hey Cory! Here's a question for you (I feel like there's a glitch in the matrix^^): If I look at 37,528785, 126,979226 in Bing maps aerial, there is a park/forest. If I look at it in Google maps, 37.528785, 126.979226 there is no park. Bird's eye view in Bing maps also shows no park. Can you confirm there is no park/forest? :D

[@Pferdekopfnebel]

+Cory May Haha, thanks for clarifying it. I figured that Bing was showing the wrong thing. But it's so strange that they simply replaced it with a forest.

[@allu4385]

Great video as always! Was it hard for you to find a job other than English teacher in Seoul? I heard it's quiet hard for foreigners to get any other job except translator or teacher in Korea

[@allu4385]

***** oh ok, thanks a lot!

[@biglance]

more walk arounds man, u could do one a week, and get a lot of views, I suggest up in the Sungbuk Dong area...or Hyehwa...Sungshin Women's univ. just tons of areas that people would find interesting i think. peace.

[@debb0r]

I wonder, like how you see those "random" people down those alleys... is it common to say hi or hello when you meet someone (you dont know) who walking in the other direction?? or would people look weird at you??

[@thatdude123]

it's night in America

[@lugosi213]

With all of these walking videos do you own a vehicle or do you just walk everywhere?

[@KpopNiDontStop]

felt like I was playing a video game LOL.

[@xiufairy_99]

Hi! If I may ask, how did you end up in Korea? I want to find a job and live in Korea as well so I'm studying my Korean really hard :) What so you do there? P.S. Does a day usually starts that late in Korea? A day here in the Philippines starts at around 8-9 o'clock.

[@koreanpathfinder]

What kind of visa do you have?

[@MJ20always]

What does the numbers where the cars are parked mean?

[@NevHeart]

I wondered myself

[@karens1fan836]

So, is there only places that are open during specific times of the day? Like, I know that in America(as I'm sure you know as well) that we have all restaurants open during the day, but all of them close except for bars. I'm a little surprised that not *EVERYONE* is suuupper skinny and not everyone is suuuuuper fit. Most of the people there look like Otaku's who actually walk. Is there a sportsy trend going on? Cause I know I've seen quite a few males and females wearing joggers/jogging pants. Sorry if I'm asking a lot of questions! >< I'm just suuuupppeeerrr curious~! I know there's a couple of KZbinrs out there, but they don't really *show* and or explain a lot of the stuff there.

[@karens1fan836]

I'd like to say first is that I'm a little flustered and surprised that you wrote back! *0* When I mean Otaku's I was referring it as the stereotype of Otaku. Where Otaku's are white/pale cause they don't go out in the day light and exercise. I guess that was me trying to pull a very poorly executed joke. ^w^ll Ohhhh~ So basically my assumptions were correct about the whole sportsy look~ I will be going there next year hopefully as long as everything goes as planned! Thank you again for responding to my questions. Thank you thank you~

[@beryosa]

may I ask you where do you work? I only sow sheer up start up.

[@MikTheAsianMan]

So, are you guys married now?

[@biglance]

You know, u could have walked in the opposite direction of Seoul Yok, at Sook Dae Yok, taken a right and went under that underpass to get where you were at at the 7 min. mark, it takes like 3-4 min.,pretty sure u know that, prob. u just went that way to show people those shops. peace man.

[@schuuichiminamino]

I don't know why, this looks like VR (virtual reality) lol I just feel like I went for a walk \o\

[@BLACKOREANangel88]

ps looks like we are in a video game towards the end in the neighborhood lol.

[@BLACKOREANangel88]

+Cory May always something new to find in korea if you go off course. ♡♡ love it

[@Adopt_dont_shop]

It's a little bit quiet and lonely in there, why?

[@chaunguyen5813]

No one going around on that 's times..??? where they're.?? maybe, thay're going to ..WORK or somethings..?? very quiet.!!

[@KpopNiDontStop]

holy barbed wire is there a lot of robberies in that area in that area?

[@broyshbro3231]

I'm curious, can you actually live without owning a car in Korea? If so then that's amazing! In my country, you have to have a car otherwise you're fucked and by fucked I mean stuck at home and the public transport here is the worst. UGH I WANT TO WORK OVERSEAS SO BAD!!! :(

[@juneseongmin]

the back alley is surprising consider clean from trash and stufd. if this were in malaysia full of trash random staff smells that makes u wanna puke.

[@KCHSG]

Should have stayed in Korea instead of Vietnam 😄

[@CoryMay81]

Why?
