Korea's traditional district, Insadong (한국의 전통 지역 인사동 ) - 🇰🇷 SEOUL WALK

[@StationIolausUK]

Love these walk around videos. Thank You Cory.

[@sanzoparty1066]

What another wonderful video. I love that camera stick you are using because you really do feel like we are walking with you but I do not feel a bit of motion sickness! LOL!

[@MariasMaryMagdalene]

Nice tour. This is one of the best that I've seen. Nice and steady camera work and filmed at a nice pace. Looking forward to watching more. :)

[@NemoAdam]

Thanks for your awesome vids. My family used to live in Seoul and it's nice to be able to experience your beautiful, vibrant city again.

[@catchuza]

You are a lot better than google earth Korea,thank you for sharing :D

[@davecms]

Cory, thanks for sharing Insadong. It is such a special place that Wifey and I truly enjoy visiting. Insadon and Jongak are some of our most favorite places to hang out in Seoul. I can't wait to get back to get caught up on all the changes. I especially can't wait to get back to Insadong and try Hotteok. Its like one of my favorite street foods.

[@toyland12]

I enjoyed your video style and narration. It felt very natural and you described things well.

[@CoryMay81]

Thank you for the kind words, I really appreciate it! ^^

[@chloelikestovlog7721]

This is such a great video. I liked how you filmed it as it felt like I was actually there! I wish I had the chance to go to Insadong when I went to Korea. Hope you do more videos like this of more places in Korea :)

[@BleekRocafella]

Very nice, friend) All videos are interesting!)

[@michaelchu2636]

Love the video. Left Korea back in 1979. I have been back few times but these type of video reminds me of good old days.

[@sultrysinner89]

u can make several videos starting with the restaurants ther and with the palace if they let u films there...those ceramic shops were so cute specially the first one...thanks for sharing corey

[@tedinooue]

Your camera and your "filming" are so nice ! Thank you for sharing the beautiful Seoul !

[@markstanley2001]

***** Hi Cory, I would recommend going with the Hero4 Silver (i'm very glad I did)... The inbuilt screen is invaluable (especially when using with 3 axis gimbal) and unless you absolutely need 4K recording, the Black is overkill for most people I think. The Silver performs exceptionly well at night (even slightly better than the Black) and the clarity of the Silver is outstanding (falling just below the Black, although again for most people this is a non-issue)

[@Guitarfreak2689]

Another great video, i love the walk videos too! I recognise insadong well :P You should of gone down all the alley ways too, i would still watch it if it was 8 hours long ㅋㅋㅋ

[@jamie9758]

Wow this video is great! Gives me an idea what to see in Insadong for my holiday next month! I hope I won't get lost.

[@butchlara]

Thank you for doing this!

[@HeatherH80207]

I really enjoyed this video. I was born in Seoul and left when I was little. Always curious about the culture.

[@f1dex]

I know I have said it befor but I just like alot when you go walking and explaining everything you see.It really make me feel that I´m over there. Thanks alot!!

[@f1dex]

thanks, I will look foward to it :)... and i hope that your new bussines with Korea Curated its doing great.

[@Tipper1941]

Great walkabout!

[@badetteforme9152]

Wow! Thnks for that tour🤗 ill be going to Seoul soon and i'll be staying in Insadong. At least now, i have an idea what to do and see in that place. Also i've been watching some if your videos that for all of that.

[@brentv.pacifico-irwin4627]

500th Like and saved into my Korea Playlist as a must do for my Seoul and Busan trip this month! 🍻

[@CoryMay81]

Thanks! ^^ I hope my Korea videos help you

[@BLACKOREANangel88]

So much stuff! I should do a walk around downtown daegu. Its def not as big as this but its a nice size would take maybe 4 20min videos to get all of the main downtown area. i like to see your area! :) pretty cool lol thx!

[@jcbaily5559]

What a great video, thanks! Hopefully, some day soon, I can visit Seoul. Though I have not had the pleasure of visiting Korea, I do have friends that use to fly over frequently for shopping and sightseeing. Best wishes to you and Marie.

[@madeinkonada]

Thanks for thinking of me! I am away in France on business and watching Cory's vids from here. Feels strange to have not seen them before he uploads but cool to step back and see how others see.

[@Cr4zyTe4Pot]

I love those little back-alleyways! So cool. I feel like I could explore those forever. Great place to find 'hidden treasures' that are away from the masses. There is also something about them that just makes you want to explore and almost intentionally get lost. Same allure that mazes have, maybe? My favorite places to find are shops or restaurants or maybe even a library that are away from the main paths and are nearly hidden. You could walk right by them and not know that they're there, but once you step through it's like stepping into a pocket dimension or something. Very cool to experience.

[@silvinho13]

Great video again bud.. I remember I checked out a Buddhist temple, just around the corner from the top of the road where you ended the video. As you say though, so many elements to Insadong to cram into a short video.. Keep up the good work!..

[@melissakarriem7889]

I was there yesterday!! I took my children to alive museum. Korea is awesome place to visite.Thanks for the videos. Back to North Carolina tomorrow!!

[@melissakarriem7889]

Thank you!!

[@meenaparkau]

I like it thanks

[@Palaemon124]

probably going here today!

[@tommyencoreadelsur]

Been living in Korea for 2 years now and I have not explore that area yet, thanks for the idea. :)

[@ettenadra]

Hi! Can you tell me where the nearest train/subway station is to here? I have my eyes on that little store selling dreamcatchers in front of Olive Young :) (if it is still there when we visit)

[@tangiers365]

Nice video bud. So how was Easter in Korea. Do they celebrate it, what happened etc.?

[@EMK19]

Insadong! I actually love this place more for their various street food rather than the traditional stuff (which I find is kind of touristy-ed out here now and better experienced in the countryside), lol. Have you tried those Turkish Ice cream that can be seen in the beginning of the video, it's pretty fun how they play around with you and the ice cream isn't too shabby either haha. Love those waffle/cane ice creams and hotteok from here as well.

[@gabelgreen297]

Insadong used to be such a quaint place, with a few antique chests , potteries, gifts , dojang (hanko), and tea shops. Hope they will renew the place to show Korea's aesthetic cultural heritage that went down to Japan over something like 500 years. Some of these shops now may be run by S.E. Asians such as Vietnamese because a Russian man, TV personality in Korea from Utah married a Vietnamese female.

[@Lurkinginvisibleme]

Hey Cory, what time do you think it would be best to shop in areas like insadong and edae? visiting Korea next week😊

[@user-wk2qi6ip3z]

My best Wishes to All kinds of Your County. From me Baza Fahad.Riadh.Kingdom of Saudi Arabia 💖💖

[@user-wk2qi6ip3z]

My family and I went to Korea last Summer. It'sVery Beautiful place . I wish to go again 💖💖💖. .

[@Bl00DCrystal333]

I really wish your videos were longer. I enjoy watching, and seeing such great places. I used to live in Okinawa Japan, and I never explored. i regret it now, :( I also never took videos of the great places out there, sigh.Thank you for the videos, will enjoy them more as you make them. :)

[@Bl00DCrystal333]

***** I hope you get the chance to visit your birth place in Japan, thanks for the reply. I love all your videos, and have friends ask about South Korea, your videos help alot, thank you so much. Is Holidays in korea celebrated like here in the States? Again thanks for the reply, :)

[@Bl00DCrystal333]

***** Thank you so much for your reply, I will enjoy your Halloween video, thank you so much :)

[@MagePyonn]

Hi cory! Thanks for your awesome videos! it helps a lot :") since I'm working a novel with korea as the setting. I wonder if maybe you could link me one of your videos with the best places for foods and restaurants? since I need to find seoul area with a lot of restaurants and cafes >< Had clicked some of your videos but still couldn't find it yet. I'dappreciate your help a lot!

[@MagePyonn]

Oh my God, I commented without any expectation of you'll actually reply it. And in addition, you reply it with so much detail. Thank you so much!! It means a lot :) please do make the videos in the future! I'm looking forward to it. For now i'll just check the places that you mention above from your videos and google, i guess. Thank you so much once more! ^^

[@MagePyonn]

***** Thank you so much! I did watch your Itaewon video and that's exactly what I've been looking for! I just kinda curious since i saw a lot of flags ( usa, japan, korea, canada, etc ) hanging above itaewon streets. Is that like a trademark for itaewon or just temporary? Thank you so much once more >

[@hah6652]

What kind of camera and len did you use? Video quality is pretty good.Thanks for showing us around Korea Traditional District.

[@kyongokkang9665]

Good job, buddy !

[@myaa5325]

For seven days , what is the main places to go in Seoul ? and what is the good traditionnal restaurants that you tested ?

[@TheFreeFlow]

Oh well 2 things, for one: Your new fixator is definitely an improvement, your camera is much more smooth and less shacky now. For another: You said it is gonna get even more crowded later at day? Wow lol... In my oppinion what you show us is pretty crowded already, reminds me of berlin where I live. And you say it gets even even worse later at day? Omfg..... lol^^ Even more crowded then that? Reminds me in that sense of new york, or big cities in china --> crowded as hell to.

[@jillthompson6110]

***** Seoul city (excluding the metro area) is actually 9.5 million. The population in Seoul has actually shrunk from 10 million, five years ago, as there has been a rush of people moving out the suburbs (as well as the fact that South Korea's birth rate is now the lowest rate in the world).

[@yolandasbox]

Hello what month is this? And can you please tell me about the weather in November, is it cold as in super cold thank you.

[@gavingallagher3816]

Is Hollister clothing popular in Korea ? Because everytime I go to the Fashion Show mall in DT Las Vegas it is FULLL of Korean tourists ! Lol

[@jhalyacacio3002]

hi.. can u please tell me the direction how to go there, which line and exit? i'm planning to go there next sunday for souvenirs.. thanks!

[@trinious2511]

When do you think is the best time to visit Insadong ? I'm going to Seoul next month so can you please recommend me a good navigation app? I wanna use walking function on googlemaps but it seems to be impossible. Thank you.

[@jace3167]

Though I have visited Korea once in every 1-2 years, I haven't lived there for 10 years now.. Miss living in Korea so much :( But Thanks Cory watching your videos alleviates my homesickness. I would also love to see a video about Yeouido and Kondae one day.. I haven't been to Yeouido for 10 years and I completely forgot how it looks like! :P I only remember the good old 63 building.. And with Kondae it's my personal favorite haha the Ttukseom resort/park and Kondae's amazing streets always intrigues me

[@jace3167]

***** thanks a lot!

[@mypabostuff]

really love these videos of you walking around and talking ^^ I was wondering if you use the in built mic of the gopro or do you use an other mic? I know the gopro mic is not the best but your audio is really nice. I like how you can hear a little bit of the background but your voice is still clear when you talk

[@Mariochavezmendoza12]

Very cool that you live in Korea!! Quick questions. How long are you planning on staying in seoul ? Do you ever plan on moving back to the states??

[@Mariochavezmendoza12]

***** Woah, thats awesome! I'm Glad you enjoy living there! Yes! Stay abroad keep on & venture the world!

[@nadiahaj7871]

[@madeinkonada]

[@nadiahaj7871]

Marie Frenette yaaay

[@amc3]

Could you imagine $5000 of brushes sitting in the street in the US or UK ......... .they would grow legs and walk... ... ! Korean people are so much more trustworthy and honest.

[@amc3]

I never lock my car and my house doors are often unlocked, but I stay in the Scottish Highlands, its a very safe place to live. I could not do that in Manchester, Edinburgh or London.

[@digital6string1]

Hi Cory,Thanks for another wonderful video.I noticed,unlike Japan,vending machines don't appear to exist in South Korea.Are there many, or any in S Korea? Thanks.

[@CoryMay81]

There are vending machines, but not as many as in Japan. Korea has them for sure, inside subway stations, shopping malls, near public parks, etc. You won't see any in this video because this is in the Insa-dong neighborhood. This area has a long history tied to traditional Korean art, music, and tea. So there are certain standards specifically for this neighborhood. For example, not long after I filmed this video, the city started banning many of the non-traditional street food vendors because it was getting out of control with random street food items that weren't Korean. All the stores in this area must have their sign in Korean first, and if there's English, it has to be smaller than the Korean letters. There's some other guidelines for this neighborhood as well. They just want to preserve it without turning it into another Myeongdong full of foreign businesses, foreign foods, etc. For example, the Starbucks in this area was the first in the world to have their sign be not in English. So it stays Starbucks in Hangeul, and then in smaller letters it says Starbucks in English. Hope this helps!

[@WINailArt]

can you do a video or just write down some problems in Seoul? Or just a bunch of fact about Seoul? I'm writing an essay about Seoul and i could really use your help! :)

[@RoseSharesWhatSheKnows2016]

[@MegaZeb786]

***** Thank you for the info! I will be traveling to Seoul in March 2016 for 17 days, I will definitely check this place out.

[@MegaZeb786]

***** Oh sweet! I will definitely write these places down, also before I come I will do a last check up on your channel if I have all the places I am interested in noted down hahaha. Since I will be traveling alone for the first time in Korea do you think I will find it lonely or will I be occupied so much that I wont feel loneliness lol

[@MegaZeb786]

+Cory May Meeting would be awesome! I'll be coming to Seoul from 18th March to 2nd April, tbh i'm not good at going up to people and starting a random conversation but once i talk to someone i can open up quite fast lol
