[@mheavillebillones6349]

[@maziahnadirah8639]

Aileen Adalid may i ask what kind of camera and apps did u use for this vid ?

[@jaylimbo1387]

Aileen Adalid hi pakopya itinerary, well be in seoul with my wife and 9yr old daughter, i wanna visit un mga di nmin napuntahan last 2016 because busan and seoul lang kami 2 years ago

[@Anastravel]

Hi! I am a Korean. Your video is reallyyyy touched. I think this is the best traveling Seoul video. You designed interesting, memorable experience in here. 🙋🏻‍♀️

[@iAmAileenTV]

Awww, thank you so much! I'm very happy to hear that because I loved Seoul!

[@joyceePOVs]

Hi Aileen, your VLOG's the best. Not dragging to look at plus you get to squeeze in a lot of the sights you've seen. So awesome. I love that you take time to respond to those who leave comments too even if some of us gets to ask the same question over and over lol. ❤️ More power and we'll all be looking forward to your future trips too.

[@iAmAileenTV]

Aww, thank you so much, Joycee! I'm very happy to hear that

[@jomarpanado5367]

My geddddd im getting so excited na....ill be flying to seoul next month and will stay there for 7 days also 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍

[@GenghisKhan-Shaman]

Definitely one of the better videos I've seen of a short trip to Seoul...Well done!

[@khalidbashir]

Excellent and Concise. One of the very best video on visiting Korea.

[@LetsExplore307]

One of the things I really want to do in South Korea is visit the DMZ and all it's location. Learn from the local people what really happen during those horrible years of war and if they really believe in the unification of the peninsula

[@iAmAileenTV]

With the guide I've met, they surely wish for peace and reunification. :) Rest assured, DMZ tours are still ongoing. JSA tours though are currently on hold I think.

[@xyro.3769]

Omygod!!Seoul is so beautiful place,I hope I can go to Seoul skl.😘✨

[@wandering_hams]

there's so much history, well integrated with modern architecture. Great vid!

[@oc7606]

I visited Korea last year and it was one of my favorite cities. Hope I can go back this year. Your video brought back memories!

[@구독용-o8y]

Hi Aileen I'm a born and bred Seoulite but this video is really pleasant to look at I'm watching it on my commute lol. Hope you had a lot of fun in Seoul! :)

[@lyynelyn8676]

Yeahh... will be there next year... tq for your amazing video...it is very helpful.. 😊😊

[@traveldesiboy]

I will go south Korea between 22 to 28 for my business work after finish my work I definitely go these places.... 7 days enjoy Korea.

[@dangolissue]

I love my country SEOUL KOREA!!!

[@adnanabdrahman445]

Hi... Korean knows better the attraction places to visit. I'm planning for Korea trip on end of march. Wait for me..!

[@PeaceMonsterXXL]

i must say i really enjoyed your video. one of the few who actually feature other things besides myeongdong food and beauty shops. i´m going to visit there in 5 months and it feels as if everybody highlights the same attractions. thank you for sharing your experiences ^^

[@iAmAileenTV]

Thank you so much, this makes me really happy to hear! I hope I have helped give you some ideas, and do enjoy your trip! Let me know how it goes :D In case you want some more info, feel free to check my itinerary post about Seoul: iamaileen.com/seoul-itinerary-diy-south-korea-travel-guide-7-days-things-to-do-nights/ All the best!

[@ilf1992]

Honestly,there are so many ways and wide opened to the tourists to visit different kinds of place in Seoul. Seoul is actually part of the most inspired cities to the world with New York City, Shanghai, Tokyo, London, or Paris. We love BTS that mostly inspires from Korean ideas. South Korea and Seoul are becoming so popular to the world due to the BTS and Gangnam Style.

[@inthenow6701]

Love your video..and the background you chose..it makes me wanna dance while watching it!

[@AmiFriendsStudio]

What an impressive travel video. So professionally done. You really captured the trip in an exciting and interesting way. You are very talented!

[@artificialintelligence6605]

I’m impressed of how you edited the video. It’s very beautiful and the music is nice too 👍

I really like your video. So amazing South Korea 😀😍 how I wish I could go there 😞😔

[@phaxiong7794]

I loved your scenes they look so good. Especially that guy in the beginning he looked like he was in a movie and filming lol.

[@dempsyallexineordidor2925]

Its from a movie tho?

[@iAmAileenTV]

@@dempsyallexineordidor2925 I think he's referring to the scene at 00:00 :)

[@Animalguardflag]

Korea's current popularity, such as squid games and BTS, seems to be at its peak. There are many countries where Korea's unique culture has flourished economically since World War II, but I don't think there is a country like Korea that has developed culture, economy, and politics (in turn).I'm a beginner at CNN who makes videos introducing Korean stories that foreigners envy. When will I be able to make this much?It's hard to be on the news...I learned a lot.What I want to have endlessly is the power of culture...In particular, Seoul is a city where the past and future are harmonized.

[@mlo6898]

Wow! It’s such a beautiful place. I can’t wait to go!

[@jay-rflores9212]

Seoul n tower light color means air condition of Seoul. red is bad. Green is good. So people can know condition in the distance.

Ooh, thanks for that trivia! I didn't know that!

[@iAmAileenTV]

Shelley's Cloud thank you so much! I’m happy to hear that ☺️

[@darrennguyen3196]

Hi, i'd like to check with you. The discovery pass will only activate on the date you enter the attraction right? You can use it as T-Money card without activating the pass usage? For example, i bought the 2 -day pass and indicate the usage will happen on 22. However, i arrive at Seoul on 21 and use it as T-money card on 21. Will this activate the discovery pass? Thanks

[@iAmAileenTV]

Hey Darren! Yes, the Discovery Pass can already be used as a T-Money card - but that won't trigger the start date of your use for the attractions. You can read more about this as well as other Seoul tips here: iamaileen.com/seoul-itinerary-south-korea/ Hope it helps!

[@darrennguyen3196]

@@iAmAileenTV thanks Aileen for the info. Much appreciated

[@Digitalnomad8]

how much are the Korean dress rentals? i'm traveling there next year; asking for my daughters.

[@iAmAileenTV]

They cost only about $15~. You can find more details here: iamaileen.com/hanbok-rental-how-to-rent-korean-clothing-day-seoul-south-korea/

I went in late March so that's around spring :D If you go September, that's after summer and start of autumn. Shouldn't be too cold.

[@catherinejoy4965]

Hello Ms. Aileen! I just want to ask how did you get to Bukchon Hanok Village from Gyeongbokgung Palace? We are planning to have a walking tour since we will be wearing Hanbok clothing (from Seowha) - is it okay if we ride a train? Or did you just have a walking tour?

[@iAmAileenTV]

Hey! I just walked around by myself, no need to get a tour so you can chill more and control your time. Everything is pretty close anyway :) Buckhon is quite near to the Palace. You can use the Naver map app because Google Maps walking directions doesn't work in Korea. Hope that helps!

[@annecenteno]

Hi Aileen! I'm Anne. I'm traveling to Korea for the first time and its my first solo travel! Can you please tell me which app works for directions there? My friends say their Google Maps didnt work most of the time. Hope to hear back from you! Thanks!

[@iAmAileenTV]

Yes, Google Maps doesn't work when it comes to walking routes (only works on public transpo and driving). I used Naver Maps when I was there :) You can try it out.

By the way.. what transportation do you use from placea to places... do you ride a subway? Like From downtown to Dora observatory.. that was a awesome part of your vlog..

[@iAmAileenTV]

@@jazenhusain4177 Yep, I mainly used the subway :D It's quite easy. But are you referring to the trip to DMZ? If so, that can only be reached via a tour because the government doesn't allow trips there without going with a tour company. Hope that helps!
