This Area in Gangnam is Not What We Expected! 🇰🇷 Random Subway Trip #12

#seoul #korea #koreanfood
Hello everyone! We went on another random subway adventure, and went to a neighbourhood just one stop away from Gangnam Station (강남역) called Yangjae Station (양재역). To be honest, we didn’t know much about it except for the flower market and that it has a Costco, so we started exploring a traditional market first called Yangjae Market (양재시장), but it has definitely seen better days, as a lot of businesses were closing there. We then ventured out to Yangjae Stream (양재천) where they have a cafe street, and got some amazing bread from a bakery, then ventured into a park called Maljuk-geori Park (말죽거리공원), which was absolutely massive, and we felt like you could almost spend a good few hours exploring there. At the end of our exploration, we felt like we must have missed out on a lot of things nearby, but it was worth going, and we’re excited to go back to Yangjae someday!

I have a problem.. I am addicted to this channel.

[@lostthenfound]

Hahaha thanks so much for all of your support and comments @youtubeuser5768! 😊 Made our day with that one! Hope you have an amazing week, and take care eh!

[@BasicStealthcamping]

another good random adventure! it doesnt have to be the most crazy stuff everytime, sometimes simply seeing a place different to what you are used to with its own charm can be enough!

[@lostthenfound]

Thanks so much for watching and the kind words @BasicStealthcamping! Also really appreciate the support! Happy that just seeing these types of neighbourhoods have some interest as well! Hope all is well!

[@Zum-Zee]

The two of you are the main reason I want to move to Korea Also first Your so underrated

Wow @Zum-Zee thanks for the really nice words! Very humbled by your comment, and hope you can come here someday too!

[@misscaroline542]

Thank you for another random adventure! 🇰🇷 Not every area is going to be that exciting when it comes to things to experience and explore, and that’s normal. Especially in newer areas. Please don’t think we will get disappointed. Some people will watch these videos before moving to Seoul and find it really useful. For the rest of us we are just happy to tag along with the two of you. 😊

[@lostthenfound]

@misscaroline542 thank you so much! Agree that it can't always be exciting every time, and that's part of the name of the game. We never know what kind of video it will be when we are filming as it's truly random and all over the place, but glad to be able to show off a nice area at least! Really appreciate all of your kind words and support, and hope all is well!

I like these random destination videos. You see different parts of the city you wouldn’t normally see.

[@lostthenfound]

@paulk4662 thank you so much for watching! Glad that we could show some new areas of Seoul, and we're hoping to do a lot more around the entire country soon as well!

[@knafice]

i thought the place was very interesting. especially that small two-storied apartment complex. i can only imagine how vibrant it must've been 20 years ago. also the markets that were closing down. i wish i could personally go and explore those. pretty cool spots for shooting movies, if you asked me. thank you guys for another one of these. huge fan of the random neighborhood videos. i haven't missed a single one.

[@lostthenfound]

@knafice the old buildings we found in the beginning were quite interesting eh! Was lucky to stumble upon them for sure, as they were a big contrast to the rest of the area. Also thank you so much for watching and for your support! Really appreciate it, and take care!

[@bobby_thompson]

Congrats on reaching 10k! Big milestone. Came across your channel from your 10 years in Korea video and been watching ever since. Wish you guys more success in the future

[@lostthenfound]

@@bobby_thompson thanks so much for all your support and for watching our videos! Really appreciate it!

[@MikeFromKorea]

I enjoy walking the cafe street beside the stream more than the path along the stream itself, especially in the autumn. I don't associate it with Canada, as I've never been there, but I definitely get the "not Korea" vibe you describe. That draws me to it. And as you go from west to east beneath Gangnam-daero, the cafes and restaurants just keep going all the way to the area near Maebong Station.

[@lostthenfound]

@MikeFromKorea the path by the cafe street was really nice and peaceful for sure! Reminds me a lot of some of the pathways along the West coast near Incheon. Will have to check out more towards Maebong Station as well, as it appears there's a mountain to hike up there that looks pretty cool!

[@thatkoalabear]

I love watching your vlogs! ❤ ever since I found out about your channel, I’ve been watching your past videos like my favourite tv series 🤩 please keep doing what you do it’s awesome :)

One of Japanese corwarker lived in 양제지역 when he worked in Korean office. He enjoyed 양제river cycling almost every weekend. This youtube remind me his story. Thanks.

[@lostthenfound]

@see8331 thanks so much for the kind words and support! Really appreciate it! All the best eh!

[@jennybento]

Because of the river, the Yangjae Citizens Forest is one of the best places to see cherry blossoms IMO! And it's not as busy as some of the other locations. It also has some memorials to historical events, like the department store collapse, and an air disaster. The mall type areas around that costco are often eerily deserted so my experiences in Yangjae have been similar to yours: where are the people!??! :D

[@lostthenfound]

@jennybento ah thanks so much for the tip! Will have to check it out during the spring, as we have never been before. Also I completely forgot that the department store collapse was around 양재. I can't imagine how the people felt at the time, as it was so tragic. Agree with you that the area is quite deserted though eh! Anyways thanks a lot for watching and for commenting! Hope all is well!

[@alterego9873]

Keep on going! Your videos are very entertaining! 😃

[@lostthenfound]

Thanks so much for the kind words and for watching @alterego9873! Really appreciate it, and take care eh!

[@blackbelt2000]

That condemned apartment building @2:35 actually seemed pretty spacious inside. Just two small buildings with a courtyard in the middle. Looks intimate. I think it would have been cool to live there if it was still livable.

[@lostthenfound]

@blackbelt2000 it's a pretty nice building eh! They don't make those types of apartments in Korea very often these days. They are all cookie cutter high rise apartments that almost look dystopian haha! Would definitely have been cool to live there!

[@ALEX-cs6vo]

Hey... not every random neighbourhood can be an exciting home run... But if you're looking for mellowness and serenity this fits the bill quite nicely! I'd live there.

[@lostthenfound]

That's true Alex! Definitely a part of the randomness, although I keep waiting for us to get one of the subway lines in Incheon or down in Yongin, but we keep getting a line from #1-9 in Seoul for some reason haha. The neighbourhood is really nice too! It's also so close to the Express Bus Terminal to go across the country easily, so the people that live there are lucky! Hope all is well and thanks again for watching!

[@zokpls8712]

Very cool! My family lives around there

[@lostthenfound]

@zokpls8712 thanks so much for watching and for the kind words! It's a really nice area to live in!

[@marcellostraps]

Gangnam seems to fascinate Koreans. To me, it feels like a slightly cleaner version of every other area of Seoul, with possibly fewer annoyances and bad smells. My office is at Samsung station, and when I drive home at night, I open my car windows and catch the aroma of good food while I drive down Gangnam dae-ro. By contrast, my town in the evenings largely smells like fried chicken and pizza.

[@lostthenfound]

This is a very good observation @marcellostraps! Also agree with you about Gangnam. Definitely a lot of great restaurants around the area, and you can also end up paying a lot more for a 삼겹살 or 감자탕 meal that you could find elsewhere for cheaper.

Do you guys ever do personal / guided tours? I’ve noticed there are a ton of them on Trip Advisor & Trazy. And this channel has been super helpful in helping me plan my first time trip. I would’ve sent a DM but I have no clue how to do that on KZbin haha

[@lostthenfound]

@Runjinrun2 we don't have any plans to run tours at the moment, but really appreciate the curiousity! We might give it a try someday in the future too!

[@grbx4325]

Have you considered selling private tours around Seoul? I think that people watching your channel who are going to Seoul and who do not have much time to prepare for the visit will be happy to pay you to show them interesting and non-obvious places. Such an original trip, selection of places according to LTF. I think it would be an interesting addition to your channel.

[@lostthenfound]

@grbx4325 thanks a lot for the idea! A few people have asked this, but for now we are putting all of our time into the videos so we don't have time to do tours yet. It's something we will consider for the future though!

[@TradeGenius]

You should consider a walk about where the KDramas are filmed. I think many people would watch that.

[@lostthenfound]

@@TradeGenius thanks a lot for the idea! We don't watch many K Dramas to be honest so I'm not sure we could do it justice, but definitely something to consider for the future!

[@kayledawson4283]

Can you do a video on the new parks that have opened on in parts of the old Yongsan base? I used to work at the hospital on base and walked through those fields to work every day.

[@lostthenfound]

@kayledawson4283 this is something that we are both interested in, and you should check out @MikeFromKorea who made a video here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mYrHd36Lqq16mpo. They don't let people film inside unfortunately, but he talks a lot about what he saw inside and reflects on his time when he used to live there back when he was in the American Military. I think it will be interesting for you!
