Hi Sean. Thanks so much for this video. Very informative, and will also be helpful for me and my wife, as we're going to be visiting Seoul in May with some friends. We're tango dancers and need things to do during the day and this list of places you've shown will definitely be on our list. Who knows, we might bump into you on your next video :)

[@worldwideseanp]

good to hear that this is helpful. Seoul in May would be the perfect month of the year to visit as the weather's nice and there would be many outdoor activities to do as well.

Thank you so much for making such amazing content!! I'm studying Korean and I'm so happy that I'm finally visiting Korea in November all I could find was the same recommendations all over, which is also lovely, but I truly wanted something local and authentic. Your content makes me feel closer to the country I love and admire, thank you

[@worldwideseanp]

I'm so glad! Good luck on your studying~

[@tiffanyluu7842]

I’ve been researching for an upcoming trip to Seoul and this has been the most helpful video so far. Your videos seem trustworthy. I hope you do a restaurants version of this video, as most of the videos on TikTok, etc. are made by tourists not locals. I’m especially interested in knowing where locals go for ganjang gejang amd gamjatang

[@worldwideseanp]

Yes, I plan to make a video on local restaurants and also publish an ebook. Stay tuned!

[@davidmoreno2812]

Thank you so much I just moved here last month so excited

[@worldwideseanp]

Good luck!!

great! was looking for jjimjilbang in Seoul but I afraid too shady or dirty but the ones you show is perfect for our last day in Seoul...to rest and wind down...thank you!

[@worldwideseanp]

Jjimjilbang is definitely must-try spot during your visit in Seoul. I hope you would enjoy your trip.

[@angelb1074]

Thank you very much. I’m coming to Seoul for 2,5 months in Spring. I’ll visit all these places you’ve mentioned in your video. I just loved it. Would you kindly consider making a video on where to stay (for mid-age people)? 😅 Thank you

[@worldwideseanp]

yes, there are a variety of accommodation choices in Seoul. I'll make a video on such interesting options and also make an e-book. Stay tuned :)

[@roborovski008]

hope you made a list of street food places to visit. thanks!

[@dobrinagavazova1786]

These are great suggestions , but not for a first time visitor especially if time is limited

[@worldwideseanp]

Thanks for your comment. These places are in the city of Seoul and you can mix them into your schedule even if it's your first visit. I hope you would have more variety of local experiences from this tip.

[@url.Natalia]

Seus vídeos são muito interessantes. São dicas mais abrangentes sobre uma determinada escolha que o turista tenha. Como por exemplo o vídeo sobre os tradicionais mercados sul coreanos. Você indicou um portal para pesquisar, chamado Naver. Eu fui à procura dele mas não consegui encontrar o caminho para legendas em inglês. Seria muito eu lhe pedir um vídeo sobre links para o provável turista, como eu, acessar? Mas com orientação de troca da legenda, por favor. Fica a sugestão. Muito obrigada. Estou no outro lado do mundo, em São Paulo, BR

[@worldwideseanp]

Thanks for visiting. When you type in Naver Map on google or apple appstore, it will appear (maybe in Korean), but you can spot it right away as there's Naver Corp. notation. Once you download the app, you can change the language setting to English. Hope this helps.

[@sabbyn.1815]

I missed this video when i was in Seoul recently. Makes it another reason to head there. Btw, why was the cafes so empty? Usually its filled to the brim 🤔

[@worldwideseanp]

Thanks for visiting my channel. As for your question, it's because I visited those cafes at an opening time on rainy weekdays. Yes, those cafes are usually packed up on weekends.

[@ago255]

The Aquafield hanam is temporarily closed according to google. When is it going to be open again?

[@worldwideseanp]

Which is why I recommend using Naver map over Google map. I've checked again, the place is open. It was closed only for today, Apr.19th. I'll also upload another video and online tutorial guides soon to address this type of issue, so stay tuned.

[@ago255]

@@worldwideseanp thank you. Keep up the contents👍

[@jada1230]

what’s the exact name of the spa? cant find in navermap🙏

[@worldwideseanp]

It's Aquafield (Hanam)

[@AixianL]

What is name of last cafe that you visit? European theme large cafe

[@worldwideseanp]

Pls refer to my pinned comment below, on the top. There's google link.

[@AixianL]

@@worldwideseanp thank you!

[@ago255]

Which area in Seoul do you recommend for stay?

[@worldwideseanp]

Thanks for visiting. It depends on what you would like to expereience. If you are looking for traditional landmarks, central Seoul (i.e. Jongno or Gwangwhamoon) is the place. For more young vibe, Hongdae or Seongsoo are recommended.

[@ago255]

@@worldwideseanp mainly proximity to good food selection, shopping, easy access to other parts of the city as well as from/to the airport. I've stayed in Hongdae/Myeongdong before. Among Insadong, Hongdae or Seongsu, which is best?

[@worldwideseanp]

then, for a bit different experience, try Seongsu area for this time. You'll like it.

[@pnkkkhagg1057]

Please show the good spot for Instagram

[@worldwideseanp]

These spots I've recommended are very good spots for Instagram. Check them out upon your visit to Seoul.
