K-pop Korner - BTS & Seoul!

 Cool video featuring BTS introduces Seoul

Seoul is a world class city as well as being the capital of one of the wealthiest countries in the world. Although K-pop doesn't really give a full picture of what life in South Korea is like, it does show you some of the cool places in the city and in the surrounding countryside. Korean dramas and music show an idealized view of Korea. This isn't a bad thing, but it is important to remember that the reality on the ground in Seoul isn't necessarily what you see in videos. That being said, a new video advertising tourism in Seoul highlights some of the interesting and beautiful locations in the city. According to Korean news media, this new video has received 400 million hits and has been shown on CNN and other major news channels. If you like BTS and you are interested n Korea, check it out below. I have also put up two idealized pictures of the city and a few of my own pictures of Seoul streetlife so you can see what it really looks like!
