    So there's no way I pronounced "Jeong" correctly but it was worth a shot :D If you enjoyed the video let me know! Also check out my website for a full list of recommendations on what you SHOULD do! www.golocaltips.com/seoul and yes, some of the train footage I used is from my trip to Japan not Korea (I ran out of train footage unfortunately) but I hope you can forgive me!

    "Don't get into a fight" kids in school : y'all hear something?
  • @Spacy_skittle
    "Don't talk on trains" This- as an introvert, I approve of this.
  • How many armys are here expecting to go to South Korea but your still studying
  • @kyuleeya
    I’m a Korean who live in Seoul more than 19 years. Well I talk a lot on the train....if u are not too noisy, then it’s fine.
  • @Bangtankookies
    12- Don’t go to Korea just to see BTS Go hide in the corner and feel embarrassed
  • @kenvie.12
    "Dont talk on trains" Me: I'm quiet as fu-
  • @heather4392
    I love how a lot of people assume k-pop fans wanna go to Korea in hopes of magically finding a korean guy that looks like Jimin. I just wanna go for the food.... EDIT: In other words we should all just go to Korea and say fuck other people’s opinions 🗿
  • @btsjk8769
    When you will never go to Korean but still watch these stuff....
  • @r.c8756
    I’ve been to both Korea and Japan and I thought Korean people were more openminded and forgiving. I’ve probably made a mistake or two there, one of them being too casual about receiving a business card (by the way this should probably be on this list : if you’re given a business card in Korea, you should treat it as something precious, take time to look at it when you’re being given it, etc.) but all in all I felt like Korean were more curious and welcoming towards strangers, I really keep a great memory of this trip
  • @captpoop22
    Just saying, when i went there and Tipped my waiter.... he hugged me LOL ( he was a young dude )
  • @sakuramune_
    Rule 12 : don't go yelling " BTS where are you" or chasing people just because they look like kpop idols
  • Other people-Wanting to go to Korea because of K-pop Idols and K-dramas Me-Wanting to go to Korea because of their street food and chopsticks.....
