Inside Korea’s Failed New Capital 🇰🇷

🟢BIG NEWS🟢 I launched my travel content creator course: tinyurl.com/kenabroadcourse (use code LAUNCH for a HUGE discount - only in the first 5 day

Not really "failed". The plan was to have 300k by 2020, it had 350k, above target. The initial population growth was behind schedule but is now ahead.

Try avoiding clickbait. As Korean people here say…it’s not failed but in progress

외국인 유튜버 영상으로 세종시를 첨 보다니.. 세상 좋아졌네요. 감사합니다.

When you first tapped the card on the bus it said "tap only one card at a time" - so the payment did not go through - but when you got off it worked so I guess they charged you for the standard fare The hairdresser's salon name was "David Hair" - perhaps the english name of the guy who cut your hair is David haha - the English sign next to it was the name of the laundromat - but it's a clever idea to search for that instead and find the salon next door The first ice cream the guy recommended to you would have been a more "traditional korean" flavour - it's red bean flavoured The milky drink is called Ambasa - carbonated milk soda - Ambasa is owned by Coca-cola company and there is a more popular brand called Milkis which tastes very similar You can pay cash on buses in Korea even though most people nowadays use a card - the driver has a box next to his seat to keep the cash and coins for change Thanks for this vlog - not many would film Sejong city - with so much detail - as a non-Korean who has lived here for 11 years I enjoyed watching you try Lotteria and getting a haircut - very brave of you when you don't speak the local language!

Sejong is my favorite city in Korea! So glad you went there. The people are lovely there and there’s loads of pretty cafes and yummy restaurants! ☺️

I've been living in Sejong City for 9 years ^^ I can't see any shops because the place you looked around is a government office neighborhood. Other than that, if you walk around the neighborhood, you will see many shops. Each neighborhood has its own characteristics. Saerom-dong is a private academy and Naseong-dong is an entertainment district and Sejong-si is very satisfied. It's clean and beautiful. People walk around in apartments. The walking paths of the apartments are very well-established

It’s amazing that the South Koreans can build a city like this from scratch in 12 years. Only a small handful of nations could do that. There are some nations that would still be complaining about the blueprints.

I love Sejong city. as an introvert person, I love how peaceful, clean and modern is. after good day's work, going for a jog in the lake park is one of my favorite routines.

wow! I actually love how empty the city looks. I'm not a huge fan of traffic or crowds 😅

I feel like this city is too perfect to live in

버스카드 인식실패입니다 그런데 기사님이 그냥 태우셨네요^^

세종시에 9년째 살고 있어요. 저는 세종시에 만족하고 있습니다. 영상에서 처럼 깨끗하고 녹지가 많아 저녁이 되면 산책 하는 분들로 꽤 붐비기도 하지요. 살기는 좋은곳 인것 같아요..하지만. 노잼인건 팩트.

Oh, I've never expected that you would come sejong city! I've lived sejong for 5 years. Before living here, I lived in seoul most of my life.. My parents moved here so I moved too. Compared with Seoul, Sejong is really quite and peaceful city. I love National library and running tracks the most, but I feel bored very oftenly :( So I have a plan moving to seoul someday. The people who like peace and not-crowded place would love this city.

세종시 투어는 영상은 처음 보네요 ㅎㅎ

Sejong looks clean and modern, great video.

My husband cousin live in Sejong he really like this city very peaceful.😊

이분은 객관적이시고 현실적인 평을 하시네요. 고마운분!

3:31 this comment is "please tap just one card" and that red light means that the bus fare is not paid 😂

I visited Sejong City last month. Most cities in Korea have scooters or bicycles, but in Sejong, the bicycles or scooters are very cheap compared to other cities, costing only $1 for 24 hours. You just need to verify Korea's national phone number to receive a certification number. If You had used the scooters as you mentioned, You could have explored Sejong City in one day.
