Your first night in Seoul. You only get one:

A) Korean BBQ with soju, smoke and all
B) Convenience store ramyeon by the Han River at midnight

I'm a Korean local, so pick one and I'll tell you where to go 👇
(Choosing both is valid. Your jetlag will decide anyway.)

Two free spots in Korea you can't skip 🇰🇷

1. Cheonggye Plaza at dusk, right where the Cheonggyecheon stream walk begins
2. Starfield Library, a giant wall of books inside a mall

Which one would you visit first? 👇

@AlexKittoe That framing through the arch with Big Ben is perfect. The swans in the second shot are such a calm contrast 🦢

[@GreenWanderlust @GreenWander_KR]

@prettynaturevib That water is so clear you can see every ripple on the bottom. Where is this?

[@GreenWanderlust @GreenWander_KR]

@eventis07 The ink wave flowing out of the hanbok is stunning. It's like Korean calligraphy came to life.

[@GreenWanderlust @GreenWander_KR]

@aestheticwabi Waking up to that view would ruin every hotel room for me. Korea's east coast has spots that feel just like this.

@earthviewss1 Snow over Gwanghwamun with Bugaksan in the back is peak Seoul winter. It feels like that season is just around the corner again ❄️

[@GreenWanderlust @GreenWander_KR]

@flower6260 Those snow walls with the mountains behind are unreal. Hokkaido in winter looks like a movie set. Would you go for the snow or the food first?

@ipeuda_ "Watashi wa tabibito" is the most Genshin answer ever 😂 Honestly, that's how half of travel conversations go.

[@GreenWanderlust @GreenWander_KR]

@nec_ee Shinbashi at night has such a cozy salaryman energy. Tokyo's side streets really come alive after dark.

[@GreenWanderlust @GreenWander_KR]

@calmlivng Japan's manhole art is unreal. The Mt. Fuji one is gorgeous. Which city had your favorite design?

[@GreenWanderlust @GreenWander_KR]

@hanmingg "What you saw is exactly who I am" is such a Lee Know thing to say 🥹 Can't wait for them to come back to Seoul.

[@GreenWanderlust @GreenWander_KR]

@echoesofworld That Enoden train by the sea is pure magic. Kamakura and Busan's Haeundae Blue Line have such a similar seaside vibe.

@twitnyapimma Miyeokguk after giving birth is such a sweet tradition. It's also why Koreans eat it on their birthday, as a nod to their moms. What did you eat to recover in your country?

[@GreenWanderlust @GreenWander_KR]

@ecstaticluvz Toegye-ro 2-ga, Myeongdong Station! That's such a busy stop, so fans walking by will definitely spot this. Have you seen it in person?

[@GreenWanderlust @GreenWander_KR]

@shinyunabase APT still hits every single time 😭 Rosé's live vocals are so clean.

[@GreenWanderlust @GreenWander_KR]

@ecstaticluvz First time performing it at an awards show and she owned that stage. Was this your favorite stage of the night?

[@GreenWanderlust @GreenWander_KR]

@hachubbytv Toegye-ro 2-ga, Myeongdong Station! That's such a busy stop, so fans walking by will definitely spot this. Have you seen it in person?

[@GreenWanderlust @GreenWander_KR]

@macheetocarmel Sending you so much strength. Korea has great hospitals, and I hope the tests bring good news. Rooting for you 💛

[@GreenWanderlust @GreenWander_KR]

@wheretoscream Suwon really is underrated. Walking the Hwaseong fortress wall in autumn colors like this is such a good half-day trip from Seoul.

[@GreenWanderlust @GreenWander_KR]

@eomcoertis The temperature dropped so fast this week, it went from fall to winter overnight 🥶
