The truth is that I have always wanted to visit Korea, and it is one of the countries on my bucket list. You see, watching Kdrama alone is not the reason I want to visit Korea; I have listened to their music, and one of the favorite things I love to do now, which helps me understand Korea and its culture more, is reading Manhwa.
I am sure people who know about manhwa can tell how in those books, a lot of Korean cities are mentioned, and sometimes I feel like if I get to Korea, I would be able to find my way around.
One of the cities I would love to visit when I visit Korea is one that's popular both in Kdrama and Manhwa, and that's Seoul
There are so many places to visit in Seoul, like The Gangnam K-Pop Bears on K Star Road
If you are familiar with the song that almost united the world, titled Gangnam Style, then you will know the importance of this location. I would love to visit this park and do some Gangnam Style dance there.
Another place I would love to visit in Seoul is Robot Restaurant Servers in Myeongdong. I saw a review of this place online by a girl from my country who visited Korea.
The review was so nice, and one of the interesting things she said was that most of these robots have real people behind them, so it is very easy to start a conversation with this robot. They are not just AI-powered, but have a human who converses with customers, creating jobs for people who can't leave their homes.
I would like to visit Jeju Island for its natural beauty and sightseeing. If you have read the manhwa (Solo Leveling), you would see how they made many references to the Jeju Island, and if you have seen the Kdrama Seven or so, you would see how people love to go to Jeju Island for vacation. Meaning, it's an important place to visit when you visit Korea. I can actually see myself on the Island with a lot of people speaking Korean and trying to teach me one or two of their culture. It would be very interesting.
Finally place I would love to visit is the ***Gwangjang Market in Seoul for the traditional street food, and their drinks too. I heard that Myeong-dong has a variety of street food, and trust me, I will be trying them all. I I visit a country and do not try their traditional food, that's very wrong. One of the main reasons I want to visit Korea is to try their food that is made in their Country, not the ones I have been eating here in my country. I believe the taste will be different, and it will be more delicious.
I will write everything I experience while in Korea because if read it again, I would be able to get that same feeling I got the first time.
Would you love to visit Korea, if Yes. Then let's plan it together.
Thanks for reading. My name is Fashtioluwa.
