Zane your Korean videos are brilliant. During the past four years I have watched many videos of Seoul, filmed by various people but yours surpass them all. My late husband and I always wanted to visit Korea sadly it wasnt to be, thank you so much for your calm, respectful way you have filmed... you have taken in the places we so wanted to go. Thank you so much. Best wishes for your future .

Everyone needs to have this mind-blowing experience called Korean bbq!! I get it every week now

Zane is a polite person and his way of showing the downtown area mainly during the day is unique and fun. There are plenty of colorful nightlife videos on KZfaq. I like his quiet and calm explanations. If you go to Hongdae, I'm looking forward to it.

The desert drink is called SooJungGwa, cinnamon and persimmon drink.

I love your vlogging style. You just hike around and show us everything you met

You need to shake the makgeolli bottle before drinking. It's got stuff in it that needs to be mixed in well!

즐거운 한국여행 되세요, 한국은 낮보다 밤이 더 아름다워요

Da Vinci Motel is a performance program planned by a Korean credit card company. It is not a real motel. If you get help from locals, you can truly enjoy Korean food and culture.

한국에선 고기를 먹고난 후에 후식으로 매실차를 주는 곳이 많습니다. 매실차는 소화를 돕고 살균작용도 해주거든요. ^^ 그리고 고기를 먹을때마다 파채무침도 늘 함께 나옵니다.

누가 좀 제대로 된 음식 식당과 먹는 법을 가르쳐주면 좋겠어요

That murky drink is called makgeolli. It is fermented rice wine. If you drink one bottle a day regularly, you will have baby soft skin without wrinkles and flat abdomen even at your old age. Ha ha

I wish someone showed him how to eat a Korean BBQ . He would have enjoyed it way more than he did here.

과장되지 않은 촬영이 넘 좋으네요❤

Itaewon and Korea in general, is a nightlife area...most things happen at night

Pretty cool antique shops.

Itaewon means something like “foreign village “. It’s the part of the city where foreigners would gather. Like the Russians, U.S. military….

You should go to Hongdae where there are a lot of young people especially on Friday night. 😅

한국에 오신것을 환영합니다!! 좋은추억 가득 안고 가시길 바래요^^❤😊

The street where you ate the barbecue literally is the center of the nightlife district of Itaewon. Those were all bars and clubs you walked past... I personally really enjoyed Waikiki Pub!

He knows Seoul is a nightlife city. But for some reason he is avoiding night time. In his other videos in other countries he always visited popular areas at peak night time. But not in Korea for some odd reason. And he's clearly doing it on purpose with knowledge. Maybe it's a good thing or bad thing. But these daytime videos are great and get to see Seoul during daytimes.

You need a Korean friend to take you to a delicious restaurant and teach you how to enjoy the food more. LOL Anyway I love your vlogging

The outdoor plastic chairs and tables and cooking stalls in Korea originated from ancient Korean culture called pojang macha aka pocha. Plastic chairs in southeast Asia originated from Korean pojang macha. Korean business men in southeast Asia introduced plastic chairs and all those chairs and tables are manufactured by Korean companies originally in Southeast Asia.

즐거운 여행하세요

Recommendation : Gwanghwamoon tour will be good experience for you.

Love the vibe. I love the calmness you shows.

you have to know how to eat grill meat with scallion seasoned you tried. and wrap meat in the lettuce and put scallion, sauce on top which you missed. I will be your guide to your trip to Korea next time ^^

한국인 친구가 있었으면 좋았을 걸… 저 분 누가 야채쌈 싸먹는 거 좀 가르쳐주면 좋으련만. 쌈+소주 조합을 모르네 ㅠㅠ

Strongly recommend to go yeon-hee-dong. This town is made from gentrification. From hong dae to yeon nam and yeon nam to yeon hee now. I can say there are lots of artisan based stores,restaurants in town. You can easily find interesting stuffs there

PLUM JUICE is often served after meal in restaurants for your digestion.

Chil-seoung cider - is SPRITE… we don’t have hard cider in Korea. Chil Seoung - means 7 stars… I am glad you enjoyed Seoul, Busan etc etc in Korea. Itaewon is also very close to the US 8th regiment (Army base)

As a foreigner who lived in Korea, I personally hated Itaewon. It's got some cool restaurants and shops but I never felt as safe there BECAUSE of the large amount of foreigners. Plus, for me personally, I was in Korea because I wanted to immerse myself in the country and culture. I would have stayed in my own country if I was just trying to stick around foreigners and foreigner heavy districts. I still recommend people visit Itaewon when visiting because there are some cool things, but if you're going to Korea to enjoy Korea...Itaewon isn't that vibe.

You are doing better than me, exploring new city. You find right places to eat and all. The dessert drink was cinamon ginger tea. Its very popular refreshmt.

Welcome to my neighborhood ❤

You should go Jamsil and Lotte world and also Teheran road

데 리흐트 형님 오늘도 영상 잘보고가요

고기 먹는거 제대로 알려주고 싶다

As a Korean American who grew up in both countries, I find your videos of Korea so fascinating. I go back and forth regularly and take a lot for granted. It’s interesting to see Korea from your perspective. Also appreciate how respectful and unobtrusive you are even when you’re not super knowledgeable about the culture, your instincts and actions are respectful.

go to Itawon at night time if you have a chance. It's really different with day time. :)

Love the commentary Zane! You could start a podcast one day!

Itaewon looks like a really cool place to check out. I've only been to Incheon twice and once to Seoul. Would love to check out more of the city! Love it when I hear K-pop music in the background too!!!! 💜💜💜

The barbecue meal (& grill) looks amazing 😮❤🎉

Korean BBQ looks delicious😊😊 love your videos❤❤

Across the street of the Maserati store in Itaewon is where Samsung current CEO and his family live. Other K conglomorate owner families live there a lot. Wealthy town.

Wow that looks great

Also you missed Hyebangcheon next to itaewon. Which is even a little more trendy for restos and pubs. Foreginers choose to live their over itaewon.

All the side dishes in any Korean restaurant .. is to have with stew, rice, bbq … collectively called Ban Chan…. Not to finish all at first - ie not a starter!

Hannam, where you found maserati store is one of the most affluent residence here in Korea. Much more than Gangnam (many celebs live there) Love ur videos btw 😍

For ur context - there was a pretty serious crowd crush here

Passion 5 ya'all! He didn't go in. He should have. It's one of the best bake shops in all of S Korea. Definitely go here! It's a must.

You should see korean mother-of-pearl furniture, jagyenong (자개농).

Highly recommend; DMZ tour

The bowl with green onion is called "pa muchim" and is not a side dish. it's to eat with the lettuce wrap and your meat. Thanks for the video.

near iteawon . there are warmemoria. and national museum.!!

Zane, you've earned a new subscriber! I love your way of traveling, and that you upload your videos without much editing - you keep it real. Do you have any plans to visit the more traditional areas of Seoul (i.e., the palaces, hanok village, insadong etc), as well as venturing out of Seoul? Korea's got a ton of really nice places to offer, and the bullet trains are rather inexpensive. I'd recommend Paju Book City and Suwon Fortress which are still part of the greater Seoul metro area but offer a more quiet, serene experience... There are also mountain trails all over the country.

플럼? 애플? 이라... 아마도 후식 음료는 "매실차" 인것 같아요!!

You need to go to an EDM club in Itaewon. It usually opens at midnight till sunrise. That’s when Itaewon comes to life.

식후에 마셨던 음료는 수정과 입니나~~^^한국 전통 음료예요

I wish someone could tell him how to eat Korean barbecue. Or he could have known if he looked around at how people around him ate.

Lovely!

Zane, actually Hannam (where the Maserati dealer is) which is next to Itae-won is where the old money live. That's where all the power and influence of Korea sleeps at night. Gangnam is where people on their payroll or their doctors live.

By the way, I was an expat there and I did not live in itaewon. I don’t know anyone who did. Just thinking about it, I think it would be a very loud place to live and a lot of drunk people around, but I can’t say from experience.

On the halloween day of 2022, there was a stampede accident at the narrow road between the buildings seen 0:30 and over 150 people were dead. It was a national tragedy and many koreans still have trauma about that accident. Please pray for the victims.

The best in Korea to go to is none other than Lotte World and Adventure in Jamsil. Guarantee!!

I am sad that there are some parts you are missing from your trip to Korea 😅 (for example, Myeongdong is mainly focused for Japanese tourists, and you should eat bindaetteok at Gwangjang Market with onion sauce, and I recommend Kyochon or bbq for Korean chicken. Also, I recommend Seongsu-dong That's where Koreans go these days also You should eat 'Hanwoo beef') But I hope you enjoyed Korea well. I hope you have a good trip wherever you go from now go!😊

❤❤❤

Hello, I hope you have good memories in Korea.

Iteawon halloween

15:00 Looks like sujeonggwa, which is a very traditional ginger + cinnamon + sugar drink that I'm personally not a fan of lol. Due to the ginger and cinnamon, it has a cloying, medicinal taste, which makes sense for privileged people in the Joseon Dynasty to drink as a status symbol. In modern Korean cuisine though, I think ginger and cinnamon are not harmonious in terms of taste.

itaewon is expensive and much rougher… lol. Sometimes for foreigners it is a necessary evil to have to go there from around the surrounding Seoul area because its the only place close by to get things they need such as clothing sizes, hair products, specific ingredients or types of food that aren’t normally sold in Korea. However, you will pay for the convenience.

@9:40 the amount of times I went to 김실력 (the sign that looks handwritten) and walked 50ft down to that brown building to go to Prost was unhealthy 😂.

One of many things you realize experiencing different cultures out of your own, especially if from America is that the food we have been eating here without a shadow of doubt is rather garbage compared to Korean food. I have come to realize hard how limited variety of food we have been consuming. I've been eating meat, flour based bakes, potatoes and eggs.. People are really missing out on Korean food. Korean people are very very serious when it comes to food. They have by far the most knowledge on food than anyone else. From land meat to seafood to root vegetables to fermenting with spices, Korean food is one of the best food in the world. Lastly, I want you to know not to be deceived by the look and smell. You are what you eat, and Koreans have their food on top over most.

I would not choose Itaewon to live. I definitely would choose a place where it is more rural, to experience Korea, and people in a more traditional way. Thanks for your videos I really appreciate your candor and courage!👍🏽👋

Every place you visited had an amazing nightlife, but it's a shame you went when there were hardly any people around. If you go during peak time, you are sure you'll discover something even more spectacular. Korea is really safe, so I recommend going after 9pm.

Why didn’t you tip the makgeolli? You need to stir in the stuff from the bottom!

Seoul is freezing in Winter from Nov - Feb

👍

이태원 사고가 있었던, 안타까운 장소네요. 골목을 보자마자 순간 숙연해졌습니다. 10:53 어나더 월드를 틀어주는 식당이라니 ! 저 식당은 좋은 식당입니다😊 Maple Tree에서 후식으로 나온 음료는, 색깔로 보건데 '수정과 / 水正果 / Sujeonggwa' 일 것 입니다

That is the place where more than 100 holloween party goers died by crowd crush last year. After that, people dont go there anymore so many shops went our of business. Check out crowd crush in Itaewon.

You can pronunciate lotte as loh-teh.

I am from Seoul and watch this video and see this guy is heading right towns but passing right spots of the towns and picking wrong foods in each town. Better research more.

They generally don’t grill it for you. You are supposed to do it yourself.

Enjoy Korea a little deeper and you're hovering around too much outside. Come on!

The youtube tracks only few asians music for copyright. Congrats for the vídeos bwt. Im new here but I have seem a lot of yours vídeos. Tks.

Cool, we were sitting about same place back in 2016. Next to that happened that awful thingy where ppl died.

subbed. interesting take on your travels. its pronounced LOW-TAY fyi.

👍👍❤❤👍👍

I notice Filipina talking 8:53

Zane you just missed a good spot. Passion 5 is full of pastries and desserts. It's to die for

I’m just curious, did you purposely leave the Hamilton Hotel area out on purpose or were you unaware of what happened there? I saw it in the distance and then the next shot was passed it. No disrespect intended.

이태원에서 bbq를....^^;;;

Lol bro I can’t believe it’s your bc it’s time trying kbbq. Unless your referring to authentic kbbq

expat from socal, south korea is getting cold already...

롯데 칠성 사이다 에요

You look like MacCallister for Liverpool

Itaewon is a must go but at night time for its amazing nightlife. It is dead during the day.

Hey, which gopro is that ?

You need to wrap your food in the lettuce and then eat!

Oh no there's ROC flag in your video, you can't go to PROC anymore. 😂

As someone who started to watch these videos I noticed that there are a lot of "issues" about this video there's no eating content I noticed a lot of people watched the part of you eating k-BBQ, but the meat was shown 5 seconds not even the raw meat....in 22min of this video and the title is called "American Tries KOREAN BBQ For the FIRST TIME" I can imagine a lot of people feeling....disappointed about this part

korean meat is top expensive in the world!!! as fruit. bread too.
