찾아봤는데 문순열 사진작가님이 중앙대학교 영어영문학과를 졸업하셨다고 나오네요! I looked it up, says the photographer grandpa graduated with an English major/degree!

I was lost with my GF in Young-deung-po and stumbled into this slummy area at the back of the subway station. It was a bit spooky but no problem walking around in the late night. Not a slum compared to some of the other slums around the world. It was the most peaceful "slum" if it's called a slum.

There's no real dangerous areas in Korea, but it is considered a slum compared to other parts of the city. Have you seen my other Korean videos?

I looked him (the photographer) up on the internet and he does have several books and exhibitions under his name. His english skills and experiences of visiting europe tell me that he was an elite back in the days. I wonder how he ended up there though. Life is so unexpected and harsh for some people, I would love to hear what happened the last 30 years in his life.

It's great to watch you embrace your Korean skills, despite not being fluent yet. Witnessing this stage of your language learning journey, where you're beginning to use Korean at a basic level, is truly inspiring. A major hurdle in language learning, which often leads to failure, is the misconception that one should wait until they're fluent before using the language in conversation. This is a significant misunderstanding. In fact, actively using the language from the very start is a crucial aspect of learning a new language. Keep it up!

I really like this video and the channel for numerous reasons. This is my first time watching his videos and I'm going through his channels thinking "why and how have I not seen this channel?". Here are my reasons why I really enjoyed this video and why I will continue supporting his videos: 1. He is extremely respectful and polite. Not only is he equipped with the language, but I think he understands the culture and language enough to give respect to the local Koreans by speaking trying to speak Korean as well as knowing polite phrases. His politeness is also very noticeable throughout the video which not only helps with the process of his interviews, but also gives respect towards local Koreans. 2. The format and style of the video. The videos seems to be in a "travel blog" form, which the KZreadr Bald and Bankrupt made it famous, showing authenticity, and the feeling of actually being in the video. 3. His interviews are very well conducted. Throughout the video, I noticed his interviewing skills are well founded and is able to obtain depths and details, while also considering ethical practices. Overall, his videos show great quality!!!

Even in Gangnam gu where a lot of rich people live, there are slums. I think Daerim dong is more dangerous area than here. I think Koreans all know why.

Actually, really enjoyed your time with these Koreans and listen to you speak with them, I'm a learner about 1 year by myself, one day I will take a class but wanna be more proficient in the language before doing so. Right now I listen and read some every day just about.

4:00 poor lad, you were putting him on the spot! Another fantastic episode! It makes me sad that the photographer who has had a successful career is living in such condition though. :-/ Glad you had a chance to interact with him. I'm sure he'll cherish the memories for years.

The guy at 4:00 seemed okay with it, but i could sense he couldn't honestly answer the question about the protest, so i let it go. The photographer was a great person indeed, wish i knew how he ended up there.

I love the respect that you have for people. Loved seeing the locals here.

Hi Dan, thank you for your efforts. You are my newest favorite KZreadr! I discovered your page as I was researching visiting Seoul, and sometimes the KZread algorithim just knows what you need...In my case it was your videos. As a Korean I love watching your interactions with the Korean people, and I am ashamed to admit, but your Korean is better than mine. I just finished the Japan playlist and I am so amazed at how nice and warm the Japanese are, each video was so enjoyable to watch. Selfishly I want more Korean content, but I think you should defintely do the North to South Japan trip, that would be amazing. Sorry for long message, just wanted to express my appreciation for you and your content!! Be safe always.

It is not a dangerous crime area, but an old area. In fact, there is no such thing as a crime-ridden area in Korea.

Excuse me, that's just an area where relatively poor people live in Seoul. It's not an area like slums in other countries where murders occur on a daily basis or anything like that.

Thank you very very much for watching chingu!!

“Most feared slum” is an interesting choice of words without providing the context. There is no neighborhood in Korea like Harlem in New York where you could be assaulted or robbed simply by walking in. There are gangsters in Korea, but they are not like the gangs in L.A. They don’t threaten ordinary people in street much like Yakuza in Japan.

I lived in Korea as a kid. I'm half Korean. I remember being like 9 years old and going all over the city by myself. My parents let me run wild. They gave me money. There were toy stores and arcade gamerooms everywhere. I'd ride the public bus alone.. Nobody messed with me. Everyone was nice. One restaurant even let me eat for free. Korea is by far the safest place I have ever been to.

Trust me, that area is WAY safer than entire Memphis, Tennessee
