It's hard to picture an elevated expressway there instead of the stream... one of the best things done in Seoul in the past 20 years. So much culture and life has grown from it, which you've done a great job capturing!

17:22 This statue is of Admiral Yi Sun sin, a Korean hero, and the model below it is the Turtle Ship, the ultimate battleship of that era. To explain Yi Sun sin, you need to know the seven-year war with Japan.Historically, Korea people fought many great wars in which hundreds of thousands or millions of troops invaded, but the targets were northern people groups such as the Sui, Tang, Khitan, Qing, and Mongols, and were generally friendly to the Chinese dynasties of Song and Ming etc... Japan's a bit more complicated, although there have been hundreds of small raids along the eastern seaboard by Japanese pirates called Waku. Afterwards, there was a great invasion by Yamato's toyotomi unified shogunate with hundreds of thousands of regular troops, and the background to the Seven Years' War, which was called the Yamato rebellion, was that the carelessness and arrogance of Joseon (Korea), which enjoyed only peace and culture for 200 years, treated Yamato (Japan) as a barbaric pirate group rather than a country. However, Yamato had a high level of tactics through clan battles for 100 years, and the 170,000 troops of Toyotomi, who unified the whole country, armed with Portuguese matchlocks and attacked Joseon. Historically, Japan has waged a surprise war without a declaration of war.The 16,000 Elite heavy cavalry that Joseon was proud of, which had suppressed the cruel northern peoples, was defeated by the Yamato Matchlock unit, and 70, 000 Joseon Army was pushed back all the way to Pyongyang. Yamato, which was a medieval feudal lord era, gained land and people if it won a war, but in Joseon, which was a centralized country, the king fled to the north, but the people and monks formed a militia and fought to the end , the Japanese army was embarrassed by the existence of the Militia.Admiral Yi Sun-sin of Joseon defeated the Japanese navy by winning all 33 naval battles despite overwhelming odds. The basic weapons of the Joseon army were bows, spears, and swords, as well as gunpowder bombs and various cannons of different sizes..The Ming Dynasty (China) sent reinforcements to help Joseon, but instead harassed Joseon by plundering and engaging in internal communication with Japan, but helped Yi Sun sin in the final naval battle.Yamato, who did not have the technology to make pottery, Taken in hundreds of Joseon pottery craftsmen to make pottery and exported the pottery to Europe, where it received favorable reviews. Joseon was unable to recover from the aftereffects of this war for 400 years and suffered the humiliation of being annexed by Japan, which it regarded as an uncivilized island, and being ruled for 35 years. This Great War was a symbolic event in which the international status of the Korean Peninsula with 4,800 years of history was reversed by the Japanese archipelago with 1,800 years of history. 300 years later, Joseon became a reclusive country with a policy of isolation, and Japan defeated the Russian fleet through the strategy of Yi Sun-sin, the great naval admiral of the country it invaded 300 years ago, and later joined the ranks of the great powers. Yi Sun sin's the world's top 3 naval admiral and the turtle ship is an invincible Korean Item in the Age of Empires PC Games.

I am a Korean who has lived in Seoul for 31 years and has been in the United States for 36 years. It's been 22 years since I've been to Korea, but seeing the places you filmed brought tears to my eyes and I really want to go there. Thank you for loving Korea.

It's not exact, but it seems to start this year. From what I briefly looked into, it runs from April to October (probably excluding winter) and runs from Friday to Sunday. Please note this information may be incorrect (Korean, translator)

Only Chinese would say things like this to frame Koreans as thieves. And you are 100% Chinese. Most Koreans see Chinese characters as the least advanced and the most inconvenient and unscientific letter system. If you are a real Korean, you would know this.
Hanja is not chinese character but korean character.

Hanja is indeed chinese character. 한자나 일본의 칸지는 다 결국 중국한자가 맞죠. 저희는 한글로 대체를 한거고 일본은 중국한자를 현지화한 칸지와 카타카나/히라가나를 같이 쓰는거고요.

If you are a real Korean, you would know that Chinese writing system is one of the most unscientific letter systems out there. Koreans would NEVER want to claim Chinese characters. So stop pretending to be Korean. Confucius is Chinese, and Hanzi is Chinese. Koreans don't want Chinese characters. And you are only saying this to defame Koreans. So sick of these little pinks.
