Q: South Korea compared to Japan as a tourist destination
A: South Korea is the country that the young generation wants to visit. The country is very competitive when it comes to K-Beauty, club culture, and pretty cafes. But that's all there to it. Especially when the older generation comes to visit the country, they use a tour package and the courses are usually very monotonous. The food they eat is mostly Bibimbap and Barbeque. Especially the 'Orange sauce' (Gochujang) is included in every food we eat, I don't think the older generation will like it so much. On the other hand, there's something new every time you visit Japan. Each of the travel destinations such as Mount Fuji, hot springs, etc, has its own unique color. Their food is also more varied. Every city and neighborhood has its own special souvenir that makes you want to buy them. It's very different from Insa-dong. South Korea is too focused on Seoul. I don't think a lot of Thai people know Busan.
-There are a lot of beautiful places in South Korea, but not a lot of foreigners know about it...
-Everyone has their own preferences, I guess...
-I agree with her to some point. I think she prefers Japan.
-I have to agree with her. South Korea is a comfortable country to live in, but not to travel.
-Well... She didn't say anything that's wrong...
-She's rightㅋㅋ A foreign friend of mine visited Korea and said that there weren't a lot of places to visit.
-She's right. As a Korean, I find South Korea is boring, too.
-Then don't visit us through the travel packages. There are a lot of places to visit hereㅋㅋ
-Is Jeju Island not popular among foreigners? There are a lot of beautiful places in our country. It's a shame that they only know Seoulㅠㅠ
-She's right. I don't even travel in my own country.
-That's something that someone who only has visited Seoul would say.
-Honestly, we're all just pissed because we're compared to Japan. But if you read it thoroughly, she's stating facts.
-I don't want to judge someone's personal opinion. Maybe that's what she feels about our country.
