First Time in South Korea | 48 Hours in Seoul

We have arrived in South Korea - this is our first time here in Seoul and we are so excited to be here!

Wow we have packed in so much - I didn't know you could do this much in one city. First up - you know how much we love theme parks so we have headed to Seoul's own version of Disney - Lotte World Theme park.

After going on so many rollercoasters we worked up quite the appetite, heading to the michelin star restaurant in Lotte World tower (the 5th tallest tower in the world) to eat at Bicena and try our first Koraen dish.

Beauty treatments are massive in Korea, so no better place than heading to Jenny's House to get a hair and face treatment done. Wow was our skin clear after our visit.

To end our first day we wanted to compare the Michelin rated restaurant to the street food scene - so we headed to the Kwang Hang Night market.

In the morning we headed to Seouls only UNESCO palace -
Changdeokgung Palace to wear the traditional Korean hanbok dresses and enjoy the culture of this 16th century palace.

As we were walking the streets we went past the Gwanghwamun gate to watch the changing of gaurd before making our way to Bukchon Hanok Village, a 100 year old village with locals still living in it today.

To end our incredible 2 days here we went to San Chon restaurant to have a traditional Buddhist Dinner.

Thanks to the incredible crew- check them out here!

Thanks to the Sony Australia team for believing in us and bringing us out here.

Korea is pretty underrated travel destination...by Western tourists at least. It has a lot of things to see and do.

[matthewdelamerced]

한국에 오신 것을 환영합니다 ^^
행복한 추억이였으면 좋겠어요💜

[kristenkellyyy]

You should come to Busan!! I'm a canadian living in Busan and it's one of the best cities I've ever been to!

[ellebee]

I lived in Seoul in the early 90s and the inside area of Lotte World looks exactly the same! The rest of the city has changed drastically, . Thanks for sharing!

[meena]

I love Korea, ITS AMAZING!!! Also pro tip for future travelers, you can rent a Hanbok and get free entrance to visit Gyeongbokgung Palace (The Main Royal Palace)!!

[soohyunkim]

You guys look so cute in the hanboks!!!


Pro Tip: If you wear the traditional clothing into the palace, you get in for free! There's shops near Gyeongbokgong that rent out the hanboks.

Seoul is a great place! I've been there a few times and think it's amazing. It was funny to see the Kwangjang Market; I filmed the same ladies for my vlog a few years ago.
Have one question though. How do you make sure to take turns and not talk over each other when vlogging together? My husband and I struggle with that for our channel.

[missfoxx]

Yes! Can't wait to see more of Korea. Makes me want to go back so much!!

[TaniellePowell]

Always wanted to travel to South Korea but sounds like you guys are having an amazing time! Great video!

[annettediaz]

OMG! I’m falling in love with this couple! That spicy lush rice cake is called tteokbokki, it’s one of my favourite Korean foods! Their side dishes is called banchan. Lots of good Korean food to try, make sure you don’t miss them while you are there.

[MafaldaTeixeiraa]

I always wanted to go to Seoul it's been on my bucket list for years!!! You just made me want to go there even more than i already wanted!!

[adrianparfum]

Thx for introducing Seoul to the world.😊
just for further info,

9:28 you describe “soju” as a rice wine, but actually the right one you’ve tried is “Makgeolli”.
While Soju is a clear, colorless distilled liquor, Makgeolli is a traditional Korean alcoholic beverage made from grains such as sweet rice, regular rice, barley and wheat, and malt.
They are different☺️
I hope you, lovely and gorgeous couple would taste “Makgeolli/Korean rice wine” next time!

Appreciate your amazing videos❤️

[jonahlindroos]

Lol at 4.40 the guy watching you eating your food snapping a picture 😂

[DanegerAndStacey]
