Seoul is the capital of South Korea, a city with a long history and rich culture.
Seoul is divided into 25 districts known as “gu” and 467 neighborhoods known as “dong” such as Myeongdong, Insadong, and Seongsudong.
Today, we will meet a Dutch YouTuber who has been exploring and documenting the unique sights and stories found in these Seoul neighborhoods from top to bottom. It’s Bart van Genugten, who’s running the channel “iGoBart”. Welcome Bart!
1) We heard you just recently came back from a trip? Why don’t we start with that?
2) You were traveling around the world and you ended up settling in one of the countries you visited, which is South Korea. What was the deciding factor for you to live here?
3) On your YouTube channel “iGoBart” you have a series called “Welcome to My Dong”. Please tell us about it and how it started.
4) (So, why did you choose to introduce all “dongs” and not “gus”?) In which neighborhoods of Seoul have you lived and what would you say describes those neighborhoods?
5) Any fun or memorable episodes while making any of the “Welcome to My Dong” videos?
6) Is there any “dong” you would say is underrated, or too unknown that you would like to mention?
7) Why is Seoul an appealing travel destination?
8) Once you have introduced all 467 neighborhoods, what’s your next plan?
Thank you very much for sharing your story with us today Bart can't wait to check out all of your trips around Seoul and beyond.
Thank you Bella as always, I'll see you back tomorrow.
