Seoul vs Countryside [Kor. & Eng. Subtitles] | 서울 vs 지방

My Korean friend Summer originally is from an area close to Seoul, but moved south to the Korean countryside for work. She’s been living in the countryside for awhile but often tells me how much she misses being close to Seoul, so I wanted to chat with her about what the pros and cons are of the countryside.

For a traveler, I wanted to know which she thought was better – visiting Seoul, or visiting the countryside.

And also as a Korean person, I wanted to know which one a person might prefer, and why.

What are your opinions? Have you ever lived in the countryside before? What did you like or dislike?
