Inside Korea’s Failed New Capital – Sejong, Korea
Today we are exploring Korea’s new capital: Sejong. They plan to move the capital from Seoul to Sejong for several reasons like decentralizing the economic power or reducing the big crowds in Seoul. Sejong is a planned city, planned and built from scratch and opened around 12 years ago. Many people say Sejong is a failed city and many media reports state that as well. But how is the life really like in Sejong? I am here to find out. So, we are going to spend a typical day here that a person who lives here could also have in order to find out if this is a livable and futuristic city (as promised) or really a failed city. Let’s explore Sejong, Korea and find out!

Me, an Italian, wondering why the Koreans named a fast food chain "Latteria" 🤔😂
wow this dude aus germany saying a lot of here or hier!!
3:30 ? ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ 개웃겨 의도치않게 무료로 탔네
although it is a very well-designed city
there are better cities in korea such as Songdo and Cheongna etc.
sejongs' just lost in the competition.
Shaker fries and all other types of powder coating is popular all throughout Asia 😅
looks like a low tire Chinese development city but without a lot of infrastructure like a metro
Koreans are moving slowly there so they look very relaxed.
3:30 u didnt pay bro 😅 the card reader said “u need to tag only one card “ maybe u had 2 card and more in your hand
1000번째 댓글은 제껍니다🥴
제목부터 틀렸네요. 실패한 새로운 수도가 아님 왜냐하면 수도였던 적이 없으니까. 세종은 관습헌법때문에 수도가 아니라 행정부 일부만 이전한 그냥 행정도시임.
대한민국의 수도는 서울입니다.
I would not visit ANY administrative cities or districts in the world, too many bureaucrates around 😄😄😄
sänk you for trävellin wis deutsche bahn
33:48 if you go inside builing, you will find convenience store and other food shop😂
Your accent is very interesting, are you German?
I guess it's worth visiting if you want to experience the novelty of a newly constructed city.
It looks like Singapore! And that's a compliment!
Invite rich Indians and this city population will increase
The title of this video is exaggerated. It is not successful but it is not even close to be failed at all.
Also you may have taken a video when every one is working in the office because the majority of people living here are working as a public servant.
Yeah, lotteria is everywhere, and my favorite among those are Burger King.
350,000 people… and it looks like a ghosttown. That must be a big city
실패한 도시는 아닌데 그렇다고 성공한 도시도 아니지 ㅋㅋ 하루빨리 국회랑 대통령실도 세종시로 옮겨야함
사실 수도가 되지 못 했기 때문에. 실패했다는 말을 붙이기엔…
9:00 you are walking on the wrong side of the footpath. Makes me so mad korea has nice wide pathways with lines on it, and even koreans walk on the wrong side. Irrationally makes me mad
