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!

  1. 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.

  2. Shaker fries and all other types of powder coating is popular all throughout Asia 😅

  3. 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

  4. 제목부터 틀렸네요. 실패한 새로운 수도가 아님 왜냐하면 수도였던 적이 없으니까. 세종은 관습헌법때문에 수도가 아니라 행정부 일부만 이전한 그냥 행정도시임.
    대한민국의 수도는 서울입니다.

  5. I would not visit ANY administrative cities or districts in the world, too many bureaucrates around 😄😄😄

  6. 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.

  7. Yeah, lotteria is everywhere, and my favorite among those are Burger King.

  8. 실패한 도시는 아닌데 그렇다고 성공한 도시도 아니지 ㅋㅋ 하루빨리 국회랑 대통령실도 세종시로 옮겨야함

  9. 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
