    10:30 Great video, but I think your information about Leeum is wrong. If you want to view the permanent exhibition which are comprised of traditional arts the price is free but you will have to make a reservation. They only charge you for special exhibitions. And their traditional art collection is no slouch despite being free as a lot of National Treasures and Treasures officially designated by the Cultural Heritage Administration are in display. These were collected by the Lee Family behind Samsung, particularly the mother of the current chairperson Hong Ra-hee who is well-versed in art collecting and founded the museum along with her late husband. And the architecture of the museum are done by three world-renowned architects.

    I been to Korea about 4 times and missed some of this places. You have the best way to show this places, including maps, subway stations, number of exit and photo of this area. Keep it up, and also use of names places in English and Korean. Not always pronounce correct in English on Korean streets. I love it.👍👍👍
