South Korea
Here are some of my favorite edits from my two weeks I spent in Korea, soaking in the rich culture.
This bronze hands statue decorates the courtyard outside the Coex mall in the heart of Gangnam, Seoul, South Korea to commemorate the popular song “Gangnam Style” which helped to promote South Korean “hallyu” culture and open up the world to the beautiful country.
South Korea is known for its traditional buildings that still stand, containing so much rich history. This palace called Deoksugung Palace is the last one to house the emperor of Korea before it fell under Japanese tyranny, leading to its own liberation and eventually becoming the Republic of Korea.
Inside the Coex, you’ll find this enourmous library, that is more decorative than useful. Many of the books are useable, including for purchase, but many more line the sky high shelves creating an aesthetic that is a book lovers dream.
