I continued my adventure in Seoul, starting with a delicious bakery before exploring Insadong, where I found a charming art exhibition. Later, I visited Bukchon Hanok Village, which was initially disappointing due to restrictions but I loved its cozy, traditional vibes on a second visit. I also experienced Hongdae's energetic nightlife, enjoyed Korean barbecue, and explored Gangnam, including the underwhelming Starfield Library, the Gangnam Hand statue, and the bustling underground shopping center. — Seoul · Insadong

I found the Starfield Library a bit underwhelming; while the floor-to-ceiling bookshelves were pretty, it felt like a one-and-done moment after taking photos and doing a lap.
