Over the past few decades, South Korea has had one of the most miraculous economic and social transformations in history. But has this come at too big of a cost? And what is it really like to be a young South Korean today?
In this video, we're in Seoul's most expensive and aspirational neighborhood: Gangnam, looking for the dark side of the South Korean miracle. We join a tour organized by a young Korean wanting to share a more nuanced perspective on South Korea's economic success.

*We did not partner with June on this tour or receive anything for free, but we wanted to share his tour because we enjoyed it so much*

South Korea was our 40th country together🌍
During the rest of our group trip, we got up to lots of cool and unforgettable things, from visiting an off-the-beaten-path part of the Korean DMZ, meeting a North Korean defector living in Seoul, hiking Seoul's tallest mountain Bukhansan, doing an incredible food tour of Gwangjang Market, and more.
Thank you for watching!🙏😍
