South Korea is mostly known for being modern – even futuristic.
And when you’re in the major cities like Seoul and Busan, you can see this everywhere with all the towering buildings, ultra-bright city lights, and high-speed Internet. Even their tourism organizations highlight the country’s dynamism and rapid progress.
