    A fake library full of fake books for fake people

    COEX Mall’s “Library”: a playground for faux-intellectuals and a paradise for smartphone lenses. They converted their food court into social media chum, because nothing says “world travel” like faux literary sophistication.

    So you flew halfway around the globe to stand in a fake library? Sure, there are some real books, mostly in Korean, flanked by their poser cousins made of styrofoam.

    Feel free to snap that clichéd Instagram pic everyone else has. Just remember, time is precious—especially when you’re in a city as vibrant as Seoul. Don’t squander it chasing after pixelated prestige.

    Parasite Filming Locations

    If you’re in Seoul and are a film of the Oscar-winning film “Parasite,” you will be interested in visiting some filming locations. Most of the film was shot on a sound stage. Half the Parks’ house was digitized, so it’s not available. Yet there are a few iconic shots that were filmed in different parts of Seoul.

    Here’s a map. I’ll update it frequently when I find new locations. Bookmark this page.
