I have seen so many mediocre write ups in media about Korea, particularly Seoul. Articles feature spots that aren’t that impressive. They promote plastic-sheened artificially manufactured tourist zones. The foods they feature create eyerolls to people who actually live here.
Not only have I noticed this. I regularly talk to travelers who were disappointed in their travels to Seoul, following some itinerary from a few blogs they read.
