In this e-book, I want to show you the Seoul that most people completely miss. Not just the polished version filled with viral cafés, K-drama filming spots, and tourist checklists, but the deeper city hidden underneath the surface. Over the last few years, I explored more than 180 neighborhoods of Seoul, slowly discovering forgotten alleys, Cold War remnants, mountain villages, bizarre stories, hidden architecture, local legends, and places even many Koreans told me they never knew existed.
This book contains more than 50 hand-picked locations that stayed with me the most. Every place comes with story context, video links, and direct map links to help you experience Seoul differently, not as a tourist rushing from hotspot to hotspot, but as someone genuinely exploring the city.
This is Volume 1 of an ongoing series, and honestly, Volume 2 is already well underway. If people enjoy this Volume, I would love to continue expanding it with more hidden places, stories, and neighborhoods across Seoul.
More importantly, if you value Seoul and believe YouTube projects like this help archive the stories, places, and atmosphere of this rapidly changing city, buying the e-book directly helps sustain the Welcome to My Dong project until the very end. In a way, it also makes you part of the journey.
