I would guess, maybe outside China, Seoul has to be one of the least international and one of the least interesting cities in the world. It offers very little really but mostly the same stuff everywhere, a million Koreans and almost no variety. Or maybe China, big city, is more interesting?

Seoul is overrated and overrates itself. The people are not as friendly as some smaller places, I guess normal, that is that big cities are colder than smaller towns. But Seoul offers little. Where in Korea offers much? I don't know.

of course there are cooler cities than Seoul but to look at Seoul by itself - it is indeed bright and vibrant. cosmopolitan? perhaps only where the super rich hang and thats about it

i miss Seoul and the bright lights (and im in NYC), the 24 hour shopping in dongdaemun, even cafes in nyc dont open all night and in korea, they do

and the 24 hour food delivery rocks in korea

certainly a unique city

I fail to see how Sar-ool can be considered overrated, folks. Who overrates it? Paris - now that's an overrated city, dog *beep* all over the streets. Koreans don't like Seoul in my experience - they think it's dirty and has no character or beauty. And non-Koreans certainly don't rate or overrate Seoul because it has relatively little tourism. I cannot recall hearing any propaganda attempting to big-up Seoul. I think it's underrated in this regard - it's a pretty cool place that nobody knows about or considers visiting.
