"South Korea and Japan. Both were countries we had long talked about visiting, thanks to their alluring blend of ancient charm and the hypermodern, but we kept waiting for "the right time." Japan is already a popular honeymoon destination for Americans right now-after a few nights of unwinding at a ryokan together, I can see why-but my take? Everyone should go to South Korea, where we spent three nights in Seoul, two in Busan, and two on Jeju Island."
"Our base in Seoul was young and international Hongdae, and we loved spending an afternoon in nearby Mangwon, snacking in the market, then sipping beer and playing cards in a shop called Mediums, where well-selected vinyl was always spinning. At night we worked our way through Euljiro's tucked-away bars and smoky barbecue joints (Sancheong Charcoal Garden for black pork was a favorite)."
Lived in New York City and planned a two-week honeymoon split between South Korea and Japan, choosing South Korea for its lively mix. Spent three nights in Seoul, two in Busan, and two on Jeju Island. Social nights centered on sizzling tabletop barbecue, soju with strangers, and tucked-away bars, while historic palaces and hanok villages provided quiet retreats. Days included K-fashion shopping and Olive Young skin-care runs. Based in Hongdae, afternoons were spent in Mangwon market and a vinyl-filled shop called Mediums; nights explored Euljiro and favorites like Sancheong Charcoal Garden for black pork. The trip balanced food, culture, shopping, and nightlife.
