So my friend was in Korea in December and new year and he filmed two parts video of the Hongdae area in Seoul.

Just to show what goes on in the night time of Hongdae. Really interesting stuff.

Why when I go to asia is it always foreigners who get into retarded fights

so embarrassing.
Interesting footage though especially that it is subtitled.

That was quite interesting. Ahhh, Hongdae. TBH I never really got into that part of Korean nightlife. Always preferred going earlier in the day and chilling at one of the cute cafes (my favorite was the Hello Kitty cafe ^^). The one night I did go out clubbing in Hongdae, I kept getting ambushed by creepy old Indian men on the streets, so I never went back after that :/

Really great videos. I watched both. Your friend got some excellent footage. I love all the drunk people falling all over themselves and passing out in the street. lol

Very cool videos for someone like me who has never been to Korea. And yeah, the fight in the first video is definitely entertaining and yet, I couldn't help but face palm.

Love the camera work, the jazz in part 2 is happening. Love the sax player, he's not the best but you can tell he loves what he does

The foreigner in that freestyle was terrible. Great footage, maybe I'll go there next time I'm in Asia.

I'm with Kiett on this one. I don't go there at night (I don't drink and I'm not interested in clubbing/bars.), but I love it during the day. In addition to the quirky cafes, and the weekly market there's also Volks Korea, Book Saetong, Toon K, and the Comic World shop to keep me occupied with geekery. It's a great place to stroll around taking photos of too thanks to the street art etc.
