Media Log #2: Infinitely Yours, Seoul

It has been almost two months since me and my family went to South Korea. I remembered how excited I was at the day of our flight. I woke up early in the morning and quickly turned on the television and I was shocked on what I saw. It was a music video of two Korean groups singing for the tourism of Seoul. I thought it was a sign of what happiness we will have since that song is rarely aired or maybe it was the first time they played it.

It was shown in the video the love stories of different famous Idols (the name referring to Korean singers) in different famous places in Seoul. Tourist spots from ancient palaces to places where Korean dramas shoot. You will be struck with large buildings surrounding you as well as the nature you will see. When you travelled to Seoul and saw a spot from the music video, you will tell to yourself “Wow! This is the place where they shot the video and maybe they are also standing at this exact place”.

The lyric of the song is very inspiring although it is in Korean language. It tells you how Seoul itself can make your feelings light or some sort of less worry. I felt I do not want to go home when I saw their environment – an 8.4 kilometers river at the middle of the city and even the Cherry Blossom trees during spring season. If you are a K-Pop fan like me and you saw this music video, surely you will tell yourself that you must go there as soon as possible. That music video is hardly the main reason why you should try to go to Seoul and why I want to go back.
