We often forget that Korea also has a dark and painful past, and I find that this visit reminds us well. I highly recommend it if you are interested in the history of the country.

Although some parts were a bit frightening, and I was hesitant at first, it’s important to explore the darker aspects of Korea’s history that are often overshadowed by K-pop. This experience was eye-opening and thought-provoking.
