> Seoul is not a pretty town, not at least by most Western senses of beauty.

Seoul is one of the most intensely aesthetic places on the planet. It's ugliness wraps all the way around into a kind of brutalist cyber punk thing that I find to be one of the coolest aesthetics of any city anywhere. I don't think I've ever found brutalist stuff to be beautiful outside of Seoul

Really grateful for the countless hours of my life I've gotten to spend walking around Seoul between 3-6am
