In this travel vlog, I visit one of South Korea’s most powerful and emotional historical sites - Seodaemun Prison History Hall. Located in Seoul, this former prison tells the story of Korea’s fight for independence during the Japanese occupation, making it a must-visit destination for anyone interested in Korean history, dark tourism, and meaningful cultural travel.
Filming inside the prison was restricted, so after my visit I take you through my experience by sharing the powerful stories, historical context, and images I captured during my time there. From the prison cells to the execution grounds, I explain what I saw and learned while visiting one of Korea’s most notorious prisons, offering an honest and reflective perspective on this important site.
If you’re planning a trip to Seoul, South Korea, or searching for unique things to do beyond popular areas like Myeongdong, Hongdae, or Gyeongbokgung Palace, Seodaemun Prison History Hall is an essential stop. This video is perfect for anyone interested in Seoul travel, Korean history, and real travel experiences.
