Solo in Seoul Ep 1: Dongmyo Flea Market, Semi-Permanent Makeup & Returning After 11 Years

It’s been 11 years since I last spent time in Seoul, and 6 since I was back in Korea. Wandering the city on my own—through eyes shaped by years of living in the States—hit differently this time. I didn’t realize how many quiet details I had taken for granted until returning as a visitor. ------------------------------------------ ✫ PLACES ✫ Dongmyo Flea Market https://maps.app.goo.gl/ekQrqwvDho6G4...
