Seems like you came across the namesake Dongmyo Shrine dedicated to Chinese general Guan Yu. The construction was endorsed by Ming generals who fought for Korea against a full-scale Japanese invasion in the 1590s. About the presence of Chinese characters, yes that's normal and you'd see them at traditional temples/palaces. More than half of Korean vocabulary is Sino-Korean, like how Latin/Greek roots are for English words. It's only been about 50 years since written Korean became almost entirely pure Korean script (Hangul); even up to the 90s, there'd be a ton of Chinese characters on newspapers. The name of almost any neighborhood or person can be written in Chinese characters, of which you'll come across many examples in subway stations (although written in simplified script for mainland Chinese visitors). Conveniently, one block of Korean characters represents the sound of a single Chinese character. Korea is 韓國 in Chinese characters and 한국 in Hangul, which is pronounced han'guk. Sometimes with senior citizens I'd say yeah maybe they have an excuse because Korea wasn't as well of as today... so manner standards may be drastically different among generations. Market areas along Cheonggyecheon stream are popular with the elderly & especially around Tapgol Park where many grandpas will be playing Chinese chess outside the park walls all day. + The fuzzy stuff were magnolia buds for steeping tea.
I am going to Korea for the first time in my life ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ and I am going to Japan 🇯🇵 for the first time in my life ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ keep the good work ❤️❤️❤️ I have learned a lot lately about Korea and Japan 🇯🇵❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
If you are getting pushed over by older men, it's probably because you are walking too slowly lol...love the crowd there and all the shopping options. Surprised you did not get any deep fried food and a drink on this vlog.
you're at a flea market. it's for old folks. no young people will be going to a place like this. go to any other part of seoul. hongdae, gangnam, seoungsu...etc

한국인으로써, 가장 큰 욕은 중국인이냐고 묻는것이 가장 큰 실례입니다.
한국인은 95프로가 중국인에게 적대감을 품고있기 때문입니다.
그들은 4000년동안 한국을 침략하고 노략질 해왔습니다.
