VIDEO: South Korea’s Shining City 

August 2, 2021

Seoul, the capital of South Korea, is the country’s largest metropolis, boasting huge skyscrapers, high-speed public transportation and the latest in trends that will soon circle the globe. But this city also holds hundreds of years of history, culture and religion, which have shaped its growth and continue to impact how it functions today and thus how it will work in the future. The geography of the Seoul area is just as varied as its history; director Brandon Li explores the different aspects of the city through captivating shots of the landscape that are juxtaposed with similar-looking modern features. Above all, this video focuses on the residents of Seoul—their daily lives, journeys, work and commutes—to tell a story about the city.
