Korea is known for its awesome nightlife. Some popular clubs that you should check out are Octagon, Club Mecha, and Club Ellui just to name a few. It's said that Koreans just go insane when they party. We think it's because Koreans just love to get drunk.

7. The Outdoors

Most of South Korea is actually still forested. And many of the cities in Korea are actually built around the natural beauties that Korea has to offer.
