Bitter, Sweet, Seoul

Today’s post isn’t related to transport or urban development in Korea. Still it shows something wonderful about Seoul, which is worth to share. Seoul initiated a project to produce a movie  with the help of movie directors Park Chan-Wook and Park Chan-Kyong. The directors didn’t film anything! Over a period of three month in 2013 anybody could upload their private videos, which just had to follow the condition that it is made in Seoul. Over 10,000 videos have been submitted and the movie directors chose videos from 141 participants, which they edited to a one-hour movie. The result is pretty nice and this project shows how important the citizens are for Seoul Metropolitan Government. The current Mayor Park Won-Soon puts people in the center of his policies. Enjoy this video!
