Safety

The Special City of Seoul is both the capital of South Korea as well as the country’s largest metropolitan area. Initially called the Wiryeseong, Seoul took on its current name after World War II. Beforehand, Korea had been annexed by Japan and dubbed Keijo by the government. However, after Korea was liberated in 1945, the citizens of South Korea sought to redefine their country and their culture. Many years later, Seoul stands as a testament to these citizens’ spirits, as well as the spirits of their descendants. As of 2017, more than 9 million people call Seoul home. Seoul has also hosted the Asia Games, the FIFA World Cup, and the Olympics.
