It serves as a necessary reminder that the nation's identity is deeply rooted in these fading landscapes, far beyond the reach of Seoul’s hyper-modernity.

What Rural South Korea Really Looks LikeAdded:
Come with me and my friend Martha and my husband to take a little walking tour of a rural village in Haptan, South Korea.
I actually love it out here. There's so many cool things to see. Found a whole bunch of bees. This was right in front of this guy's house, by the way.
So, as soon as I saw those bees, I'm like, "Nope, moving on." Anyway, we actually came out here to do some volunteer work.
And so, while we're out here, I wanted to show you some of the beautiful sites.
There's a lots and lots of farming out here. These are rural communities.
Usually, a lot of elderly people live out here. I love how everything looks.
My father's a retired firefighter, so I also had to take a little peek at the fire hydrant. So many beautiful flowers.
And check out all the exercise equipment. There is no place in Korea where you can go where you would not going to find exercise equipment. And yeah, I decided to try a little.
>> [laughter] >> And then we had lunch with a big group of our friends, too. And I made a little salad, but we also had kimbap, cuz I was just feeling a little a little salad-ish. And so much food to share.
Like a fun little walk
