Went to Seoul Forest in Seongsu-dong and accidentally walked into a Pokémon event 😭

TL;DR — IN KOREAN VIBES

Pokémon GO and official Pokémon events in Korea regularly cause massive surprise turnouts at public parks, catching casual visitors completely off guard. Seongsu-dong's Seoul Forest is already a hugely popular photo spot, so the collision of a surprise Pokémon event with the usual weekend crowd made for a chaotic and relatable moment.

bro went out for a casual afternoon walk at Seoul Forest in Seongsu-dong and had absolutely NO idea there was an event going on 💀 literally just showed up like a regular person and suddenly there were SO many people everywhere — like an insane amount. turns out there was a Pokémon event happening and the whole park was packed fr fr. didn't even get to snap any Pokémon pics which, honestly, is a personal failure we need to talk about. BUT — the silver lining? got a massive dump of aesthetic walking-around-Seoul photos instead. 35 shots of pure Seongsu-dong main character energy, no cap. the vibe was immaculate even if the Pokémon were not caught. posted via DC Official App from the Digital Photography Gallery.
