My Korean is not that good and I do not have Korean friends but I always got the impression that Korean people rarely criticise people who live in Seoul. I think that in a lot of countries capital cities tend to have some sort of bad reputation among natives- usually being perceived as out of touch, snobbish, blindly following trends etc. I’m not saying Seoul’s like that but wondered if there is a group of Koreans that think like that and make fun of Seoul people for it.
In my country being called a capital’s city inhabitant is basically a slur at that point so that’s why I’m intrigued by the fact that I have never seen anyone criticising Seoul like that (ofc I’m not talking about criticism of things like high rent, pollution etc.)
Also in my country there is a stereotype of an average capital’s city inhabitant and again – I have never seen anyone doing that to Seoul’s inhabitants.
I wonder if it’s because I’m not that deep in Korean’s internet and don’t interact much with Koreans or is there really no such thing?
