You’ve never seen Seoul quite like this.

Although there are more than 270,000 foreigners living in South Korea’s capital Seoul, expat life in the massive city has had some mixed reviews; like any city in the world, it has its share of pros and cons. But while the sprawling city—home to more than 10 million people—is known as a business hub, the beauty of its everyday life is rarely captured. So when US photographer-turned-English-teacher James L McKown took up his camera and caught some of those moments, many netizens were blown away by the simplicity, uniqueness and beauty of living in Seoul. Check out some of James’s shots below and experience the dichotomy of culture, nature, and business for yourself.
