Seoul is the capital of South Korea. South Korea is one of the " Asian Four Little Dragons ", with a developed economy and a large population. So, as the political, economic and cultural center of South Korea, if Seoul is placed in our country, what is its economic ranking? You may not believe it if you say it.
Seoul
South Korea is located in East Asia, in the southern part of the Korean Peninsula, surrounded by the sea on three sides, bordering the Yellow Sea on the west, Korean Strait in the southeast, japanese Sea to the east, and adjacent to North Korea through the 8th parallel demilitarized zone. The total area is about 103,290 square kilometers (accounting for 45% of the area of the Korean Peninsula), and is commonly spoken Korean, with a total population of about 52 million. The capital is Seoul.

As one of the four Asian dragons, South Korea has a developed economy and is one of the few developed countries in Asia. In 2021, South Korea's GDP reached US$1.8 trillion, accounting for half of the total national GDP. Seoul alone has a GDP of US$915 billion, making it one of the 15 richest cities in the world. In my country, it is equivalent to the economic level of first-tier cities such as Shanghai and Beijing.
Seoul
In history, South Korea was once a part of North Korea. In the 1950s, the Korean War initiated by the United States split North Korea into two countries - North Korea and South Korea. The former capital of North Korea, Seoul, , became the capital of South Korea, and was renamed Seoul, Pyongyang, , became the capital of today's North Korea. Therefore, Seoul has developed its economy and has been built.

But now, South Korea has a not low status in the international field and is still a loyal "little follower" of the United States. South Korea has rich tourism resources and profound cultural heritage, attracting a large number of tourists to visit every year. In recent years, most Chinese have also regarded South Korea as a destination for tourism. South Korea has rich tourism resources, and is close to my country, and has convenient transportation. Moreover, most Koreans can speak Chinese in a little bit, and language communication is not a big problem. Naturally, many Chinese people travel to South Korea.

However, although South Korea has a high international status, South Korea has a bad reputation in the hearts of people around the world. In the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics field, the Korean player made several fouls in an attempt to get good results in this way. However, South Korea's small abacus was seen through by the people and the referees, and did not let South Korea succeed.
Not only that, South Korea also often copy the culture of other countries. For example, the Koreans "take away" Confucius and insisted that Confucius belongs to South Korea; for example, the Koreans "take away" our Spring Festival and insisted that the Spring Festival originated from South Korea and went all over the world. People have no other way to South Korea, which robs other countries of culture.

Seoul is developing rapidly and requires a large number of people to build this city. As one of the fifteen richest cities in the world, Seoul has a very large population, making this city very modern. However, the influx of foreign population, local population, and people coming to travel often exceed the burden of Seoul, so Seoul is often crowded.

Seoul is a good place with a developed economy. Seoul's GDP total reaches 1/5 of the entire South Korea, and it plays an important role in the entire South Korea. The Korean entertainment industry that makes Seoul famous also plays an important role in the world and is the love of countless young people. Now, Seoul's economy is still developing rapidly and is gradually growing into a first-tier city in the world, and more people will have a new understanding of South Korea.
