Samsung is by far the biggest company in South Korea. It makes more than twice as much as the next largest South Korean corporation. In order to house their more than 250,000 employees, the electronics giant has built its own city just outside Seoul. Today we’re learning about the city that Samsung built. The Samsung Group, which includes Samsung Electronics and Samsung Life Insurance among others, has an annual revenue of 208 billion dollars, accounting for 17% of South Korea’s total GDP. Though it has been plagued by controversy in recent years, it is by far one of the largest corporations on Earth. Samsung produces everything from medical supplies to energy and they have substantial holdings in finance, resort management, and insurance. In the first quarter of 2019, Samsung shipped 71.9 million smartphone units, compared to Huawei and Apple, which shipped 59.1 million and 36.4 million, respectively, according to IDC.

Today, let's walk on the night of Seoul, where heavy snow fell last Wednesday night. We start at a restaurant near Anguk Station in Seoul and go to Jongno-gu district via Anguk Station, Bukchon Hanok Village, Samcheong-dong and Gyeongbokgung Palace. A massive snow storm on Wednesday night brought chaos to roads and highways across Seoul,... leaving numerous cars stranded and abandoned overnight on icy streets. On top of that,.. the sub-freezing temperatures have caused the ice to take hold, making this morning's commute even more difficult. The heavy snow that fell across large parts of South Korea on Wednesday night sparked chaotic scenes on the nation's roads and caused traffic gridlock. This included millions of people heading home from work in Seoul. Among the hardest-hit areas,... many drivers in southern Seoul were forced to abandon their cars overnight,... as they were unable to move due to the slippery conditions. Others cars crawled through the streets,... some barely moving for hours. Citizens and police officers were seen pushing cars,... even buses. However,... due to temperatures dropping to as low as minus-17 degrees Celsius,... roads are frozen,... which could cause problems for those headed to work on Thursday morning.
