Hello my friends, I'm Seoul Walker. Today, let's walk around Gangnam Station on Friday evening. In this video you can see many people going home after a work, waiting for the bus, and many young people coming out to enjoy the night. Actually most clubs in Gangnam have been shut down for over a month because of the coronavirus. Also most people wear masks when they go out. These days it's so easy to get a mask in South Korea. People can buy two masks a week at every pharmacy in the country. So we no longer have to wait in line to buy a mask. Because the government and mask companies has made more than 10 million masks a day. Currently, 50 million people live in Korea. It's 1500won(USD 1.2) for one. In fact, Gangnam is the most popular area especially for young people in Seoul. People don't have a panic, but of course we always think this situation is serious and most people are participating in social distance except famous places like Gangnam. Enjoy your walk.

Gangnam Station is a station in the Gangnam District and Seocho District of Seoul, South Korea, on the Seoul Subway Line 2. This station serves as a crucial transfer point between Line 2 and buses to all over Seoul and southern Gyeonggi Province. It became the northern terminus of the Shinbundang Line on October 29, 2011, the southern terminus being at Jeongja Station. Both stations have two tracks and two side platforms. The area surrounding the station is an important commercial and entertainment district. The station is located at the western end of Teheranno, home to many corporate headquarters and impressive towers, while the area immediately to the north of the station is densely packed with bars, restaurants and clubs. There are also many shops in the subway station below ground. In 2007, the area was the 10th most expensive shopping street in the world with an average rent of US$431 per square foot.[3] The section of Gangnam Boulevard from exit No.2 of this station to exit No.5 of Sinnonhyeon Station of Line 9 is designated as a smoke-free zone by the Gangnam District office.[4] Line 2 runs on the right hand track, whereas the Shinbundang Line runs on the left hand track; this is because the Shinbundang Line is a national railway line (which typically runs on the left), while Line 2 is a subway line (which typically runs on the right in Seoul). This can be confusing to tourists making a transfer here, as many tourists are accustomed to riding on either the left-hand track or the right-hand track. -from Wikipedia
