Seoul is the capital and largest city of South Korea, home to about 10 million people (25 million in the metro area). It has been the capital of Korea for over 600 years, since the Joseon Dynasty.
The Korean War lasted from June 25, 1950 to July 27, 1953, when an armistice was signed. Technically, North and South Korea are still at war since no peace treaty was ever signed. The conflict resulted in the division along the 38th parallel.
BTS (Bangtan Sonyeondan) is widely considered the most popular K-pop group globally, with record-breaking album sales and the first K-pop act to top the US Billboard Hot 100. BLACKPINK is the most successful K-pop girl group internationally.
