Couple Culture

When I was in Seoul last we visited Seoul Tower. It was predictably a good spot to take in the view of the ~20 million+ city. I hadn't expected to find thousands of "couple love locks" hooked onto the chain link fence that was keeping us from falling down the mountainside. I came across this article about the phenomenon at the Korean Times website. The experience, for me, encapsulated the rampant couple culture here in Korea otherwise most notably present in the Sunday couples outfits.
