Drinking water in Seoul, Korea

[Tall Traveler]

I lived in an expensive building in Gangnam Gu and I know people there drank the water. I never did and when I brushed my teeth with the water, I got nauseous. I would recommend newcomers to use bottled water in Seoul.

That being said, I adjusted my system to the water, but it was a very eventful two weeks. This was back in 99-01. I have read the water is much better now and top of the line water systems used.
