Most Seoul residents choose to drink bottled mineral water, however, it has been reported that Oh Se-hoon, not only vouches for but drinks the city tap water [1] English teachers from the likes of his hometown Mokdong, have quickly taken to his good example and now use tap water for cooking, drinking and mixing alcoholic beverages.
