My thoughts exactly. But even if there somehow isn't? I couldn't see many people knowing enough about it to call you out on it. Fiction is fiction, even if it has some connections to reality.

Paynesgrey:
Depending on your theme and tastes it's fun finding obscure antiquities nobody thought mattered to tie into your Big Bad.  Something that brings up a faint recollection of some old historical quirk of trivia, and then ratchets it up into the Oh Shit! bell.

Did some wikipeeking, and saw that Seoul is 2,000 years old.  A lot of material to work with.

superpsycho:
I haven't been to Soul since the late sixties but when I was there they had large flood control canals like L.A.
At the time there were shanty towns of wood and cardboard all along it in some areas. Some of the lines feeding the canal where pretty big. Either would serve as a hiding place during the day.  Of course it would depend on the time period of the story and prosperity of the area being used.

Heh.   I can totally see a full third of northern Virginia screaming 'You stupid cretin - Seoul was all wooden farmhouses until the war and then it got flattened flatter than Hiroshima and burnt crispier than Dresden just to eliminate enemy hidey holes'.    If they believed it they'd do it, whatever the facts might be.

What about the possibility of A forgotten bomb shelter that connects with a pocket dimension?
