A future where Seoul to Busan takes just 20 minutes 🚅 Starting in 2026, Korea is set to fully push forward the development of ultra-high-speed HyperTube technology. The HyperTube is a next-gen transport system where maglev trains run through near-vacuum tubes, minimizing air resistance and reaching speeds of up to 1,200 km/h. Which means… That roughly 400 km between Seoul and Busan? Just 20 minutes. For comparison: 🚅 KTX takes about 2.5 hours, ✈️ even flying takes around 1 hour so yeah… 20 minutes sounds unreal. The project will focus on four key areas: dedicated tracks, superconducting electromagnets, driving control systems, and train design. The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport says the goal is to lead the global rail market and take Korean tech worldwide. If accessibility across Korea improves this much, it could seriously ease issues like over-concentration in the capital region—making this even more exciting. At this speed… commuting from Busan to Seoul mi...
