That doesn't look like Korea, I'm guessing Japan. The text looks like Chinese characters, and Korea hasn't used those for hundreds of years. Korean script is more blocky and easily recognizable even with this incredible level of blur.

The black speech bubble looks absolutely like Korean to me. It's possible the text underneath is simply a translation for Japanese and Chinese, though.

Perhaps. I can't make out the black bubble, it's too blurry, but I can definitely tell the white bubble is not Korean (SO is Korean and I can read but not speak Korean). If there were just a few more pixels, I could probably read what it says, and I can distinguish Japanese and Chinese, so I could make an educated guess about it being a translation.

That all looks like Hangul to me.

It apparently is, but it was so pixelated it looked like it could be Chinese or Japanese, and those posts are much more common than posts about Korea.

Someone posted a higher res image elsewhere, so I transcribed the Hangul and ran it through Google translate, in case anyone is interested: https://sh.itjust.works/comment/15943722

It's the Sangbong subway station in Seoul.

Oh crazy, even the bottom is in Korean.

Black bubble:

에너지 아끼고 건강도 챙기고

Google translate:

Save energy and take care of your health.

Circled bubble in the white box:

생활 속 헬스장

Google translate:

Gym in your life.

Then the bottom:

계단올 두 칸 오를 때 미다

Google translate:

Every time you climb two steps

And then just documents how much energy you burn.

I'd attempt to actually translate it myself, but I honestly don't trust my vocab so I went with the Google translation, which is close enough.

Anyone can translate this?

The small amount of pixels make it look Klingon, lol.

Got you, I translated it in another comment here, along with the transcribed Hangul: https://sh.itjust.works/comment/15943722
