Beautiful, but may I ask, what is that area known as between 7:40 and 8:00 during the video, does that area have a distinct name in Korea? Thanks....

From 7:32 - 7:58? That is Haeinsa! The temple is part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site. Haeinsa is most notable for being the home of the Tripitaka Koreana, the world's most comprehensive and oldest intact version of Buddhist canon in Hanja script.

@Manajah1985 Could you please tell me if it is in walking distance to the area known as Beopjusa (popchusa), or are they great distances apart and require transportation. Thank you Manajah....

You need Transportation! The Haeinsa Temple is in a Other Province as Beopjusa. Beopjusa is in the Chungcheongbuk-do Province and Haeinsa is in the South Gyeongsang Province.
