A: Yes, you can say "we" or "you." Both would mean the same thing. "We" would be more specific and mean "We Koreans" or "We people in Seoul." "You" is more vague and general and doesn't imply any people in particular. Hope this helps!

However, if you are talking about a general experience, but you know this experience yourself (because you're from Seoul), you can say "we". But "you" sounds more natural.

Of course, if you're talking about a specific thing about yourself, you say "we".
