Was the choice of Seoul made because it sounds like 'soul'?
Were they the monsters inside their souls?
Or am I reading too much into it. lol

I hadn't thought about that, but it makes complete sense. Se non è vero, è ben trovato, as they say in Italian.

Nope, in general we don't. It's very rarely used and probably only regionally. It's more widespread in Belgium than Italy.

Hm, I didn't think of it like that. I just assumed it was Seoul because a) It was on the same level/line (whatever you call it) with Gloria's town, and b) Because of the giant monster/robot, that seem to be linked with East Asia in pop culture.

But what you thought of is pretty neat.

in the flash back, her science project had a South Korean flag on it?

Yes! I think it even had Seoul written on it. And the boy's had Madrid.
