Perspectives on Metropolitan Cities from Provincial Regions like Gyeongnam vs. Seoul

In Chungnam, do people consider Daejeon to be the Seoul of the Chungcheong region? In Jeonnam, do they consider Gwangju to be the Seoul of the Jeolla region?
Specifically, people from the Gyeongsang provincial regions are high-class, yet they make up the majority of real estate owners in Seoul, while those just living in Busan... people in Busan live under a huge delusion. There is a reason why people from other regions talk about Busan in a certain way. They are all hype.
People living in the Gyeongsang provincial regions have their roots in Gyeongsang but travel to Seoul frequently. This is because they own real estate or have connections in Seoul. Honestly, Busan isn't that great because there is a huge gap in standard compared to Seoul.
They are only called the "second city" out of politeness, but they mistakenly believe they truly are the second city.
Busan has more people from other regions. There are many from Jeolla. The real deal, the true elite, are from the provincial regions like Gyeongnam.
Because Busan is administratively a metropolitan city, they mistakenly believe their own standards are correct and that they are the real deal. It is a place where unremarkable people achieve a "mental victory" just by being in a metropolitan city.
Most people in metropolitan cities are actually people who moved there from the surrounding provincial regions. If you were to rank whether someone is a "Seoul person" or a "metropolitan city person," those who chose Seoul are naturally superior.
