Weekend in Seoul (first time) or HK?

Hello all,

I will have 2-weeks business trip to Seoul and Hong Kong so I will need to spend weekend in one of those cities. Question is which?
I know, tough choice so I kindly ask recommendations and thoughts from those in knowledge.

Just to position myself:
- it will be my first trip to Seoul (and it is unlikely I will visit it soon again)
- Seoul is first part of my business week and I will see bits of it during weekday evenings (do I really need a weekend there?)
- I have been to HK on several occasions so I have seen most tourist things for first time visitors there (but this city will never be explored fully and I am happy to go again and again ^ )
- I am comfortable to be in the crowd, see local sights on my own (tourust buses and groups are not my thing at all), eat local food, visit areas off beaten track (if they are safe enough), just wonder around and see how locals live, and generally relax.

So, should I stay in Seoul for weekend (or maybe 1 day only?)
or
fly to Hong Kong on Friday night and enjoy whole weekend there?

locations, choices, locations, choices Many thanks for all your thoughts!
