Hello!

This is Kim Saimdang, living an active life.

If I decide to do something, I do it.

Especially exercise.

I eat so much though...

It's a shame I can't lose weight.

But I definitely exercise for my health.

It's still hot, but I love hiking!

I came to Guryong Mountain.

This is my tenth day in a row.

I start at the stairs in front of Queen's Dom 108 in Sannam-dong.

I was a little late because I was dragging my feet at the thought of exercising, haha.

Starting at 10:18 AM!!

There's a place to wash your feet at the entrance.

Some older folks leave their shoes here and go up.

There are more and more people hiking barefoot.

The initial climb feels the hardest.

After that, it's manageable since you're walking along the ridge.

I always go up the right-hand side first.

Because I want to experience the summit quickly, haha.

I run on even paths like this.

That's how I feel like I'm getting a workout.

There are benches here and there.

I don't take any breaks.

I'm a busy person.

I don't want to spend more than an hour exercising, haha.

This is a tough section too.

You can think of it as the final struggle towards the summit, haha.

Happy time

A beauty, I am. LOL.

I even charmed a squirrel that usually darts away quickly.

I wonder if it's sick...

A squirrel spacing out for 5 seconds, haha.

I see a roe deer about once a year.

I see squirrels about three times a day.

If I'm lucky, I see a chipmunk too ^^

There are exercise machines right below the summit.

Be careful of that yellow iron bar. It has a smell that's perfect for getting metal poisoning, haha.

Happy time

It takes about 10 minutes to get to the summit.

There are paths down to Seonghwa-dong and Gaesin-dong!

My usual certification shot.

This is so much fun.

I don't like taking selfies these days because I'm getting old...

But I can't resist a workout shot, haha.

I took a picture, washed my hands, and rinsed my mouth.

Last time, there was a sign saying "Do Not Drink," but it's gone now.

I guess we can drink it now.

I happily head down from the summit towards the Korea Water Resources Corporation.

Fantastic scene

After walking for a while, you'll see the end ^^

There are exercise machines here too.

I don't use them.

There's also a pavilion to rest in and a mirror, haha.

It's funny to see a mirror on a mountain.

It makes me wonder if someone planted it there for me, haha.

There are steep paths, so be careful.

I'm hiking in running shoes, so it's slippery ㅠㅠ

Now I'm going back down the way I came up.

The downhill is the hardest part for me...

Warm memories

But there's only going up left in my life now...

I happily skip down.

Arrived at 11:01 AM ^^

One lap of Guryong Mountain takes 42 minutes.

When I measured from home on another day, it took 53 minutes.

Impressive scene

It's a course I can climb in 40 minutes when my body feels light.

It's still hard to exercise with this heavy body.

But this body doesn't seem to want to change...

On the way home,

I entrust my heart to the sunlight,

Thinking of your work,

I am saddened by countless thoughts.

(From the lyrics of 'Going Home')

I'm not sad~ I'm happy! LOL

Try exercising like this every day.

You won't lose any weight~

Because I eat a lot...

Sigh...

The never-ending story of dieting...

But it's a diet I have to do.

Real Korea, Curated for Global Travelers

WassupKorea is a next-generation platform designed for foreigners who want to truly experience Korea — not just as tourists, but as locals. While countless Koreans have shared their daily lives, food experiences, and cultural tips through blogs, videos, and social media, much of this valuable content remains locked behind language barriers. WassupKorea solves this by collecting and curating high-quality local content and making it accessible to global audiences through real-time AI-powered translation. Instead of superficial recommendations, users gain access to authentic, first-hand stories — from hidden street food spots to weekend mountain hikes — written by Koreans for Koreans, now reinterpreted for the world.

AI-Powered Personalization, Translation, and Voice Interaction

What sets WassupKorea apart is its deep integration of artificial intelligence at the core of the platform. AI matches users with personalized content based on their language, nationality, and travel interests. Whether you're looking for vegan Korean food in Jeonju or part-time job tips in Seoul, the platform's smart engine brings the most relevant, timely posts to the forefront. Every piece of content — blog summaries, local guides, user comments — is instantly translated using advanced AI translators. Users can also listen to posts via natural-sounding voice AI in their own language. Real-time voice translation in community chats allows for live conversations between users from different countries. With voice synthesis, AI can even "learn" your voice preferences to create a more natural and immersive experience.

A Living Community Driven by Local Content and Global Connection

WassupKorea is more than just an information portal — it’s an AI-driven community hub that grows smarter as users interact. Travelers and residents alike can share their own content via links from TikTok, Instagram, or YouTube, or directly post on the platform. AI categorizes the content, suggests similar posts, and connects users with shared interests. Foreigners living in Korea can also access essential resources like visa tips, rental guides, job listings, and lifestyle hacks. As more content is generated and more interactions occur, the AI refines its recommendations — creating a dynamic feedback loop that benefits every user. WassupKorea bridges the gap between Korea’s deep local knowledge and the global audience eager to explore it, forming a smart, multilingual, and inclusive platform for everyone curious about life in Korea.
